Made Whole Mosaics

After a five-year hiatus, Market in the Meadow made a roaring comeback last year, drawing shoppers from all over the metroplex. The community-wide event serves as the largest fundraiser for Forest Meadow Middle School, with proceeds supporting teachers, students and programs on campus.

This year’s market, led by PTA chairs Miranda Henson and Kristi Kendall, will feature a mix of more than 150 new and returning merchants. The chairmen visited other markets and bazaars to recruit vendors with top notch goods, and they focused on community-based merchants, rather than those who travel in from around the country.

Here are 10 of the market’s newest vendors:

Made Whole Mosaics is the brainchild of Lake Highlands High grad Lindsay Brunkenhoefer, who handcrafts trays, tables and other beautiful pieces using mosaic tiles. Her artwork is “inspired by the beauty of restoration,” and she accepts commissions to do specialty work.

Peonies Hat Bar

Peonies Hat Bar out of Saint Jo, Texas, capitalizes on the popular hat trend. They let you design your own custom hat, plus they offer turquoise, jewelry and boots.

Made By Marge began as a side hustle for Margaret Peus, who grew up in Fort Worth, studied biology at Stanford and consulted in life sciences. Between projects, she experimented on cookie recipes and now sells frozen, ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough which is handmade daily.

Molly’s Margs was founded in 2025 by Lake Highlands neighbor Molly Vaughn, who says the organic, natural, skinny margarita mix is “perfect for girls’ night, patio season or survival after bedtime.” Really Good Salsa is also available.

Fiber Theiff upcycles vintage quilts found at antique malls, thrift stores and estate sales to make one-of-a-kind jackets, vests, bags and other items. Her colorful creations are head turners and conversation starters.

Palms 30A

Palms 30A is a luxury brand based in Watersound, Florida. They carry a wide variety of beautiful goods for home and family, but their bestsellers are Mahjong-related.

Mess Hall Dallas was wildly popular at the State Fair of Texas creating custom trucker hats and tote bags. They’ll bring their variety of patches to the market and personalize on site.

Childhood neighbors Haley Abio and Grace Wielar founded HG Charm Bar in the summer of 2024. With thousands of options to choose from, customers are invited to create jewelry — and an experience — which is uniquely their own.

Punky Collective

Punky Collective handcrafts unique, upcycled ruffle-collar button-ups from thrifted and vintage finds. No two are ever alike, says April Snider, who founded the clothing brand known for its repurposed men’s shirts. Snider goes by “Punky,” the childhood nickname given by her father.

Favor the Kind and ROAM Fine Goods, owned by Lake Highlands’ Carley Seale, have brick-and-mortar locations in East Dallas and Preston Hollow, but Market in the Meadow will give shoppers an opportunity to pick up her unusual gifts, clothing and home goods without leaving the neighborhood. Seale modeled her business after her inspirational mom, who taught her to work hard, be kind and have fun.

Market in the Meadow will be held November 7 and 8 at Forest Meadow, 9373 Whitehurst. Regular shopping runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
