Inspired: Typewriter

I’m solidly a computer girl. But I do love the sounds and textures of a typewriter. Back in my intern days, I spent many an hour addressing envelopes with an 1980’s electric typewriter and wishing it came with a Ctrl-Z function.

This beauty is from Sundance’s new collection of refurbished vintage typewriters available for $700 a pop. It comes with the original manual and a roll of ribbon.

(PS: Not that I was an intern in the 80’s, it was circa Y2K but an old fashioned office)

This love is perhaps the result of deep memory. You spent many hours of your infancy in close proximity to my friend the IBM Selectric II

I love Ctrl options! Perhaps a result of my left-handed self encountering right handed mice (mouses?)

P.P.S. Yeah sure, Grandma; we know you really wrote everything out with your quill.

Ha, ha – way to support your peeps! The typewriters are very cool, but check out the vintage cameras. Rob would love. I’d like the vintage jukebox we have, or maybe the Caddie!
