modern vintage

as a member of the Etsy Veg Team [a group of vegetarian and vegan artists on Etsy], i am constantly browsing the Crafty Veggie Marketplace for new shops to drool over. i am always happy to support someone who has similar interests and beliefs, especially when it comes down to the ethical treatment of animals. ♡ many of the artisans on the team are environmentally-friendly and use organic and sustainable practices when creating their wares, food, beauty products, etc.

one of my new favorites, Seahag and Walrus, is a gorgeous shop full of one-of-a-kind jewelry created mainly from vintage and found items. silver, brass, glass, faux grass?!, and fun charms light up my eyes - modern beauty at its finest. i absolutely love the use of asymmetry and industrial elements as i am constantly on the hunt for something that will stand out amongst the everyday trends. everything is affordable too - nothing over $50! now that's my kind of shopping.

below are a few of my favorite items from the shop [yeah, yeah, i couldn't pick just ONE find], check them out and show your love!
