Vintage Retro bliss...

I bought this vintage Petite Typewriter a few years ago. I found it on Ebay through a charity raising money for a hospice. It came in a cute original Petite case and had some ribbon still intact!

I opened the case a week or so ago and the girls were totally fascinated by this piece of history! Loved typing on it and cannot believe that people actually wrote books on it, as Izzy exclaimed to me, LOL. I then had to come clean and say that prior to this it was  pen and paper!!!! LOL

I couldn't help myself take a few Hipstamatic photos of Izzy tip tapping away!

remember the PING noise!
from a 1 finger typepist


to 2 fingers!



Looking forward to catching up on some creating this weekend, and hoping for a dry warmish Sunday so i can crack on in my poor neglected garden!

Have a wonderful Saturday!
Thanks for stopping by
