The Happy Gardners
Rainbow Garden Club Tour
Various locations around White Rock Lake
Saturday, October 3; Noon – 6 pm
Stan Aten asks “What do butterflies and the Queen of England have in common?” They are both on this year’s Rainbow Garden Club tour! Okay, okay. That’s a bit of an exaggeration.” However, this year’s tour has plenty of butterflies, English style gardens and more which should be very inspiring after all the recent fabulous rain and the work it has created. If you are at a loss where to get started, first time home buyers will get great advice from the enthusiastic club members. Stan says there is such a variety, it will be like going around the world in 6 hours.
Tickets are available from Brumley’s Gardens, Jackson’s Nursery, Redenta’s Garden Dallas location, Into the Garden, Bruce Miller Nursery Richardson location, North Haven Gardens, Shambhala Body Gallery and Walton’s Nursery. Gardens are located at 5022 Homer, 5942 Ross Ave, 7055 La Vista, 9534 Ash Creek, 9803 Coldwater, 10808 Sharondale and 11007 Cactus Lane.
Guys and Dolls 09
Jones Walker Home
3010 N. Henderson Avenue
Despite the downpour, luck was definitely with the organizers of Guys and Dolls said co-chair Jay Nolen. The annual event which had been held at Uptown Vision the past few years had clearly outgrown that location. Owners of Jones Walker Home; Tony Walker, Max Jones and Mirabel Leon happily agreed to host the event at their in-town store. The furniture gallery moved to Henderson Avenue to roomier digs and ample parking last year from their original location in Uptown next to Primos.
Works by local artists were available in addition to a silent auction. Nolen said “Our event was a huge success and we raised over $22,000 in one night for AIDS Arms. Jones Walker Gallery was an awesome venue.”

Hacienda On Henderson
Grand Opening
Hacienda On Henderson
2326 N. Henderson Ave
Opens Friday, July 31st
Daily from 11 am ” 2 am
Bar guys and restaurateurs Patrick Tetrick, Chris Faulkner of Lotus in Uptown and Miles Zuniga who owns the Slip Inn and Vickery Park have joined forces and hired Executive Chef Mike Dimas to create a traditional Tex-Mex place in the old Cuquita•€(tm)s house built in 1940. Knowing some of you were bummed that Cuquita(tm)s closed, look on the bright side - at least now you can get margaritas, exotic drinks along with traditional cerveza. Don•€(tm)t expect the same low-key vibe though, the owners promise that Hacienda will be high energy with an outdoor patio tucked under a 30 foot shade tree and we(tm)ve no doubt lots of skin will be exposed under the Texas sun.

The Candle Room
Hard to believe its been 6 years since Tommy D (DeAlano) opened his own place, The Candle Room after a long successful run at the old Hard Rock Café in Uptown where many of us first met him. Still passionate about bringing people together Tommy says “we are very fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting and serving so many unique and interesting people from all over the world, and we thank each and every one of you for choosing us time and time again.” Congratulate them by dropping by this week and say hi as they continue the celebration through the weekend!
