Austinot Brittany checking out the event t-shirts at Austin Flea
Every 6-8 weeks, Austin Flea gathers dozens of Austin’s most creative individuals together to showcase and sell their unique products.
The Highball hosted the event for two years.
But due to current renovations there, The Rattle Inn has stepped up as host. The March 2013 event at 610 Nueces (off W. 6th St.) was jam-packed with vendors: downstairs in the bar and lounge area, upstairs on the patio, and lining the sidewalk along Nueces.

The next Austin Flea event is taking place this weekend, just in time for Mother’s Day. From 11 AM-5 PM at The Rattle Inn on May 11, 2013, you’ll have a chance to browse local handmade items and vintage wares.
We thought we had seen everything, when we discovered that the inside area of The Rattle Inn was also full of treasures!
Did I mention that Austin Flea is free and appropriate for all ages?!
Love the dino planters from The Plaid Pigeon
