“Something for everyone” is the mission of the Shoppes at 222, says Owner Abbey Frazier. The store, located just off Main Street, features a wide variety of local vendors throughout the store. Frazier, who was a vendor in the shops before she became the owner in 2022, travels to local markets to find the unique local vendors she asks to join her store. While there is sooooo much more at the Shoppes at 222, we shine the light on a few of the great makers you can find inside.

Twisted Oak Jewelry by Julia Metz
Twisted Oak is a jewelry designer who is local to Boerne. All of Julia’s pieces are handcrafted from sterling silver, gold, bronze, and natural stones. You can only find her designs at the Shoppes at 222 and when she does pop-ups at local markets.

The Tea Chemist
It’s like Walter White broke good. Steve and Tracy, a retired high school chemistry teacher and an elementary school teacher, founded the Tea Chemist. Each blend is sourced from around the world, combining quality, health benefits, and flavor that everyone can enjoy.

From Heart to Home Designs
Based out of San Antonio, From Heart to Home creates handcrafted decor and art pieces. Owner and Founder Priscilla Jones says, “I love making things but more than that, I love making things for people that mean something. From Heart to Home Designs is where inspiration meets wit, and every product tells a story." 

Hill Country Sundries
If you’re looking for that perfect Texas souvenir, Hill Country Sundries might be your one-stop shop within the Shoppes. Specializing in Texas and Boerne-themed items like mugs, t-shirts, jewelry, and more, there’s the perfect southern pick for everyone.

Cultural Detour
Cultural Detour takes vintage and antique kimonos—some centuries old—and repurposes them into new garments and accessories. They’re soulful, sustainable, stylish, and guaranteed to inspire.

The Cactus Daughter
The resilience of the desert plant inspired Frazier’s own business within the Shoppes at 222. She founded The Cactus Daughter when she struggled to find her style in local shops. Now, it’s a mom-and-daughter boutique with a little Texas sass!!
