That Hill Country Feeling

A One of a Kind Boutique

Blue Oak Trading started as a dream several years ago. Bob Canales designed and remodeled this old office building into our Beautiful Texas Hill Country Store and recently renovated a historic building in Downtown Fredericksburg TX! With two locations we can offer even more unique local hill country gifts to our customers!

Hosting multiple vendors enables us to showcase a diverse and eclectic array of goods and décor. This approach allows us to engage with local entrepreneurs, offering them a platform to display and sell their products. By supporting these small businesses, we hope to help them grow and eventually open their own stores.

What Our Customers Have to Say!

“Wonderful place! Always, always am able to find a fairly priced, beautiful, one of a kind gift, and of course, something for myself! Staff is always pleasant and helpful.”

-Pattie SMith

“Drove past it many times. Finally stopped in today. Great store. Lots of unique items. From clothing, jewelry , home decorating items. Would definitely stop again”

-Mary Turner

“First time to shop there today. Was greeted immediately upon entering the store- not by one but two attentive staff. I was impressed with the diversity of locally produced items on consignment sale...”
