Been A While....

Well it has definitely been a while since I have stepped foot on this little blog page.  We have now been open 8 years!  I can’t believe how much time has passed, it seems like just yesterday I was getting the shop ready to open up.  

WE MADE IT THROUGH 2020!! 

But... 2021 has been a little tough for us here.  Firstly my personal facebook page got hacked and then disabled at the same time.  I have since June 6th not been able to get back into it.  So now you can find me as “Marie” (my middle name) not Anna haha!  I will hopefully be able to change that back soon.  But.... since I lost my old account I now also cannot get into the Betty’s facebook page.  If anyone has tried to contact me through there, send me an email at [email protected].  I have thankfully been able to keep everyone updated through my instagram page and it is (so far) connected to facebook.  

On a fun note:  Our website is now up and running!  So you can find all of the good stuff at www.BettysArsenal.com. 

Hope to see you all soon!

Well it is Christmas Eve Eve... I just wanted to write a little something on here to say thank you to you all!  My amazing customers this year.... Thank you for continuing to support Betty’s and allowing me to do what I absolutely love!  You are the best.

 I thought I would share with you all some funny vintage advertisements for “gift ideas” Hahaha!

Back....

Ok... So I know that it has been a while... 

We are now BACK to being open on Mondays!  I have decided that sleep and extra days to “lay around” are not needed.  Hahaha!  No I just love you all so much and want to see you an extra day during the week!  Can’t wait to see ya this Monday!

We are ready for Spring to be here already!!  It's snowing again in good ol' Morris IL.  I am currently dreaming of warm weather and flowers.  Just cannot wait to get into all of my Spring clothes!  Maxi Dresses, Cropped Pants and T Shirts Oh MY!!!   :)

Well The Time Has Come...

I have finally rescued this lovely 1966 Shasta camper trailer from what looks like the wilderness.  Don't worry, it is now sitting safely in my driveway.  I cannot wait to get started on this project and be able to use it in the Spring and Summer and let everyone enjoy it at the shows next year!  I will try to keep everyone updated on my progress through the whole renovation so you can see it brighten up before our eyes!

Mobile Shops.....

We all know that mobile shops are all the rage right now...

          I have been on the lookout for a while now for a vintage trailer and it looks as though I may have found one.  A 1966 Shasta, white with a red stripe through the middle.  This will definitely be a project, but why not right?  Do I set this up as a mobile shop and travel around the area with it?  Do I just use it for special events and fairs?? So many decisions to make.  Would anyone like to see a mobile Betty's come to them??  Let me know your opinion.

Sunday Nights....

What to do on a lazy Sunday night??? Just daydreaming about blogs and websites and all kinds of possibilities.  Should I make a more in depth blog? Should I start selling online?  Should I try to post more on Twitter and Instagram?  Should I try different avenues other than these for selling??  I have a feeling that the answer is yes to all of these.  OK I am going to get right on top of that!!!  After Monday is over! :)

leak...

Well it looks like all of the rest of the photos from the photo shoot that we did got leaked so I will upload all of the rest of them for you all to see.  I was planning on keeping these and using them throughout the rest of the season but they are already all out now so there is no reason to hold onto anything.  Will not get to use these now for any fun promos or anything.  Kinda disappointing...
