Well “HELLO, New Year” and “HEY THERE, 2022”! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday, filled with lots of good memories to carry you through the rest of this wintry season! But, speaking of holiday memories (and all that goes into making them)…that full calendar of holiday to-dos, fun activities, and magic making have left us a bit—tired! That’s why, this month, we’re committing to the 3 Rs: Resting, Resetting and Recharging…

Oh, the annual list of holiday to-dos! They’re endless, we know, and with so many ways to shop, it’s hard to know where to begin! So, we’re offering our two cents and recommending kicking off your holiday shopping in a small (but big) way, by shopping local with us this Plaid Friday! What’s Plaid Friday, you ask? Well, it’s like Black Friday, but for small businesses…

The full glory of autumn has finally arrived and for those of us here in the south, it’s time to face the reality of summer’s end and begin embracing the fade of our gardens, falling leaves, and cooler temps. Autumn always feels like possibility, but this year that feeling of hope is a little more special…

It's finally here…The mornings are crisp and dark, sunsets are coming earlier, and pumpkin spice EVERYTHING has hit the shelves. It's the most wonderful time of the year: It's FALL YA'LL! …

If you've ever needed a great reason to shop local and support our downtown Boerne retailers, this is it! The Boerne Retailer’s Style Show & Shopping Event is slated for next Saturday, September 18th, from 6-9pm at Don Strange Ranch…

Y’all. You won’t believe what’s been flying off the shelves at Corner Cartel this summer (or maybe you will?)…absolutely anything and everything Yellowstone! What is it about Yellowstone that draws us in? Well, for those of us who aren’t familiar with the show, let’s recap…

One of my favorite things about retail is going to market to purchase inventory with which to stock the shelves. There’s an excitement in the atmosphere that’s likely a result of a combination of things: the anticipation of the changing seasons, the upcoming holidays, and simply in exploring all that’s new with regards to the ever-changing trends in the industry…

For a year that has been filled with a pandemic, job loss, stimulus checks and vaccinations, it has flown by surprisingly fast. With life getting back to normal and school coming to a close, it's been wonderful to have in-person proms, graduations, award ceremonies and sporting events to look forward to…and the opportunity to hug our friends and family again! And summer will be here before we know it, so let’s celebrate with this Boerne bucket list…shall we?

There’s a special place for pickers, collectors, and boutique owners that makes our lil’ hearts go pitter-patter exactly twice a year…A place with literally miles of treasures to discover, food, and festival-esque fun unlike any other. A little place called Round Top…

Renée Taylor served thirty years as a military spouse, and upon her husband’s retirement, she decided it was time to chase her own dream of becoming an interior designer. Now, she not only offers custom design service packages…

Love is in the air at Corner Cartel and to celebrate, we’re sharing our first-ever Valentine’s Day Gift Guide. Whether you’re shopping for your significant other or even a special friend or teacher in your life, we really think you can’t go wrong with any of these amazing treasures!

This December, as small businesses in Boerne learn to navigate a whole new version of the Christmas shopping season, shops around town are staying open later, piping festive music onto the streets, donning their best Victorian-era garb, and more to encourage local Boerne residents to stay local and shop small…

It’s almost hard to believe, but Boerne Diva Night is BACK (Thursday, November 12th, 5:00-9:00pm)! And Corner Cartel, with our location right smack in the middle of historic Main Street, is more excited than ever for the return of this truly unique and exciting night of shopping, sipping, and strolling the Hill Country Mile. So for those of you asking, “What is Diva Night exactly?”…boy, have we got a treat for you!

Three years ago, Anne Herman launched A Thousand Hills Company with a desire to bring to market fresh, modern, and encouraging clothing designs founded on Biblical truth. She began designing and creating unique t-shirts and jewelry with a goal of inspiring and encouraging not just its wearers, but also those they would meet; providing what she calls “timeless truth to wear and share”…

School is finally back in session and for a lot of us, that means freedom that we haven’t seen in more than five whole months, right? So, what to do with all that newfound freedom? Sure, there’s work to be done, but there are also a whole lot of ways to spoil ourselves a bit while we do it!

So, whether you’re into great food, refreshing drinks, healthy or fun activities and adventures, or just plain ol’ ways to make life easier as we roll into fall, this list is for you!

Summer is officially here…and we’re spending more time at home than ever, right? Last month, we discussed a few simple home and garden project ideas we hoped would inspire you to get creative in your own spaces. And today, we’re taking that further and chatting about all things paint! Milk paint, chalk paint, mineral paint…what’s the difference? And where do we even begin?

Well, we’re lucky enough to have three lovely vendors at Corner Cartel who each stock a different brand of paint for those summer DIY projects. We asked each of them for a quick crash course in their product and technique, and here’s what they had to say…

With as much time as we’re spending at home these days, it seems a lot of us are using this as an opportunity to do a bit of spring cleaning, reorganizing, and beautifying of our spaces…both inside and out. Families are taking advantage of the extra time at home to check long overdue items off the household to-do list, and for many, that extends outdoors to flower beds, chicken coups, and vegetable gardens too…
