Here are some pics of The Wondercraft's innovative owners and boutique:
The Wondercraft is here. If you find yourself in Austin, go explore!
Will Wonders Never Cease
It is my favorite kind of blog. Personal enough that you can glean the interests and obsessions of the blogger, but not so personal that you feel like your eavesdropping through someone’s kitchen window. It stakes a clear “domain” — retro lifestyle — but wanders freely, loping this way and that across the patch of land within that chunk of intellectual terrain. My highest compliment is that RetroModGirl manages to find idiosyncratic approaches to very accessible topics, in ways that gives retro “O.G.s” and retro nOObs something to savor. Other retro-themed blogs chat about MAD MEN and 50’s stoves and the like, but do other blogs show you the mansion that Magic Chef built?
RetroModGirl gets my “Green Monster” award for a blog that stirs feelings I say are admiration, is really just jealousy."
sixstringoutlaw , from the blog, RetroKustomHonkytonkA belated thank you to the awesome Vintage Verve!
You might have seen one out in Minnesota
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
Of aluminum and bakelite and glass
Like a locomotive they were streamlined
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
Out to Michigan up to Maine
You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the Piggly Wiggly
In the country out of Waynsboro
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
At the little gem diner off the six niner
Diner my shiny shiny love
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
Diner my shiny shiny love
The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top
The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
Dean Martin god rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
Diner my shiny shiny love.

I'm really glad the post turned out to be all artsy-fartsy...'cause I was worried at first that they were selling Wonder Bras door to door from their camper!
Thanks so much for this super-sweet write-up about us! We were really excited to see this. Love your blog!
Cool Arse! you know i've spotted a couple of those here in east nashville, one is just "rotting" in a little self made alley. dang! i need to get a picture for you! i dont think its big but its nice!
retro girl, have you thought about say from the 60's and so forth...retro plants? here in tennessee we had "all the rage" plants that we just dont see a lot of now. and really , it was during that time that certain dogs were all the craze.
Great write-up! Love seeing the progression of WonderCraft pics. :) Thanks for mentioning me too! I'm nowhere near as big as NSC, but I think it's pretty cool to be mentioned in the same breath as her.
Stella looks great! Awesome work, girls and congrats!! =D

You are the cutest blog on the block! Amazing how original and retro you've made this! Great job. Also love Stella airstream and using it for your retro merchandize. A chef in Miami uses his as a food truck. I must upload a ton of pix I took of vintage gas stoves when we were in Atlanta, think you'll like them. We'll definitely visit you if we ever get to Austin. Keep it up.
Great works by Girls and nice to see wonderful craftworks.
Bathroom Suites
That Stuffs was so cute..Antique table can also be an Antique Collectibles.
Oooh, I am in Austin. So I'll have to check it out. I love airstreams. I don't know if I want one myself, but they draw me like a magnet.
I love Airstreams-Becoming-Shops. Its the ultimate fixer upper, and completely American. Always brings a smile to my face.
