Hi! My name is Betty and I live in a small town in the mountains of Western Maine.

From the time I was a young girl, I have always loved vintage postcards and ephemera. My mother was an avid postcard collector and I inherited her enthusiasm for them! When I was in grade school, my parents took me to a flea market which was held monthly in the Eagles Hall, where I grew up in Casper, Wyoming. I loved the surreal colors and the settings of old linen-finish postcards and the look of the graphics of vintage ephemera.

Now, the Eagles Hall in Casper has been replaced by the shops on Etsy as my preferred venue for buying these lovely treasures from the past! My beloved collection continues to grow and I love that I can support the community that supports me in return. It has turned everyday ventures to the mailbox into adventures! Which country will appear on the return address on the envelope in my mailbox today? Maybe yours?

I spend countless hours at my laptop and printer, scanning these lovely images and then turning them into collage sheets, printable invitations and printable buntings that can be used for all sorts of creative projects! The sheets I make are ones I would use for my other digital collage projects for my blog and many times I do use these images (along with other digital collage sheets I have bought here on Etsy).

I sometimes think of this shop as a sort of digital department store and I hope you will find images here to inspire your artwork!

These are my other shops here on Etsy:
