The Lone Star Ladies are pleased to present Austin's 2^nd annual premiere+shopping event, “SHOP AUSTIN”, featuring a juried selection of 50 handmade artisans, a complimentary Beauty Lounge sponsored by milk+honey day spa, delicious sweet and savory gourmet food in the cafe, and the presentation of the Frontier Scholarship Recipient.

The first thirty shoppers to arrive will receive a “goodie bag” stuffed with great giveaway items from vendors and local businesses, and printed by “Extra!Extra!” Sponsor, South Side Sanctuary. Shopping begins at 10:00 a.m., and admission is $10; tickets available in advance via the website, or at the door. Plenty of free parking is available near Saengerrunde Hall.

Shoppers from the 2009 event said "Shop Austin is a ‘hip and upscale’ event to attend, which appeals to more than just the DIY crowd." "We want to offer the finest shopping experience in Austin — family friendly, community supportive, and featuring top notch artisans — all set in a uniquely Austin location that celebrates our rich Heritage," says Anne Marie Beard, Co-Producer of the event. "The addition of the Frontier Scholarship is a life-long dream come true — we hope to nourish a little seed of artistic vision and hope in Austin, Texas."
