But I'm back now - after some construction and financial complications, I have resurrected myself and have returned to get this show back on the road!
Our newest item up for discussion, is a fabulous vintage typewriter!!
Who knew this piece would be so well adored by EVERYONE who laid their eyes on her.
Stopped in at my local Goodwill (I LOVE to support the community and pick up great deals!) and once I saw this magnificant piece of technology, I knew I needed it.
At first, I played around with her, pressing all the keys. *click-click* Then of course, I was distracted by the barage of books (the main reason why I stopped in was to gather some great gardening books). After 10 minutes, I couldn't stop looking over to the typewriter.
I then noticed it was 'electric' - Of course, I whipped out the cable and plugged it in. Bessie, at that moment I gave her a name, was alive!
My daughter smiled with glee - She too realized the machine was beating with life.
Hauling the heavy (Bessie was much heavier than I imagined) device to the front counter along with a Rock Garden Design Book, a book from Stephen King, AND my daughter, I received looks from other patrons wondering "WTF?"
I gave the nice lady my ATM card for a total of $30 and went on my merrily way. I was super excited and couldn't wait to take her home.
Now, she'll need some love - So I'm off to research replacement carterages and a user manual.
Another fabulous find!
Until next time!!!
