About ARTchaeology

On Etsy since 2008

From me and mom to you with LOVE! “Keep it out of the landfill; utilize it and pass it on.”

Shop members

  • Lisa Marie Bruno

    Owner, Maker, Designer, Historic Fashionista

    Working on films & plays, designing costume, garments & accessories, as I've aged & matured I realized there was a serious need for my traditional-style way of designing. So, for the past 12 years I have also turned to educating in the fashion field.

  • Lorraine Thornton-Bruno

    My Mother & Inspiration

    My mother was an artist in her own right. Her business was creating miniatures for dollhouses. She is no longer with us but because of her love & encouragment I am the artist & entrepenuer I am today.

  • Giuseppe Bruno

    Transportation Manager

    After mom passed I hired dad to help me. One day I asked him to take the Pgh Pirate baseball team's new mascot costume to them. He asked for the P.O. form. I didn't have one, I wasn't thinking, but thanks to dad's trucking background he was thinking!

  • Matt Hefferin

    Customer Service, Marketer, Sales Associate

    I met Matt yrs ago, saw he had a degree in history & asked for help. He helps identify vintage items, research timelines, & vends @ vintage sales ie: Heinz History Ctr events, Vintage Mixers & more. He's helpful & funny so I keep him on staff.

Production partners

  • C.L.A.S.S. Fashion Students

    Pittsburgh, PA

    When I'm not creating, I'm teaching. Pittsburgh is the home of Mr Rogers & my special abilities students helped me make these pins for a WQED event. My class used our new Tecre machine to create these badges as part of their life skills learning. They'll receive a portion of the profits after costs.
