5 Featured Products From Local Austin Vendors
Spooky sparkle, fall centerpieces, and a little Texas heat.
September is when Austin starts easing into fall — even if the thermometer doesn't agree yet. To welcome the season, we rounded up five favorites from local makers and small businesses around Austin. Every piece is handmade or small-batch, and each one makes an easy gift (or a well-earned treat for yourself).
