Looks like a great place to crash out Charlotte.. I like the old typewriter. It’s a great touch. I remember my Dad had one just like it. Can’t imagine using one now, but sitting there like that I guess it would remind you that you are a writer.

I love that old typewriter. Bought it to write letters on but I discovered that it is nearly a full body workout to type on it. You have to press on each key with great force and it is tiring. So now it is just a nice decorative item!

I love love love love this! I also have a typewriter as a part of my decor. LOL. Great minds and people who love words decorate alike, eh?
Charlotte Dixon
Indeed! There is something so appealing about an old typewriter. Computers don’t quite have the same panache.

My mother has an old typewriter like that, that her father used. It must be 80 years old by now. Funny how modern technology gadgets just don’t bring the memories flooding back like the old gadgets.

I think my typewriter is around 80 years old. I do wonder if we’ll be looking fondly at our Macs and Dells 80 years from now. Kinda doubt it.
