Shop Austin could not be possible without our fabulous
Sponsors - ones near and far...
First up - have you heard of
Funky Finds? Jessica Dougherty launched Funky Finds in March 2006 at the urging of her friends who were excited to get her emails with funky and cool finds... hence the slogan, "They once were funky lost, but now they are funky found!" There is something for everyone:

Funky Finds Spring Fling - Deciding that Tarrant County needed its own indie art & craft show in Fort Worth, Jessica & Joe produced their first
Spring Fling in April of 2009! The Spring Fling for 2010 takes place THIS COMING Saturday, March 13 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3409 Burnett-Tandy Drive. Indie art and craft fair, music, food, swag bags,
charitable event to support CASA and Humane Society of North Texas, free admission, free parking and pet friendly. Sounds like a road trip to Fort Worth is in order!

While we are being funky, I think we can explore the idea of being fit, too!
Bettysport is one of our local Sponsors for 2010. Founded in October 2004, Bettysport is the only fitness specialty store dedicated solely to women. Located downtown at 916A W. 12th Street, 78703, the store is a relaxing and calm environment, but also colorful and welcoming.
Bettysport is locally owned and operated, offering unique services especially for women, including bra-fitting (we know how important the right bra is for exercising!) and shoe fitting. If you want to get in better shape for the upcoming swimsuit season, try out one of the
Tusa Fitness Classes taught by
Christine Tusa. Of course we all want to
look good being fit, so Bettysport carries well-known lines such as Adidas and Nike, but more intimate lines such as Zobha, Oiselle and Rese. If you don't know what to buy your favorite "sporty betty", get her a giftcard and let her experience Bettysport for herself. Fit happens. Look good doing it.
Bettysport.

After we all get fit, then I think shopping for the latest fashion is in order and
Lovely Austin is just the place! Offering a couture boutique for shoppers to enjoy everything from jeans to special event wares and in a variety of sizes (0-24), their philosophy is the lovely people of Austin deserve lovely, unique, and elegant clothing.
We love having them as a Sponsor for Shop Austin 2010 and that they offer a green shopping experience offering gently used clothing, accessories, and jewelry on
consignment. If you want a contemporary line of clothing to choose from AND
support local designers - Lovely Austin offers that, too. And shouldn't our homes have
decor that is unique? Shoppers can choose from antique, modern, one-of-a-kind, accessories, small furniture and more.
Located at
1106 S. 1st Street, 78704, they now have new Spring hours: Mon, 12pm-5pm and Tues-Sat, 10am-6pm.
Lovely Austin - offering women a place to come together to buy, sell and trade wonderful goods!
