The Stash

Best Place to Find Fairies
Todd V. Wolfson

Behind the motorcycle cop, hidden in the guise of a rustic shed, proprietress extraordinaire Yvonne Beltran shuns notions of what it means to run a successful boutique (/fine arts gallery ... /live music venue ...). Boasting a wide selection of Austin’s finest handmade gifts, jewelry, and soapy suds, the Stash encourages playful discovery and youthful curiosity. Browse the shelves full of trinkets and greetings, each more delightful than the one before. They've got garden shrooms and S.O.A.P. made by smelly ... errrr, aromatic South Austin hippies, not to mention a stunning array of sassy duds sewn by local artisans. Each week there's a new rotation of paintings and photography on display. How do they cram so much eye candy into one tiny location? Pixie dust, surely, is one of the key ingredients.
