The STUDIO Premiere Party Presented by amazon

You’re invited to an exclusive first look at The STUDIO at our Opening Night Premiere Party celebration, Dwell with Dignity's largest annual fundraiser. Join us on April 9th from 7:00–9:00 PM, with a special VIP & Host Committee Hour from 6:00–7:00 PM, and shop the collection before doors open to the public. Be the first to discover deeply discounted, designer furnishings and décor, all while making a meaningful impact. The STUDIO (formerly Thrift Studio) is more than a shopping event. As Dwell with Dignity’s flagship fundraiser, it provides one-third of the operating revenue that powers our mission. Through thoughtful interior design, we provide the stability, comfort and pride needed to change the course of the lives of the families we serve. Your presence and participation make this work possible. We would be honored to celebrate the evening with you. RSVP here.

38th Annual Mad Hatter’s Tea

 Mad Hatter’s Tea chairs Reagan Pace and Sheridan Reeder gave two clues about the upcoming tea’s theme in the invitation’s design featuring Andy Warhol’s pop art and location of the Reveal Party: The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University. Art!

Chaired by Kristen Kocis and Rosie Shahkarami, the event began as partygoers filled the room and enjoyed wine, champagne and hors d’oeuvres while discovering who was working on which committee and exchanging stories about past Mad Hatter’s events and speculating on the theme of the 2026 event.

When the time came for the big reveals, Reagan and Sheridan first thanked Kristen and Rosie for chairing this evening’s event and sponsors Vestals Catering, The T Shop Lakewood for the florals, Susie Kwiatkowski, Susie HK Fine Art for the original artwork and Beth Dunham, Dunham Designs for the logo design.  As a big surprise, they revealed that Jan Strimple will be returning to produce the fashion show, as she has done for the past many years.

Then came the big reveal!  The theme is The Art of the Garden. 

The chairs then had a final surprise to reveal, Anne Stodghill, a former Mad Hatter’s Tea co-chair and longtime Women’s Council supporter, was announced as honorary chair. Paige Elliott is president of the Women’s Council.

The 38th Annual Mad Hatter’s Tea happens on Friday, April 24, 2026 at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.
