Upscale consignments |
4201 Westbank Drive Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 329 8421 |
The quality of a home consignment shop rests on how selectively the store consigns merchandise. Here, it is obvious that the items are looked over carefully before admission, and not just any secondhand sofa can get in. The brand names are top-notch, including Henredon, Thomasville and Roche BoBois. There is also Wedgwood China and Waterford Crystal. Some of the items come from well-heeled folk who are redecorating, others from model homes. The inventory changes often, so it is fun to check back and see what has newly arrived.

Farmer's markets have fresh food, but you need to get there early. A grocery store has variety and value, but the quality of the products may not suit your requirements. Neither of the places may deliver to you. What do you do? Contact Greenling. Greenling supports local farms and makes the organic foods movement accessible to all. Every aspect of the online shopping cart can be customized, and the delivery day is area dependent. Greenling offers variety, quality, value and delivery, all on one platter. And the platter's organic too! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Getcha goat cheese |
101 Twin Oaks Trail Austin, TX 78620 United States +1 512 858 7034 http://www.purelucktexas.com/ |
If there's one cheese vegans choose to eat, it's Pure Luck Goat Cheese. Just this fact speaks volumes about Pure Luck. The cheese are made from the milk of Nubian and Alpine goats and have just the right consistency and tang. Take your pick from the variety of Chevre, Feta and the much acclaimed Del Cielo. Pure luck Goat Cheese can be bought at various locations in Austin including Central Market, the Wheatsville Food Co-Op and Wink. You could also consider a scheduled tour of the farm(the farm is closed to general visitors). Given the countryside ride and the cheese, that's two good incentives right there.

Recycled rain! |
2770 Highway 290 West Tank Town World Headquarters Austin, TX 78620 United States +1 512 894 0861 http://www.rainwatercollection... |
The first reaction to Richard's Rainwater is shock, then surprise and awe and finally a feel-good smile. Richard Heinichen was thirsty. He did what most of us wouldn't. Catch rainwater before it hits the ground(through a non-chlorinated closed loop system of pipes and filters, for those interested), purified it, bottled it and voilà! Recycled bottled "cloud juice", as pure as it gets. Word's gotten out about his ingeniously simple enterprise and people from all around don't mind driving out to Tank Town World Headquarters (Richard's bottling facility) to buy a case or two. Sure, it's more convenient to order bottles online, but who wouldn't want to shake Richard's hand? Review © 2007, Wcities |

The walls are covered with artwork—not anything typical, usually very eclectic or raw pieces are shown. The atmosphere is laid back and casual with diner booths filling the small space.
