FINISHED! JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.

Everything's finished! I'm really happy with the way everything turned out. It's going to be hard to part with Santa, but I know that my Dad will appreciate it.


I had a hard time with the finishing touches on my stocking. I wanted to to be unique and "me". Luckily a couple of friends at work were selling these hand-made flowers from vintage buttons and fabric (loves me not). It was perfect! They're working on getting a storenvy site up. I'll keep you updated.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE HALES!

THINGS I MISS ABOUT TEXAS

boots, leather tooling, pearl snaps, indian art and...
...tough cowboys

All photos I took in Fredricksburg

FREDRICKSBURG, TEXAS

My mom recently moved from Lubbock to Fredricksburg and I got to go spend some time there last weekend. Right now she is living in a barn/guest house. It is a beautiful space.

She made this ornament for me. Learned how to cut glass the other day... no big deal.

I also had to snap a shot of one her whimsicles. This one is prickly pear. Again... beautiful! My mother is so stinkin' talented!

THE CABIN

Aaron and I got to spend a few days over the holiday at this beautiful cabin in Arkansas. It was a great time relaxing and spending time with new family.

JOSH ROSENTHAL & AARON HALE

I had to adapt this poster last minute to fit 11 x 17 dimensions. I decided to do something a little different with the type. See you guys at the show!

NAKUPENDA TANZANIA

a photo I took in Tanzania
Aaron and I have been saving up vacation days to go to Jamaica. His parents booked the trip several months ago and due to the economy we just got word that the trip's off. We were disappointed, but it didn't take us long to think maybe we were saving those days for something else...

Wanna come?
