Giving orphaned photos and paper ephemera new life

BettywasaBombshell is our third Etsy shop. We picked up the estate sale habit in 2011 and started our first Etsy shop - VintageCoolETC selling a wide variety of vintage items from barware to jewelry to paper ephemera and everything in between. We love it. The hunt for that perfect little treasure that might be lost but really belongs to someone out there in the world. Giving new life to old stuff is our pleasure. One of our weaknesses is vintage vinyl records and we soon found ourselves with over 800 vintage record albums. And then our 2nd Etsy Shop was born - VintageCoolRecords in 2014. We soon found another item that we couldn't resist - vintage photos and paper ephemera. Most of which were no doubt headed to the trash can, so we swoop in and save what we can when we can. These vintage photo treasures gave us the inspiration to start our BettywasaBombshell shop. Named after Grandma Betty, who really was a Bombshell in her day. We hope that you'll find something that makes you smile.
