We love artists who use found objects. It just seems so cool, to scavenge the globe for things and to then create something (beautiful) with them. Black Sheep Designs jewelry features a mix of colorful vintage beads, tokens, coins and other found objects. There is an interesting balance of shape and color in her work, often with various metals and textures – like the “Patina” collection, full of weathered metals that look like they have stood the test of time. We are especially enamored of the “Junque Drawer” collection, particularly because we love old coins (and Boston T tokens!). The jewelry designs change often, and many are one of a kind, so we advise you to snatch up some of these found objects!
ENIVABLE PERK: Unique handcrafted jewelry with a vintage feel.
Use something found.

AHHH!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE VENDER AT SOWA!! I <3 <3 <3 her jewelry. The necklace I own is one of the Veteran tags and I *always* get questions and compliments on it! <3 <3 <3 As for vintage style, anything art deco is super fabulous in my mind.
Clearly I couldn’t be more overjoyed by this post!! I adore Black Sheep Designs and always check out her new stuff at SOWA
It’s funny you mention Kimmy’s love of saddle shoes as I’ve been on a search for a pair of pink and white ones lately. In addition, I love vintage style bathing suits. Perhaps it’s because women were curvier, but they look classic and flatter better than any other style. Clearly I’ve been on a recent hunt for a bathing suit so it’s on my mind…lol!
love vintage style dresses
I am so excited for this giveaway! What beautiful designs! I hope this counts as a vintage style but I love vintage up-dos like pin curls. There is something so classic and elegant about it that I can never quite seem to pull off which makes it that much more dazzling when I see it on others!

I absolutely adore all things vintage…hairstyles, dresses, jewelry, you name it! I often find myself especially drawn to vintage items that aren’t pristine, but instead look like they have a story behind them–some character or history, for lack of a better way to say it.
(Especially when it comes to jewelry, accessories, and the like.)
Wow…what an awesome feature! Thanks so much, Ash & Kimmy…and all you posters, too. xo

I love anything that looks tatted or crocheted. I am always drawn to it.
Gosh, I don’t know what I’m specifically drawn to. Some vintage makes me cringe, but some I adore. I really think it’s just piece by piece.
