Thank you! I do love my typewriter (thank you Mr. Anderson’s 8th grade typing class), but I am not sure my neighbors do. 🙂 I’m a fan off all things library-related.
Absolutely, I visit my library at least once a week- usually with my kiddo in tow. I’ve thought about buying a type writer and looked often at the one in antique shops but have yet to make the jump.
I searched thrift stores for awhile before buying mine. I found a lot that were either pretty but not fully functional or were in working condition but ugly! I ended up getting this one on eBay, which really surprised me. Even with shipping, it was a better deal than what I was finding locally. Because we move every couple of years due to our jobs, it hasn’t happened yet, but I do really want to start a collection of old (pretty!) typewriters and I desperately want a beautiful wooden card catalog chest to use as a piece of furniture. Someday…
Ah that would be so fantastic! I fully understand the moving part. Growing up my family moved nesrly every year and my husband and I continued that tradition until this last year when we finally bought our first home and will settle there for some time, we hope!
So I LOVE this format for a review. So nostalgic! Two thumbs-up!!
