Every year more than 50 dealers of country and rustic furniture, period accessories, vintage quilts, folk art and stoneware pottery convene in Comfort Park in the small community for what has become one of the most anticipated antiques shows in the Hill Country. Tommy and Lori Titsworth of Texas Presentations directe the annual antiques extravaganza.

Sylvia Titsworth started the Comfort show at the request of the Comfort Heritage Foundation. “I wanted it to be similar to shows that I had attended in New England and Main,” she said. “I’ve always loved outdoor shows in a country atmosphere. The gazebo convinced me that this was the perfect place for an antiques show.

Antiques dealers from throughout the Lone Star State also converge in February for the annual Boerne Optimist Hill Country Antique Show & Sale, also directed tby Tommy and Lori Titsworth. One dealer characterizes it as “the best antiques show in the Hill Country.” An array of furniture, glassware, porcelain, toys, textiles, pottery. Folk art and architectural elements never fails to tempt show-goers searching for authentic antiques.

Antiques shows aside, the area is replete with retailers selling vintage wares.
