I speak of Fort Worth, TX.
A city otherwise full of hospitality and friendly folks. Each place we ate at had amazing service with a smile and they were all curious where the ladies with the orange bags came from. The National Art Education Association convention took place in Fort Worth this year. A city filled with our large orange bags to snag all of the free swag from art supply vendors covered the town along with free cowboy hats from Michaels that were decorated with Texas glitz and glam. With the colorful rhinestones decorating these hats, you could see the teachers from a mile away.
The morning we found this awesome little shop we were on our way to find a cafe to finish up our last minute presentations. Yes, even teachers are sometimes unprepared. (sshhhhhh!!!) The night before we rolled in to our hotel late and unpacked the car and ding dong me left the interior light on so AAA got a silly phone call from me in the morning. Ooopsie. After the jump we had to drive around for an hr to charge it up again and came across Hale House Vintage.
A cute and tiny little shop that jumps out at you.
When you live in Texas, you see these beauties all over the place. You can't help but stop to take a peek inside and then all of your gypsy blood starts boiling and you want to hop in and travel the US tucked in this cozy little slice of heaven. Shiny. SO shiny. (Also, not for sale...boo)
One of my life goals is to own a sign like this. Not sure if I want it to say something snarky or simple. I just LOVE these!!!!
Love this color. Love the memories these chairs bring back. Love the rust.
If you are in Fort Worth, stop by Hale House Vintage and say hi to Bekah Hale, the owner.
She will greet you with a lovely smile and share some amazing spots to see in the city.
(you will see where we ended up in the next blog post)
The shop also carries a few little Fartsy Arts pieces!!
I am proud to be a part of such an amazing store!

ReplyDeleteMy daughter was driving and I was taking a photo of the Harley Ave street sign (grand-puppies name) and the plane caught my eye.. we were too far down the street before I realized exactly what I had seen and how far from Grapevine we were ! I agree.. the turquoise plane does catch the eye and also agree about the driving here ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Fort Worth.
