I am Betty Crafter – lover and collector of vintage and especially vintage crafts! It started with purses, then clothes, then home furnishings. I couldn’t be stopped! Before I knew what had happened to me I was slinging vintage in my own shop and blogging about my adventures. Now, safely retired from the hustle of being a dealer, I happily amuse myself collecting vintage ice cream signs, thrifting vintage craft supplies, sewing my own clothes from vintage patterns, and creweling everything I can get my hands on.

You can find my vintage inspired crewel kits in my etsy store.

You can email me at betty@bettycrafter.com.

    Hi Betty: I just found a cute wooden Enid Collins purse at a flea. I needed some rhinestones and found what I needed on Ebay. Now I have a question and hope you can help! My box purse shows some staining plus where the rhinestones are missing, there is old glue glob. Do you have an idea on how I should clean this purse and remove the glue globs? Also, would you recommend a certain glue to replace the stones?
    Thank you so much for any help you can give me!! I love your blog.

      Hi Roxy! Congrats on your find! As for gluing on your new replacement beads, I would use Alene’s Tacky Glue. That’s usually my go-to craft glue. As for removing the old glue globs, I would try to gently pry them off with a butter knife. Be super careful though so you don’t take any of the paint off! Good luck!

    Hello Betty,

    I just started to learn embroidery and am super excited to get my hands on a cool project. I have loved the Try A Little Kindness embroidery for a lonf time now but I haven’t been able to lay my hands on one.Would you be willing to sell me the instructions and chart that was included in your kit?

    Thanks!

    Hello Betty!

    I’m a fellow embroidery nut, I was wondering if you would sell me the instructions for the try a little kindness kit you completed?

    Thanks!

      Hey Danielle!
      I’ve actually got plans to make a variation of the Try A Little Kindness piece! I’m currently working on God Bless Our Pad, but stay tuned in the future!
