Go WEST
Here’s another post featuring a nearby #Small Business that we at Somewhere Over the Rainbow loves. WEST is amazing! An Antique and Vintage shop just packed with trinkets, treasures and the unexpected. It’s every bit as offbeat and eclectic (maybe even more so ;-)) as we are and so much fun to visit. I could spend hours and still not take it all in. Join me today for a pictorial tour that doesn’t even begin to show you all there is to see at WEST. The Guadalupan Lady WEST.

Yay Fall!
We’re jumping with Joy at Somewhere Over the Rainbow !We Love Fall, and all that it includes. Pumpkins, gourds and colorful foliage are cause for all the happy feelings. Cooler days and chilly evenings are for getting into cozy sweaters and socks, wearing boots and jackets. The days are getting shorter (good for sleeping) and the general pace of life just slows a bit. Halloween is around the corner, and after that the fun and excitement of the Holiday Season. We’ve got some new pretties in the store, and I am addding new/old vintage stock…

The End Of Summer
Is That Fall in The Air ☆ Or a Little Magic It’s the beginning of Labor Day Weekend as I write this— the unofficial end of Summer.

There’s no pattern that I can See so far, so I continue to watch and wait. Already, in just the few months we’ve been open, the shop has begun to morph and change. Often,…

Getting to Know Our Neighbors
At Somewhere Over the Rainbow, we’re not just enthusiastic about our own shop. Small businesses, particularly those in Small Towns need to support one another, to carry that idea of Shopping Local to the next level. We have to Live Local, to remember our neighbors, visit their businesses and choose to keep our own dollars in the community whenever it is feasible. To those ends, we want to use space on our website to promote our friends and neighbors in Fort Davis, and all the neighboring areas. Look for a post about a business or local…

Go For the Lights
Marfa, TX Stay for the charm. Not to mention the food, the art and the warm atmosphere that’ll keep you coming back for more. Marfa is amazing. We recently went and spent most of a day in this small, vibrantly creative town. Even though much has been impacted this year by Covid-19, it remains a destination not to be missed. A treat for the eye and the camera. There is something lovely, surprising, edgy or artsy (or all at once) around every corner. It is a town that has taken a remote location, a daunting…

Our Larger Local
Alpine, TX Small towns depend upon one another. Different services and businesses dot the landscape of each one. Alpine is a treat, from the wider array of services available to the quaint charm of such places as Murphy Street. We are only just beginning our exploration of this lovely town. Covid-19 has made this year difficult and trying for everyone. It has also put huge stress and economic hardship on small businesses everywhere. Still, it remains obvious that Alpine’s Downtown, a rather retro reminder of a more community centered chapter in American life, is a…
