WOW, looks like the overwhelming majority of people feel I should leave it as is and use it....
So, that's what I'm going to do :)
My youngest son is very pleased about it because he really liked it and thought it was a pretty cool typewriter ~ he'd never seen one!! Kids these days (tee hee hee...sounds like my parents!).
SO, it's gained a stay of execution and will live out it's life in my scrapbook room looking cool and typing whatever I might need. Next ? is finding out a bit more about it so I can buy a ribbon or two.
Next order of business...the Paper Arts gift cert. winner... I'm going to get with C from PA's and see who the winner is :) I'll let you know as soon as I find out!
Did you all have a great Saturday so far? I sure hope so ~ it's cold and blustery here today...a perfect day to stay in, cover up with a blankie and read a good book or watch a nice movie. Going to go do that right now!
Oh thats cool to have an old fashioned typewriter in your craft room. I have a really old brass till, the type with the big buttons that you press down and they ring a little bell. It has a glass top and the amount you press on the buttons comes up on a little flag inside the glass top. Its really , really old, and takes at least 2 people to lift it , its so heavy. But it looks amazing, I really like old things, Jaqi
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are going to let the dear old typewriter have a place in your studio and get used from time to time~that is a bit of history! Beautiful, too! (Yes, I did VOTE...thanks for asking our opinion!).
ReplyDeleteI am glad you decided to keep the typewriter whole. I don't like to see old things broken up if they can be saved and made to work. Much more fun to see them in use as they were originally intened.
