Etsy Love: Apache Moon

The Etsy shop Apache Moon has a wonderful mission: 100% of every sale goes to animal rescue and sanctuary.  Based out of Texas and owned by Verge and Nita, Apache Moon makes beautiful handcrafted jewelry, all to support rescued animals.  Once I found their shop, I knew I would find as many opportunities as possible to support their work.  I've already purchased this for myself:

Infinity Ring

And these for a couple of friends for Christmas:

Garnet Earrings

 

Baltic Amber Ring

Their tagline is "Jewelry for the joy of it! 100% to rescued animals" and I love that at the end of each listing, there is a picture of a sweet little cat.  Also, most of their materials are recycled! 

The couple explain in an excerpt from their shop site:

"100% of our profits benefit charity. For example, as members of Team EFA, Etsy for Animals, a portion of our profits get donated to animal charities such as WSPA in both Japan & Haiti, SPCA, World Wildlife, Sierra and the rest goes to support our own large family of rescues - currently 41 animals plus a feral cat colony which we spay, neuter and feed. We also donate to other charities such as the United Nations World Food Programme for Somalia."

Plus, the jewelry is just so lovely, it's hard to resist.

So Charming

I've been thinking a lot about lockets lately: I love the idea of putting a picture or a lock of my darling's hair in one.  I think it must be a fantastic gift for new moms as well, and Mother's Day is just around the corner!  Here are some beautiful lockets from Etsy.

Do you have a locket?  What do you keep inside?

Vintage Style: Bonnie Parker

Or rather Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker!  This is one of my favorite movies: I love the whole look and feel of it, especially Faye's costumes.  They are so chic and effortless, and look surprisingly easy to escape in, ha ha.  (The gunslinger attitude helps, of course.)

So in the vein of Lucky Magazine's "Get the Look" series, I scoured Etsy for some finds that would make Faye- and Bonnie- proud.  

 

The gun is actually a belt buckle!  Hilarious.  And awesome. 

Etsy Love

Isn't Etsy an amzing site?  I would spend hours (and a fortune!) on there every day if I could.  Here are some amazing Etsy finds...some that I've purchased, and some that I haven't:)

Some say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but Emeralds are my favorite.  I love the Edwardian style of this ring.

I adore this 1930's day dress: it's feminine without being too precious.

How cheery is this bright yellow wiggle dress?  I wish I had gotten to it first:(

Alas, these shoes were too small for me, but I'm sure they found a good home!

My amazing mother got me this bracelet for Christmas...

...and this one I bought!

Too cute.

I can't wait to get my prescription put into these glasses!
