Uncommon Objects
If not for the lure of the food trucks lined up across South Congress, we could have spent the entire day in this sprawling, swap-meet–style emporium, ogling quirky antiques ranging from 1860s typewriters (starting at $55) to 1960s acoustic guitars (from $150). 1512 Congress Ave. S., 512-442-4000, uncommonobjects.com

Moss Designer Consignment
Spotted at this sunny, uncluttered spot for gently worn designer goods: a cropped woven Chanel jacket and neon Balenciaga satchel in such good condition that they had us seriously questioning the sanity of the Texans who surrendered them. 705B Lamar Blvd. S., 512-916-9961, mossaustin.com
Shopping
Austin Country Flea Market
We love this open-air flea as much for its lineup of country music bands and $2.50 frito pies as for its eclectic selection of Mexican pottery and used Western gear, like perfectly broken-in cowboy boots. 9500 Hwy. 290 E., austincountry.citymax.com
