The next time you’re in Wimberley and searching for a gift or unique home item, why not ditch your traditional routine? It’s easy to head to the mall or place an online order, but there’s something special about perusing countless options in search of that perfect piece. When you’re ready for an unforgettable shopping experience, make your way to this one-of-a-kind Texas antique shop.
When most people think about antiquing in Texas, Wimberley isn't usually the first town that comes to mind. Although most well-known for its summertime attractions like Jacob's Well, passing up a trip to this quirky market would be a rookie mistake.
In business since 1983, Star Antiques has managed to keep its doors open all these years despite being located in a community with just over 2,000 people. That's a testament to how truly unique the items you'll find here are.
Owner Lisa Kiefer hand-picks each treasure and ensures that nothing is on display that wouldn't be an absolute asset to your home. The setup is a random hodgepodge of things with no rhyme or reason to their placement, but you're bound to find a diamond in the rough - even if it takes a few hours of sifting.
Objects are strewn all over the lawn and stacked floor-to-ceiling inside, so there's no shortage of goodies to pilfer through. Whether you're in need of lawn decor, unique knick-knacks, or fine Victorian art pieces to spruce up the interior of your house, there's no doubt you'll find what you're looking for.
Star Antique specializes in lighting, so if you've been on the hunt for that perfect chandelier, wall sconce, or floor lamp, consider your search over. The selection is unlike anything you've ever seen.
