If you did not already know, we resumed in-person tastings and classes! Stop by and taste our award-winning oils and vinegar. We added Grab n Go perishables this year to both locations stocked with delicious cheese, meats, wine, and other goodies.

If you have shopped with us, taken a class, told someone about us, or shared a post about us...THANK YOU! Happy Thanksgiving! --Con' Olio Owner, Tabatha Conarko

THE VORTEX Featured Event: The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse directed by Melissa Vogt presented by Different Stages opens TONIGHT Friday, November 19th! Runs November 19 - December 11 8pm Thursday - Saturday, 6pm Sundays Ah, Thanksgiving, that most American of holidays: when families gather to bask in the bounty of the harvest, football, giant balloons — and a legacy of genocide and violent colonial expansion. Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists trip all over themselves to create a politically correct, yet historically accurate, yet dramatically revolutionary, yet accurately represented and responsibly cast Thanksgiving play for elementary schools. Different Stages asks that all patrons show proof of vaccination or a recent covid test (within 5 days of your chosen performance date) before entry. For the safety of actors and audience, masks are required in the theatre. Purchase tickets CLICK HERE. Visit the Facebook Events Page for more information CLICK HERE.

TOMORROW NIGHT Bloomers and Frocks Instagram Live Sale If you are following us on Instagram, you would have seen our journey to NYC two weeks ago for the Manhattan Vintage Show, one of the top vintage shows in the nation. We were partnering again with Indigo Style Vintage and Rebekka packed some killer vintage pieces to showcase and sell at this show. Unfortunately Southwest Airlines had other plans for our luggage and it took a week-long tour of ALL of Texas and Oklahoma. It has finally landed back in Austin. Super sad because it was a huge missed opportunity for the shop. But when life gives you lemonades...Since us ladies have to eat, Rebekka hustled and sourced new inventory in NYC to sell at that show and prayed to the vintage goddesses that our luggage would find its way home. After a bit of a journey, it finally did. So now we have double the amazing vintage... all the items we packed to take to New York PLUS some of the items that we sourced in New York that didn't find a home at the show. This means its time for another INSTAGRAM LIVE SALE! Now everyone has a chance to shop our best stuff.

At Vinca, we get inspiration from something seen in a dream, misheard from eavesdropping, or just because it happens to be our favorite (hello, tacos). Back in 2006, while toying with the idea of starting a company, Amanda decided to make something out of the thousands of pounds of small scraps from her family's leather goods factory. There happened to be a large amount of flower shapes left over from a custom job so she used those as the main accent on the first collection. The flowers quickly faded from the catalog to make way for weirder creatures like hammerhead sharks and squirrels, but the flower name "Vinca" stuck. Since the humble beginning, the brand is now sold worldwide, loved by customers who appreciate quirkiness from Austin to Korea. From making every single piece herself, the workshop now has several employees who work together as a team to produce thousands of pieces a month. Check us out by CLICKING HERE.

Autumn weather brings moisture, fallen leaves, and the return of forest fungi.

Mushrooms are designed by nature to consume debris for energy and can offer broad-spectrum immune support for people and the planet!

Featured Event: Plagues Within Plagues a Ballet Electronica for Film by Chad Salvata In-Person Screening: Wed., November 3rd 8pm Video on Demand: November 4-30 When COVID 19 locked down the world in 2020, cancelling live performances, Chad Salvata retreated to his BlackSun Studio and created a response with the music of Plagues Within Plagues. He shaped fantastical stories and characters for each of the 7 pieces: Plague of Poisons. Plague of Scorpions. Plague of Tempests. Plague of Serpents. Plague of Swords. Plague of Spectres. Plague of Fire. These extraordinary and challenging visions form a Ballet Electronica that broadens perspectives around our challenging times. Salvata engaged Sandie Donzica, Jose Lozano, and Bonnie Cullum to refine and polish the vision for each of the Plagues. We pulled outstanding costumes from previous Ethos productions to create the magical characters of Salvata’s vision. The rest was added by Jose Lozano onto green-screen backgrounds and even green-screen bodysuits. Selena Franco and Stella McGriffy created stunning makeup designs. Get tickets to the in-person screening HERE Plagues Within Plagues is funded and supported in part by VORTEX Repertory Company and by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

Make sure you know what your trust is intended to do. By Terry Belt and John Pearce Many new friends at Fowler Law are those we have fondly nicknamed our "California Pilgrims." They have left everything from a very beautiful state they love to come to a strange new land. They thoughtfully reach out to ask us about whether their California-drafted estate plan documents and trusts need to be changed when they become Texas residents. What we often find is that they never fully understood what type of trust they had drawn or the trust's purpose - whether formed in California, Texas, or on the Moon! If you don't know or aren't sure, we can help you. Our NO COST first consultation is a great way to get answers so you can go back to enjoying your new life in Texas.

As Texans, we're no strangers to the slips and snarls of our state's leadership. This year, however, we were especially frightened by the far-reaching turmoil unleashed by Texas' three heads of state: Gov. Greg Abbott, A.G. Ken Paxton, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Taking inspiration from Cerberus, the guard dog of Hades, we invite you to transform into the Lone Star State's three-headed (albeit graying) hellhound.

Kruger’s Diamond Jewelers will delight you with extraordinary service, exceptional merchandise and great prices. What’s not to love?

In 1906, an immigrant watchmaker named Sam Kruger opened a small jewelry store in north Texas founded on an unwavering commitment to customer service. Over one hundred years later, Kruger’s Jewelers is still serving Texans with that same extraordinary customer service. Why? Well, Sam had a secret. In all the years he was in business, he was never trying to make a sale; he was trying to earn a customer. That secret has been passed down through four generations, resulting in the kind of big-hearted, down-to-earth service that’s getting pretty hard to find these days. To this day, you can walk into Kruger’s and experience that same vintage customer service that’s kept our business around — and our customers happy — for over a century. Kruger's Jewelers 722 Congress Avenue Austin, Texas 78701 (512) 472-2485

What causes this torture? Could it be a lack of vital nutrients? More importantly, what can we do to immediately stop the cramping and prevent it from ever happening again? We have all been there – middle of the night, you awake from a deep sleep with the slow, intense, cramp in the lower leg, foot, or thigh. The cruel spasm can last for hours, releasing itself slowly just to add to the misery. Commonly referred to as charlie horses or leg cramps, the medical term is actually “nocturnal cramping.” Find out the best solutions on our Peoples RX blog CLICK HERE Peoples RX Austin's Favorite Pharmacy
