The Dallas Flea Market Opens Doors Dec. 5

Our very own upscale flea market opens at South Side on Lamar December 5. Made up of rows of Texas-based artists, this flea market will feature all kinds of goodies, like art, home goods, accessories, clothing, furniture, and edible treats. According to the market’s curator, Brittany Edwards, the concept for this flea market was inspired by legendary flea markets in California and New York and will contain a highly edited mix of Dallas’ best jewelry makers, bakers, designers, etc. She’s hoping, she says, to give the public access to some of Dallas’ hidden treasures. So mark your calendars for December 5 and get ready to do some local shopping! Five dollars gets you in the door, and most major credit cards will be accepted. The Dallas Flea. 1409 South Lamar St. www.thedallasflea.com

West Village a Welcome Haven for Haven

12_1I finally dropped into Haven’s new digs at the West Village the other day. You remember that store, right? Lovely home furnishings boutique in Victory Park. Such wonderful chic finds. Oh that’s right. You probably don’t remember it because hardly anyone shops at Victory. At least that’s what co-owner Jon Tutolo (pictured left with co-owner John Bassignani) told me. “Some days I wouldn’t see a soul. Now, there’s people walking by my shop. There’s such an energy here at the West Village,” he said. Though the new store is a 1/3 of the size of the original, it’s chocked full of candles, linens, lamps, books, furniture, and gifts galore. Couple Haven with Gardens around the corner and you have two of Dallas’ chicest stores (almost) side by side. That’s some good shopping. Photo by Vanessa Gavalya

Make Money Recycling at Dr. Delphinium

dr-delIn honor of Earth Day, April 22, Dr. Delphinium encourages everyone to check out the “Going Green” section of their web site for tips on how to keep the planet clean and healthy for us all. In addition, and this is my favorite part, they’re offering a $10 credit to their store for every five vases you bring in to them (what they don’t use, they’ll recycle). It seems everyone always has extra vases lying around (I know I do) and Dr. D came up with a great way to rid yourself of them and make a little dough on the side. I mean, what red-blooded woman doesn’t want a credit to a florist? We don’t need men to buy us flowers. We can buy them for ourselves! In the words of some of the most brilliant speakers of our time, The Spice Girls, “Guhl powah!” So clean out those cabinets and take part in their recycling program. But remember to save one vase for the flowers you’ll be buying with your $10 credit.

Lambert’s + Azaleas = Turtle Creek

It’s kind of hard to see it on this cold and dismal day, but spring is here.  And what is the most ubiquitous sign of spring in Dallas?  Azaleas.  Lots of them in lots of colors – hard to believe they were not  thought to be able to grow in Dallas until Lambert’s brought them here in 1935.  Lambert’s is celebrating 90 years of making Dallas beautiful – from time to time I’ll show old photos of how their landscaping shaped Highland Park.  PS – if your daughter is going through sorority rush – DO NOT photograph her at Turtle Creek with the azaleas.  From what I’m told, her picture will be ditched immediately.
