Thrifty Thursday


When I saw this in the thrift store the other day, I thought it would be the perfect suitcase for doll clothes. (I've been looking for one). But when I opened it, I discovered it wasn't a suitcase. When I opened it...I discovered....


this....



a vintage typewriter! And it's kinda small. I saw a blog post recently (of course I can't remember what blog) about using a vintage typewriter as a toy for children. How cool! I've seen a few typewriters in thrift stores but they're usually very large and are about $30. This baby had a price tag of $10 and I got the store clerk to give it to me for $5. Now that's cool.

I wonder where this was in its former life? I wonder what words or letters or books were typed with it? I'm tucking it away as a Christmas present for Taylor. Maybe between now and then I can find a suitable typewriter ribbon for it.
