Found It!

My very own, worn and rusty, typewriter.

Is it just me or does she look pretty from every angle?

Awhile back I passed by an old grey Royal at the thrift store because it seemed a bit pricey. It was just like like my letter-writing grandma's, and I heartily regretted it almost immediately.

This weekend I got on Craigslist to look at garage sale adds, which I've only done once or twice. I saw one that listed "antiques" and "vintage" - no listing of a typewriter, but I had an intuition.

Friday morning I loaded up the kiddos as fast as I could manage three little pairs of socks and shoes and followed my map to the sale.

This was the first thing I spotted and I didn't hesitate a moment...to snatch it up and ask for a deal...got her down to $20. Still a good bit, but I was smitten.
