Do you have plans for the weekend? Adam and I are heading to Dallas tomorrow for my family reunion, but I think tonight we’ll take it easy, get some dinner somewhere and maybe some margaritas. Is anything better than that first sip of margarita on a Friday night? That salty, limey buzz and the thought that you have the whole night in front of you without a thing to do except maybe watch a movie…that’s the good stuff. Or maybe we’re just getting old? Haha:)

Local Love // Mockingbird Domestics

(All photographs by Chelsea Fullerton and one by yours truly)

A few weekends ago our friend Jennifer invited me and Chelsea to the opening of Mockingbird Domestics on South Lamar. And woah, was I glad we went! This shop has incredible inventory at every price point. Beautiful vintage housewares for under $20 (check out the barware I scored below) and locally made tables, pottery and barstools from a variety of incredible Austin designers and makers. They also have a beautiful online store so you can purchase items from their shop even if you’re not in Austin.

More photos from our shopping trip below!
