THE FLINT & FLOWERS BLOG

Flint & Flowers started with a Shiner Bock in Luckenbach and five acres I didn't need — an attempt to offer, in limestone and live oaks, the hospitality strangers once gave me.

A chance meeting over handmade towels in Manila led to six horses crossing the Pacific — and a partnership built on one question: what makes something worth keeping?

The Trading Post has been a staple of Johnson City for many years – a place where locals gather on Friday and Saturday nights for live music, great BBQ, and the chance to visit with old friends and meet new ones.

The Hill Country Archeological Association is a community of avocational and professional archeologists studying and preserving the region's heritage.
