    Dallas Farmers Market overflows with local gifts everyone will love

    With more than 250 local, family-owned businesses, the Dallas Farmers Market makes it easy to shop local this holiday season. If your "nice list" runs the gamut from family to friends to business colleagues and beyond, you can find exactly the right gift for everyone, all in one place (and stop for a meal, snacks, or drinks while you're shopping).

     

    Because the Dallas Farmers Market is known first and foremost for its delectable food items, expect to discover tasty gifts for every palate — and hope that your recipients share.

     

     Abundantly Aromatic
    Give the gift of relaxation through natural handmade soaps, candles, scents, fragrances, shea butter, salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, bath fizzies, beard products, and, of course, gift vouchers.

     

     Baskets and Quilts by Bless
    Preserve your memories with love through 100-percent handmade quilts, unique T-shirt quilts, and more. The must-see baby quilts that are one of a kind, and monogramming is available upon request.

     

     Carter Mill Soap Company
    These handcrafted body treats are made with skin-loving fruit and nut oils — such as sweet almond oil, rice bran oil, and avocado and hemp seed oils — as well as nourishing butters like shea, kokum, and mango. All the products are made 100 percent by hand from raw, wholesome ingredients, using carefully crafted formulas. They never use pre-made bases or harmful or harsh chemicals.

     

     Charming at The Market
    You can't go wrong with flowers, especially festive floral arrangements and fresh wreaths and garland. Find field-to-vase bouquets, cool gifts, creative workshops, and event planning and florals at the Dallas storefront, which is bursting with everyday floral, easy-to-grab gifts, and charming boutique items — all locally sourced.

     

     Dallas Antique Company
    Show your Lone Star pride with Texas souvenirs and jewelry, along with European antiques, vintage and rustic decor, unique accessories, and more.

     

     Des Patisseries Bakery
    This family-owned and -operated business uses the finest, freshest ingredients to create delicious French-inspired pastries from scratch.

     

     Eko Deko
    Eko Deko's roots began with a desire to build woodworking projects in the most sustainable way possible. The majority of the lumber used to make the shelving, furniture, accent pieces, or wood art is hand-milled from trees knocked down after storms, or salvaged from old barns and buildings. The other items and vintage scores in the shop have been personally hunted and selected to complement each other, or to be that perfect finishing touch.

     

     Folklore & Tradition
    A family-owned company that is devoted to handmade artisan jewelry and clothing, they use organic fabrics and embroider jewelry by hand.

     

     Lone Chimney Mercantile
    This little shop features over 300 bold and colorful images from Dallas, Austin, Waco, Houston, Oklahoma, and many other hot spots, with the option to frame them in 100-year-old window frames. Scope out wares from local makers along with cute succulent displays, handmade jewelry, graphic prints, and more.

     

     Mama Ida shopping bags
    Available on the weekends at the DFM information booth for $35, this durable, waterproof bag is great for picnics, farmers market expeditions, and more — and it's just the right size for a kid to carry, too. This bag is resilient and reusable, so you can help keep single-use bags out of landfills; plus, it's made of natural jute fiber, which generates more oxygen.
     
     Mudhen Meat & Greens
    Swing by for a holiday gift box that includes Mudhen preserves, hot sauce, candles, holiday gifts for hosts (who could resist a "turnip the beet" apron?), and more, or contact events@mudheninthe.net to order in advance or design your own custom creation.

     

     Native Trashion
    At least one component from each of this brand's designs is made from recycled material that is collected or donated, such as wine corks, tree branches, paper, and metal. The other components (chains, clasps, etc.) are purchased from jewelry wholesalers or handmade within the company.

     

     Scardello Artisan Cheese
    Be a cheese rock star this season with a gift box that comes in several different styles, sizes, and filling options, meaning you're sure to find the perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for (or easy-to-buy-for) friend or loved one. Shipping and delivery are also available.

     

     Urban Farmhouse Designs
    The popular Oklahoma City purveyor of reclaimed wood home furnishings and decor recently opened its first location in Texas at the Dallas Farmers Market. Shopping there is an event for the whole family, as it's dog-friendly and boasts a two-story play area for the kids.

     

    These are only a few of the fabulous finds from the Dallas Farmers Market. Head here to glean more inspiration from the complete gift guide, and don't forget about ordering a fruit basket from the Market itself.

     

    Mudhen Meat & Greens gift boxes are great for holiday hosts.

    Speeding ticket news

    Texas drivers pay a pretty price for their speeding bad behavior

    Gotta watch out for speed traps in Texas.

    The next time you’re tempted to push past the speed limit on your Texas road trip or your commute to work, think about the risk to your life — and your bank account.

    A new ranking from the FinanceBuzz website shows that when comparing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Texas motorists pay the fourth highest amount in fines and court costs for going either 10 mph or 15 mph over the speed limit.

    For a 10 mph-over-the-limit violation in Texas, the average fine and court costs total $223, according to FinanceBuzz. For a 15 mph infraction, the average speeding ticket will run you $245. Texas is one of only six states where a 15 mph-over-the-limit speeding ticket surpasses $200.

    California ranks first in the 10 mph category ($234), and Nevada ranks first in the 15 mph category ($290).

    If you’re slapped with a ticket for driving 40 mph over the speed limit in Texas, the fine and court costs are relatively low. At an average of $320, Texas sits at No. 21 on the FinanceBuzz list. Illinois ($2,500) leads the 40 mph category.

    “Not all speeding incidents are the same, as the faster someone goes while driving, the more danger they pose to themselves and others sharing the road with them,” says FinanceBuzz. “As a result, the authorities tend to issue larger fines the faster a speeder is going.”

    When traveling across Texas, it might be tough to go even one mph over the speed limit if you’re driving on I-35 in the Austin area or I-45 in the Houston area. Both of these notoriously congested stretches of interstate highway are nearing the end of their “functional life,” according to Congress of New Urbanism.

    Three busy Dallas County highways were just deemed among the deadliest roads in the country, with I-30 in Dallas ranking as the fourth deadliest road in Texas.

    Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio are also home to some of the state’s most congested roads, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. And if you’re on any of those clogged roads, the danger of getting a speeding ticket might decrease.
