Anyone else obsessed with vintage Christmas ornaments? I already own more than I need for my pink tree thanks to my local thrift shops and holiday markets, but I can't help but comb my favorite Etsy shops for new-old-finds each year. I've saved what feels like a zillion Etsy Christmas ornaments and decor the past few weeks, and thought it would be fun to share them with those on the hunt for festive and sustainable adornments of their own!

13 Perfect Etsy Gifts from My Own Wishlist

Love Anthropologie Home Décor? Try These Ethical & Sustainable Alternatives

12 Sustainable Wrap Jumpsuits for Frolicking in This Summer
Hope you like linen. When jumpsuits first came back into fashion a few years ago, I was unabashedly not on board. For one, I am very short. Two, I have to pee all the time. It just seemed complicated. But I've since grown a little less apprehensive, especially after seeing how versatile they can be, and that most of the ones I really covet are wrap jumpsuits made of sustainable fabrics like linen and Tencel. I just won't hydrate those days. (Kidding.) It's no surprise that when searching for ... Read More
12 Handmade Raffia Shoes I’m Obsessing Over Right Now
Summer is upon us—the atmospheric river that wiped out power across Seattle early this week is just about dried up, anyway—and my feet are ready for something more warm weather friendly. I wear sneakers 99% of the time, as I walk just about everywhere I go, so I don't have many options (except my approximately eight year old flip-flops that are best suited for lounging beside me on the beach). Enter, Etsy! Etsy always has unique finds, whether it's beach kaftans or sun hats, but they make it ... Read More
Where To Buy Recycled Outdoor Rugs
Welp, it's the first 78 degree day of the year in Seattle and I'm clearing my balcony of all the debris (and spider webs) that gathered over the last 7 months of underuse. Balcony season is here! We've shared many a sustainable rug guide here on eco club, from where to buy ethically made rugs to these beautiful Etsy rugs, but this is our first time looking specifically at the outdoor variety. Recycled outdoor rugs are actually much easier to come by than their indoor-only counterparts, mostly ... Read More
