When Typewriters Are Like Buses


Hello my dears, I hope that the day is finding you well. We have a strange phenomenon here today, it's sunny! I hope it's the same where you are.


This week I'm going to share with you some of my finds from over the summer. I have a mental list of things that I and the family should look out for. I did have a written list but of course it got lost. Anyhow one of the things at the top of said list is a vintage typewriter. I love letters that have been typewritten and I know you can do similar on a PC but it's just not the same. So for months we were on the lookout but either didn't find any or when we did the seller would be asking ridiculous amounts of money.

Over the summer however we struck lucky. We decided to go to a town that we had never been to before and lo and behold there in a lovely charity shop we unearthed not one typewriter but TWO! Oh the excitement, we were chuffed to bits. The following week we went back again and you wouldn't believe it but yes, there was another one. So now we have not one typewriter but three!

Around here we have a saying that goes something like..... You wait ages for a bus then three come along all at once. That is what happened us with these lovelies......








Have found any great items lately?
