| American Typists are Swinging! |
 |
| New addition in my art studio..... |
 |
| This beauty moved in on my birthday -- extra wide carriage and SCRIPT keys. Swoon. I think this one looks like it just rolled onto the showroom floor. Someone either didn't use it much or took really, really good care of it. I am in love. I bought these large joss paper sheets a while back thinking I could type on them and they wouldn't fit into my Royale typewriters carriage.... |
 |
| Well, they sure fit in this one! Having great fun typing jumbo letters.... |
 |
| Have you noticed how red and black just seems to go so well with typing? And I bet this babe knows all the tricks. |
 |
| Tricks like how to clean your typewriter....and where to buy ribbons.... |

| World's greatest Typists are mostly MEN? HA I'd put my mom up against any of them. And I'm a pretty fast two fingered typist myself. I refused to take any typing classes in high school because no way was I going to work as a secretary. But now that I think of it, playing with typewriters and rubber stamps and office products might have been a lot of fun..... |

| Funny, someone in a shop recently told me, ten years ago he "couldn't give a typewriter away" and now they are all the rage. Well, among the mail art and letter writing crowd that is. Fabulous Photos of Typewriters Back in the Day Be sure to click this link and see some absolutely beautiful vintage photos of typewriters. Lovely blog too. Leave a comment for my friend Abraham if you like the typewriter photos. Tell him I sent you. And, if you look closely at the photos you'll see my Smith Corona Classic 12 -- with the extra wide carriage in one of the photos. Could that one be mine? |

| There is just something so comforting about a typewriter, don't you think? A Typewriter Book to put on your Wish List Here's another link to click -- UpperCase Magazine is going to put out a book all about our favorite machines. You won't want to miss it. I already sent in my contribution. And I hope you already know about UpperCase. Well, time to go back to typing....I can't seem to tear myself away. My husband keeps laughing and calling me "Miss Steno Pool". I've been called worse. How many of you have typewriters? SEND GOOD MAIL --- GET GOOD MAIL |
