Sante Fe Flea-Inspired Design

Whether you are hunting down rodeo buckles or high-end leather wear, the Sante Fe Flea at El Museo is a place where old world goods mingle with inspired style and design. This Hispanic-influenced powerhouse of a flea market boasts hundreds of vendors—all of which speak to the Western and tribal-inspired work that is often seen in Hollie Wood Style.

Of the vendors featured at the flea market, one woman’s space was particularly eye-catching. Dana Waldon—a photographer, designer, and now Hollie Wood Style kindred spirit—immediately stood out for not only her unique eye for Western pieces, but also her keen treasure hunting skills. 

Dana’s fresh and modern pioneer charm is also reflected in her Sante Fe Scout bag collection. Using reclaimed materials, each Scout bag is built by hand using materials like Navajo weavings and horse tack. 

For your own home, Native American and Hispanic accents can add a touch of wildness to a structured space, or a larger piece—like a beautiful patterned rug—can add a pop of color to a room that needs a little bohemian love.

A Cathedral of Junk by Vince Hannemann 

The Austin resident Vince Hannemann began collecting trash since 1989, creating a colossal cathedral of junk. In 2010, the city claimed it to be unsafe, and essentially asked him to remove 60 tons of objects.

An engineer later on approved the safety, and ever since volunteers have been helping to build back the original structure. 

The filmmaker Evan Burns meet up with this king of trash and got to pick some thoughts of his. For some pictures and the rest of the story, go here
