Saturday was the only day I had to get those little items for everybody when you're travelling plus a few post cards (I know, who mails post cards any more? Apparently, I do).There was a parade in downtown Austin on 6th, I think, and a block on either side was also blocked off. So all of the parking up from the parade (and not being a local, I didn't know how to get around it), was full. I drove up and around and found a truck pulling out of a shady spot (wow!) and took that. I was getting ready to walk to the nearest spot where I could get local touristy stuff when I looked in front of me. There she was, the Old Bakery and Emporium and there was something that said 'local artisans'.I went inside and they had everything! I could have purchased one of the amazing quilts, or some of the earrings. I was hard-pressed not to purchase one of the beautiful mugs or a hand-made handbag. Pricing was reasonable in my opinion.I walked around and enjoyed the stories of the bakery and some lovely antique pieces (including the oven).After much thought I walked away with a wall hanging and two fridge magnets, all mosaic made with stained glass by a local artist. Such quality work! And, of course, postcards.Next time I'm in Austin I will definitely return and highly suggest you check it out if you have a chance to!

This place is popular with tourists since it across the street from the State capitol. It supports local artists with handcrafted merchandise and an upstairs art gallery. It has been recently remodeled and is beautiful.

One, this place has NO baked goods. It's just a gift shop and art gallery rolled into one small, tight building. Second, It's. Not. A. Bakery. AND ya done gotta pay to park. Like seriously, who does all that? We get trolled on the internet, and we now get trolled offline. #EXPOSED #Find a REAL bakery

Fun variety of local artisan goods, art and hand crafts - sometimes hard to tell the difference, which can be very good

The store and the juried third floor gallery. I tell my artist friends it is a great place for seniors to show and sell their wears.

I make handmade jewelry and they made it easy for me to sell a number of items and see the other local handmade art work. The only problem I had was that of any shop and that was from petty theft. Earrings are easy to steal.
