A LITTLE RE-TAIL THERAPY

The Dallas Farmers Market invites you to experience the excitement of a fabulous re-find this weekend as we celebrate National Recycling Day (officially November 15). Join us for a fresh spin on resale shopping at our Upcycle Market on Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Pearl St. Plaza. Discover a thoughtfully selected eclectic mix of vintage treasures, pre-loved fashion, creatively repurposed goods, and one-of-a-kind finds that prove good things deserve another go-around. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe, searching for a statement piece, or simply enjoying the thrill of the hunt, there’s plenty to love about shopping with a lighter footprint.

Stop by these vendors who make secondhand shopping a first-rate experience:

• Black Flame Vintage & Antiques – one-of-one candles in curated vintage and antique vessels; the past, beautifully relit
• CLUTCH – hand-curated vintage, streetwear, and sneakers
• Jetzamani – vintage items, mostly household pieces including art, VHS tapes, and home decor
• K.A. Apparel – upcycled vintage fabrics, all pieces are handmade
• Queen of Clothing – vintage women’s accessories, clothing, purses, and jewelry
• Tiedupcycle – bringing new life to vintage garments through the creation of clothing and hats

Plus, shop a few well-curated closet cleanouts filled with gently loved fashion finds ready for a new wardrobe to call home.

We haven’t forgotten about the little helpers, too, with our Recycling Kids’ Activity from 10:00 a.m. to noon on both Saturday and Sunday. Make a day of it at the Dallas Farmers Market and see just how much fun a little reworking and reusing can be.

A Grape Escape

It’s not too late to join the Dallas Farmers Market on Saturday, November 14, for a special agritourism excursion to Eden Hill Winery and Vineyard in Celina, where Texas-grown grapes and thoughtfully crafted wines take center stage. Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the vineyard and winery, discover the art of winemaking, and savor a curated tasting of five wines accompanied by an artisanal charcuterie board. At $60 per person, the experience includes round-trip transportation aboard a comfortable charter coach and a Dallas Farmers Market tote bag to commemorate the occasion. Departing the DFM at 11:50 a.m. and returning around 4:00 p.m., it’s an effortless afternoon escape with plenty to savor. Guests must be 21 or older, and reservations are required (tickets here). Gather your favorite wine enthusiasts, raise a glass to a memorable afternoon, and reserve your seat before this opportunity is gone.

Merry and Green!

There’s nothing quite like the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree to make spirits bright, but nobody wants their beautiful evergreen looking more Charlie Brown, less tree farm, before the holidays are done. The first secret to keeping your tree merry and green all season long is choosing a fresh one. That’s where Hemingway Hill comes in. Returning to the Dallas Farmers Market on November 21 and 22, and November 28 and 29, this family-owned farm takes freshness seriously. Their sustainably grown evergreens are cut just before travel from Washington state, shipped on ice, then placed in individual buckets of water once they arrive in Texas, ready to fill your home with holiday cheer.

You’ll find Hemingway Hill trees have soft, flexible needles, a wonderful evergreen scent, and branches that don’t shed with the slightest shake. Noble and Fraser Firs are especially good at going the distance, making them favorites for those who like to deck the halls before Thanksgiving leftovers disappear. Once you’ve picked your perfect match, Hemingway Hill provides a fresh trunk cut and a tree preservative packet to get things off to a great start. At home, keep the water coming by checking the stand daily and never letting the level drop below the base of the trunk.

A fresh beginning, a little attention, and plenty of water is all it takes to keep your tree looking its best. Skip the droopy branches and premature needle drop, and head to the Dallas Farmers Market for a Heminway Hill Christmas tree that’s ready to be festive from the first ornament to the final fa-la-la.

Relax, Rewind, Replay

Between discovering one-of-a-kind treasures at our Upcycle Market and checking a few names off your holiday shopping list, make time to enjoy the sounds of these talented North Texas musicians. Grab a seasonal bite, settle in, and let the live music set the tone for a weekend of great finds, festive shopping, and a little well-deserved downtime at the Dallas Farmers Market.
