Fartsy Arts: airstream

This LARGE turquoise plane would catch your eye too, right? Well, not only was it this huge plane that had me U-turn my car around in a city that in my opinion, is REALLY scary to drive in. Maybe it has something to do with me being super protective of the newest car I have ever owned, or maybe it was the time I tried to switch lanes (with my blinker on) and had a horn honked at me for literally 10 seconds.

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)
