Mercantile was founded by Fort Worth businessman and philanthropist Holt Hickman, opening their doors in March of 2007. Originally starting as a traditional antique mall, this open-air marketplace, now known as “The Mercantile,” has evolved into a real mercan- tile that offers over 200 dealer booths with an impressive collection of gifts, home décor, antiques, fashion, furniture and more under one roof. This one-stop shop is the perfect place to do all of your holiday shopping, a place where you can shop and eat, and may not see everything in one day. It’s also a perfect place to buy a gift for the Millennial in your life. They also added two men’s stores for the picky man in your life. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10-6 p.m. and Sunday, 12-6 p.m. They also have an outstand- ing Rose Garden Tearoom, a traditional tearoom that serves everything from fantas- tic quiche and spicy southern crepes to fruit with poppy seed dressing. Round out your expe- rience by drinking some hot English tea or their unique iced rose tea. Days of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and Sunday, 12-3:30 p.m. Remember to bring your kids on Dec. 16 to have photos with Santa. This holiday season, The Mercantile will be giving back to local charities. Bring any non-perishable food or toiletries in to be donated to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. They will also be collecting new, unwrapped toys for the Cowboy’s Santas.  Watch Your Holiday Worries Go Up in FLAMES When your entire family decides to come home for the holidays, who’s going to feed them?
