September is known as the fashion and style issue in the magazine world, and we are thrilled to participate in the trend. While we are bringing you some of the latest styles, we know that Boerne is a wonderfully eclectic community with precious gems of style that goes deeper than the surface. I’ve come to understand that behind the beautiful fashion, home, and culi nary styles we feature, are the members of our community who have the substance that is expressed in their styles. That is why I am so pleased to introduce you to our new lead photogra pher, Sarah Brooke Lyons. I’ve known Sarah many years and have seen her tell wonderful stories with a single image. Hanging in my home is a photo graph she created from her time in the little village of Dano, Burkina Faso where we lived. An image of a local woman – from her knees down dancing - is a story worth a thousand words. Our cover is no exception of a great story. We hope you enjoy the image of Greg White as he is ‘fitting’ a hat in his store, Billy’s Western Wear, bringing yet another unique work of art to hisAscustomers. ourmagazine continues to grow, we strive to bring you feature edi torials, wonderful images, and advertisers who offer you enjoyment and connect you increasingly within our community.

CONTINUED > HONEY CURRY LAMB (8 6-OZ SERVINGS) • Approximately 3 lbs Rack of Lamb or Lamb T-bones (3 per person) • 3/4 cup Honey • 1/2 stick Butter Curry rub - grind together and coat lamb: 1-1/2 teaspoon each of yel low curry powder; peppercorn blend, with extra pink peppers, salt, coriander seed, turmeric powder, onion powder, garlic powder Sear lamb in butter or grill for approximately 1 minute per side on high heat until brown. Remove, coat lamb with honey on a sheet pan and bake at 425 degrees in the oven or on the grill until desired tem perature (we prefer medium rare 130-140 degrees). Serve immediately on mashed potatoes, polenta, or risotto. SEARED SCALLOPS WITH AN APPLE SLAW (8 PORTIONS) • 24ea U10 (Large Sea) Scallops • Salt and Pepper APPLE SLAW • 8ea Granny Smith Apple, julienned • 6ea Red Bell Pepper, julienned • 12 T Fresh Mint, julienned • 4ea Juice of Lemon • Salt and Pepper LEMON BUTTER SAUCE • 2 cup White Wine • 12 T Lemon Juice • 2 cup Heavy Cream • 6 oz Butter, Cubed • Salt and Pepper to taste In a bowl add the apples, red bell pepper, mint, salt, pepper and the lemon juice. Set aside until ready to use. Heat a saute' pan on medium heat. Season the scallops with the salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the pan and cook for about 2 minute per side. To make the sauce add the white wine, lemon juice to a small saucepan and cook on medium heat until reduced to half. Add the heavy cream and cook until the cream is thick and reduced to half. Add the butter and let it melt until incorporated. Bring it to a boil then remove from the heat and season if necessary.
The Fall season is the perfect time to plan a dinner party and the perfect place to start is to determine the theme. Depending on your style, it can run the spectrum from simple to elaborate. Just remember, though, you will want to plan efficiently and in advance so that you can enjoy the evening as well as your guests. Inspiration for this arti cle comes from Joi Sanders, co-owner of Richter Boerne. She and Stephanie Anderson create beautiful settings for themed events at Richter Tavern. Jac's Personal Touch on Main Street provided the soup tureens, butter dishes, bread plates, napkins and platter. You can find many beau tiful items in Jac's. With a Fall theme for eight to ten guests, we’d use decora tive platters to dress up the table as centerpieces. Fruit and colored unscented candles will add to the ambiance of the seasonal décor. Use white plates for the food styling so the beautiful food you’ve prepared is highlighted when serving. Fancy-folded cloth napkins and place cards can be used for adding that something extra. It is best to send out the invitations at least two weeks in advance and collect RSVPs the day before the dinner. Be sure to check on dietary restrictions and make sure the guests get along so that the conversation is friendly and enjoyable. Never try a new recipe for a dinner party. Shopping ahead of time for the ingredients and sticking to your budget will ensure a less stressful day of preparation. When preparing the food, plan to multitask, and selecting items with short and long cooking times will help to spread out the tasks. Feel free to purchase the bread and dessert from a local provider instead of making it yourself. Richter Bakhaus is an excellent place to shop. Arrange the table ahead of time and select the wines with the menu in mind. You can welcome your guests with a glass of sparkling wine. If you are serving a white wine, be sure it is completely chilled before the guests arrive. If serving a pinot noir, it will take about four hours to breathe after opening. All of the wines in the photographs are sold exclu sively at Richter Cork & Keg. When estimating the quantity to buy, note that a 5-oz pour will net four glasses of wine from a bottle. Finally, have a station for water or place carafes on the table.

EXPERT HELP | LOCAL SERVICES LYONSBROOKESARAHBYPHOTOGRAPHY|HIROSKYMORGANBYARTICLE MEET MASTER HATTER, GREG WHITE WITH BILLY’S WESTERN WEAR
Billy’s Western Wear is a local family-owned specialty western store. It is held in high esteem for its extensive selection of western wear products, such as boots, hats, apparel, belts, purses, jewelry, candles and so much more. Billy’s has thousands of styles and an enormous selection of all the famous brands. Additionally, Billy’s has an incredible, creative emphasis on both hat customization and shaping with extensive training that has been perfected for over 42 years. Boerne
For Billy’s the hat industry has been especially fruitful in recent years due to popularity spikes in western wear, in part due to the Emmy-nominated neo-western, Yellowstone. Wardrobe for the series pur chased hats from Billy’s in June for their upcomingBecauseseason.oftheir great selection of hats in-store and online at BillysWesternWear. Com and because of their sought-after custom hat services, they continue to have great success and have seen a huge increase in custom hat sales. Instagram has had a huge impact as well as people from all over the world can message them on either of their Instagram pages; #billy swesternwear or the #billyscustomhatters and can help with any hat they may want, custom shape it, and send pictures to the customer as the hat is progressing. Then when the hat is perfect, it is shipped to wherever they are in the world.

Billy’s is appropriately named after its co-founder, Billy Bishop, who along with his wife Sarah started the company in 1980. Billy, now 96 years old, is known for his acclaimed company and courageous mil itary service in both World War II and the Korean War. Billy and Sarah's son-in-law, Greg White, joined the business in 1987, who with his great staff successfully run both Boerne and Kerrville stores as well as the E-Commerce store. He is continually teaching and training people in the art of creating custom designs for online cus tomers as well as those living and visiting both stores. Do you have a hat that is worn or needs to be cleaned and brought back to life? Their hatters can make that happen.
Whether you pick a style right off the rack or if you desire a custom crease, band and/or feather, they will customize your hat to your complete satisfaction.
Although business is booming, the hat industry is one of many industries facing major tribulations due to supply chain issues far out of their control. Complications with tertiary sources fulfilling product demand have ultimately led to a hat shortage, leaving companies with no choices besides placing merchandise on backorder for 12 to 24 months. Some companies are not even taking any orders at all.
Felt hat materials include the highest grade of beaver, with hats made with 100% pure beaver and other higher qualities include chinchilla with a 14K gold buckle with diamonds that retail at over $5,299.99. The more beaver fur in the hat, the better the quality.
Another important fur blend for making felt hats are rabbit hides; unfortunately, one of the biggest importers is in Ukraine, so it has been more challenging because rabbit is an important ingredient for making quality felt hats. The lower-priced hats are made from wool felt and are more affordable. Straw hats are made from all types of straw, Palm leaves and/or Sisal. A lot of the hats that Billy’s carries are made in the U.S. Some are imported from all over the world and shipped to stores like Billy’s where they are customized and hand-shaped. By providing high-quality attire for a wide-ranging spectrum of customers, Billy’s Western Wear is a must-stop. Their impres sive inventory and all-encompassing span of merchandise easily cater to a plethora of wants, needs and preferences. Above all, Billy’s demonstration of intertwining family values and tradition into their business is what truly dignifies this establishment.

“The Queen Anne style was one of the most common American house forms in the late 19th century and fea tured a symmetrical floor plan and extensive exterior detailing. This style is generally two-stories in height and often features corner towers, turrets, or projecting bays.”
One of the great things about living in Boerne is that it is rich in history and the architecture of the homes and retail spaces take us back to the early days when the town was first created and settled. So many of the stone buildings on the Historic Mile were built in the 1800s and there are many structures that were homes and are now housing businesses. In 2011 the Boerne Historic Landmark Commission created a document for historic design and repair guide lines in order to keep the heritage architecture in place. A shout-out to Ben Adams and Paul Barwick for their valu able input! I've included just a few of the architectural styles found in Boerne. “The earliest construction were log houses, based on patterns developed in the upper and lower Southern United States, as well as rural medieval houses in the homeland.”
“The German Sunday House was a small one- or tworoom cottage with an upstairs loft (often reached by an exterior stairway) built in town by farm families who needed a place to spend the night while shopping, visiting friends, or going to church.”
BOERNE’SARCHITECTUREHISTORIC CONNIE MCFALL CLARK a Wealth of Style and
“The Homestead or Gable Front dwellings are vernac ular or folk housing forms of the late 19th century. These dwellings are typically of frame construction, two stories in height, and have gable roofs. Decoration is often more restrained than found in the Queen Anne style except for milled porch columns and brackets on the primary façade. The Stick style is characterized by the widespread use of decorative milled detailing and varying uses of wood wall surfaces. These dwellings are similar in form to the Queen Anne style and generally have high pitched gable roofs and asymmetrical floor plans.”

“The Two-part Commercial Block is identified by the division of the façade into two well-defined distinct hor izontal sections. Though the design works as a whole in rhythm and pattern, each story is distinct from another in finishes, proportions, or scale. The architectural prec edent for this building type can be traced to the time when urban buildings contained shops at street level with living quarters being built above. Many examples of the Two-part Commercial Block line Boerne’s Main Street.”
Take time to look at the historic structures along Main Street and the adjoining side streets.

“The Gothic Revival style was influenced by the for mal Gothic designs and forms of Europe. This style was especially popular for churches and civic buildings. The robust masonry forms and rich texture of this romantic style derive from the medieval Romanesque architecture of France and Spain. The characteristic features of the Romanesque Revival, include heavy rough-cut stone, round arches, and sometimes densely carved decoration with interlaced motifs. Constructed of solid masonry, Romanesque Revival buildings were expensive.”

A Spotlight on the Pearl Antler
All
Just down River Road in downtown Boerne, just a block away from the Dodging Duck restaurant, you will find a truly unique gem in the realm of hill country boutiques. As described by owner Reagan Harris, the Pearl Antler boutique is, “a lot of glamour, some spar kle, a little sass, well maybe a lot of sass, totally outrageous, a spoonful of sophistication, always patriotic, a sprinkle of hippie and of course a dash of darlin’.” With such a description, anyone can imagine such a place must be bursting with vividity.

But, returning to the subject of sparkle, the shop is well on its way to prepping for the fall fashion season. You can expect premier southern glamour for the upcoming season, complete with a bold 80s color palette and brilliant accessories. Hot pink and bright purple make their triumphant return this season in numerous textures such as velvet and satin-esque materials.
FASHION FORWARD | STYLE + BEAUTY30
And vivid it is; the Pearl Antler perfectly embod ies a vibrant take on the hill country look. This hill country look has its roots here in Boerne too: owner Reagan herself is a Boerne native and returned to the town after achieving both bache lor’s and master’s degrees.
Harris expressed that after she had been assist ing her friends to start their own boutiques, she was inspired to establish her own. And while the boutique does its share of spreading sparkle and glamour, Harris sees her business to have a greater purpose of being a place where stories are shared and community is fostered.
The Pearl Antler is here to prove that fall is not just limited to deep oranges and browns: it is fully ready to take a spunky yet chic take on the autumn season. And don’t forget that hint of animal print; as shown in these outfit samples, we can all utilize that hint of leopard print to add a touch of spice to your look. The same is reflected in the jewelry choice: there is nothing like a unique necklace or earrings to complete an outfit. Notice the Pearl Antler’s use of jade and pearls to create that final picture. With these dazzling features, we are cer tain to take fall to the next level. Needless to say, if you find yourself perusing downtown Boerne this fall, be sure to make a stop at the Pearl Antler for all your glamour and sass needs, and maybe even a good chat.
