Sage Threads & Co. – Bringing the Latest Fashion Trends to Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 12, 2016

You don’t have to look over far to notice just how much the Lake Travis area has been growing lately.

The Oaks at Lakeway is being built out, the new and spacious HEB went in this year, even Lucy’s Fried Chicken made a new lakeside home this year.

Sage Threads & Co., one of the newest shopping ventures by owner Kenna Johnson, is making a huge splash in the little town of Lakeway. Tucked away next to Santa Catarina, the women’s clothier and accessories shop packs a huge fashion punch, whether you’re looking to dress up for a night downtown or just a comfy outfit to wear around on the weekend. The girls at Sage Threads & Co. have you covered.

The day has finally arrived! Lake Travisites, are you ready?

High 5, the only family entertainment center in the Lake Travis area opens today at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Can we get a community-wide round of applause?

Over the weekend, High 5 hosted soft grand opening events and VIP parties — and we were lucky enough to attend. What a treat!

If you haven’t stepped into a brand spankin’ new arcade before, it’s rather intoxicating. In fact, you may be so enamored with the brightly-colored shiny games that you forget there’s bowling and laser tag. And lots more!

You’ll seriously have the most enjoyable time while you’re walking, eating, and shopping in one of America’s top 10 mispronounced towns — commonly mispronounced Born by out-of-towners.

Here are some of the local shops that you’ll find in Boerne (pronounced Ber-NEE), Texas:
