The buzz was all about the expansive market, its fabulous offerings and the new café!
Donna Arp Weitzman, a well-known community leader on the charity and business scenes and local author, hosted a lovely luncheon benefiting the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden’s board of directors at The Antique Table, Robin Jackson’s new café which just opened inside the Cottonwood Market. Inside scoop: The café is Southern hospitality at its best! Offering a variety of salads, sandwiches, snacks, sweets, and brunch items made fresh daily, as well as specialty coffees, wine, a charcuterie board and fresh-baked pastries. The café is also available for small group meetings.
Located in Richardson at Coit and Belt Line Roads, Cottonwood Market is the perfect destination for all who seek antiques, jewelry (at heavily discounted prices), authenticated designer handbags, scarves and pashminas from Europe, over 1,000 works of art, furnishings, covetable collectibles, exquisite tableware and china from some of Dallas’ most high-profile estates and more.
“We are delighted to welcome everyone to Cottonwood Market,” Donna said, as the ladies sipped wine and enjoyed the lovely luncheon and desserts.
Joining in the luncheon were Leesa Alhadef, Jeannie Nethery, Courtney Rourk, Anne Seanor and more.
As part of her support for the Women’s Council and as underwriting chair for the upcoming A Writer’s Garden, Donna is donating a magnificent sapphire and diamond necklace to the live auction for the November 13th event. As part of today’s luncheon, she also arranged for each purchase of certain items to be discounted 20%, which she and Herb will also match as a donation to the Women’s Council.
Women’s Council president, Therese Rourk, welcomed the crowd and reminded everyone to take a membership packet and share with friends. She introduced Joni Krieg, chair of A Writer’s Garden, who gave a rundown of what to expect at the much-anticipated event, including presentations from two fabulous speakers and authors, Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Stefani Bittner.

As a special surprise, Donna introduced Atin Jain, proprietor of Hari Jewels at Cottonwood Market, who donated an 18-carat gold necklace as a giveaway at today’s event. Mary Ellen Winborn was the lucky winner when she answered a trivia question correctly.
As a parting favor, Donna gifted everyone copies of a couple of her books: Cinderella Has Cellulite and her latest tome, Twisted Retribution: A Sarah Sears Novel, which is part one of a three-part series of books being eyed by Hollywood for a movie.
