HAUTE FINDS Austin Hill Country YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST OF LOCAL IN THE HILL COUNTRY // FALL/HOLIIDAY 2023
fall / holiday 2023
“Selling our home in this housing market seemed like a daunting task with the high interest rates, high inventory, and frequent backing out of home purchase contracts. When we thought we were in the middle of the worst possible situation with our home sale falling through, April was able to help us stay calm and put our home back on the market within the same day. We got multiple showings within 24 hours, which led to a sameday offer with a quick close. We wouldn’t have been able to sell our home in this current housing market without April! We are so thankful to have found her. She is the absolute best realtor in the area!”

When I met Rew from Saint Montogren's, he shared it had been his dream for years to open his own florist shop. His intricate, mood-evoking arrangements truly make the front cover of this Fall/Holiday issue and here we are, celebrating his new location inside Zoi Market in Buda! As I reflect on it, our Haute Finds guides are full of passionate business owners chasing their dreams, taking bold risks, overcoming endless challenges to open and keep their businesses thriving. Not for the faint of heart, especially in a world where Amazon is just a click away. Our mission is to make it easier for you to discover these great businesses and learn more about the people behind them - whether it's via our print guide, app or on social media! Wimberley invites you to their vibrant small town! They have a big presence in this issue and have evolved into a haute destination for shopping, great restaurants and boutique getaways. Flip Pages 30-32 to uncover all that it has to offer! Enjoy this issue brimming with local inspiration to help you celebrate, shop, eat, gather and explore this holiday season!
