Not Quite Vintage by Brook Owens (Brookowens.etsy.com)

Hey Dolls! 

I have spent my life loving all things vintage. My crafts and every day life have been inspired by the 40's & 50's look, leading to my " Not Quite Vintage" life. A little bit of modern with the nostalgia of a vintage look. Spice up the vixen in you and get dolled up!! I live in Southern California and I am a licensed cosmetologist. I love Rock-a-Billy music and any music from the 1930's-1960's you will see that my crafts may reflect that. I have been crafting since I can remember! My favorite crafts for the moment are, knitting, crocheting, embroidering! All of my crafting has been taught to me by my grandma. I hope you take a look around, I am just starting out so bear with me! I have some wonderful Ideas and can't wait to list them!!!

VoZ Clothing and Art by Jackie Sepulveda (Vozclothingandart.etsy.com)
Everything is hand painted in my sweatshop of one (well except for the graffiti bangles- those aren't painted :p ). I scour my area for the best vintage clutches and forgotten goods and give them new life by painting them up. I love me some: socially conscious hip hop, punk attitudes, graffiti greats like Dondi, Basquiat, sarcastic humor, revolutionary spirits, southern california, tattoo flash and the countless shark documentaries that I watch (don't ask me why)...
 

Justice not Revenge by Melissa Loschy (MelissaLoschy.etsy.com)

Graphic Designer, Apparel Designer, Studio artist. Chapman University Graduate. World Traveler. I've lived in Southern California all of my life, but Ever since I caught the travel bug after backpacking in Europe, I can't stay still! I get inspiration from everything: driving in my car on the freeway, to watching the sunset while leaving the art gallery that I work at in Laguna Beach. I try to surround myself with wonderful people and thats how I get inspired to make my pieces. I'm also inspired by the social circumstances and implications of our world. I try to intertwine positive messages and quotes into many of my bags and apparel items. I have great faith in humanity and I hope to represent that in my socially charged art.
 

Tacos 'n' Eggrolls Jewelry by Nina Brito (Tacosneggrolls.etsy.com)
Well, Basically, I love EVERYTHING handmade. I like to carry through my own personal style which may not please everyone, but how boring would the world be if everyone loved the same things? Diversity makes the world go round. If you're style meshes with mine... hopefully, you can find a treasure on my little shop here. I love to create with color, texture and energy. Have fun looking around!
