My daughters especially love the Lego building table and the treehouse & can't forget the 2 cats inside there, Junior & Gordo ^_^ we make sure to be extra careful opening and closing the doors so they don't escape the store! We always bring our out of town guests here & it's always a hit :)

We were visiting with a large group and strolled around here for almost an hour. I loved the different sections and high ceilings. It appears the shop may have a few cats that roam around during the weekdays and am dying to come back to say hello! A great way to support local on your next drive between Austin and Houston, or simply if in the neighborhood! The entire strip is really cute with a variety of shops, art, food, and live music.

I was instantly drawn to their wonderfully curated space and fell in love with their collection. A Husband and wife team is running this show and they couldn't be a kinder couple.

A Small-Town GEM with Big Style!…read more Walking into this boutique felt like stepping into a Western dream! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the friendliest smile and a "howdy" that felt so genuine. You can tell this shop was created with heart and intention. The clothing? STUNNING. Fringe, denim, tooled leather, turquoise jewelry, flowy dusters, graphic tees with sass -- they have everything a modern cowgirl could want. Whether you're headed to a rodeo, Sunday brunch, or just want to look fierce running errands, this place has you covered. What I really loved was how unique everything was. You won't find these pieces in a chain store -- and that's what makes it so special. Each rack had a story, each corner had a little treasure. Candles, home goods, cute western mugs, bandanas, gifts -- so many fun finds! Also, MAJOR bonus points: The vibe is immaculate. Rustic wood decor, twinkle lights, country tunes playing softly in the background, and displays that are so cute I took pics for inspo! Support small-town businesses like this -- they're the heartbeat of the community. If you're ever passing through, don't miss this place. And if you're local? You're lucky. You've got a slice of Western heaven right in your backyard. 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to come back with my girlfriends and shop again. #ShopSmall #WesternStyle #BoutiqueVibes #CowgirlUp

They've got an excellent collection of books fr gore to goth and all the wicked creepiness in between. The decor itself is worth the visit. Creepy, spooky, & all the haunted feels. Skulls, clowns, nuns, scary dolls, vampires, and all things dark encompass the interior design of this unique shop. I kept waiting for Vincent Price to round the corner. Great seating area to read and relax. Service is exceptional. This is another one of those bookstores where I could get lost for hours.

There were mainstream titles as well as true crime and horror movie nonfiction. The horror fiction contained many titles that I didn't recognize as well as local titles. There are at least three couches to relax on as you try to make a selection. The young lady behind the counter, Jackie, was friendly and knowledgeable. I picked up a couple of titles on her request. If I had a basement, it would look and feel exactly like this store. I cannot wait to come back here next time I'm in Texas!!!

It has been at this location for about 12 years and they have a sister store about a block away on the same street. This place is absolutely chocked, full of antiques and collectibles.

If you like antiques, this place should be on your radar, however, you'll be paying those high antique store prices. 10 photos included which don't even begin to capture the size of this place.
