Retro Typewriter

When I was in high school I took a steno/typing class.  Even though I was tracking to go to college, I decided to fill in my empty spots with these courses.  I LOVED typing and my parents gave me my first typewriter for Christmas.  It wasn't this one, but I've loved these machines ever since.

After I relocated to Texas I spent some years looking in the antique shops to see if I could find a typewriter for a decent price and in decent condition.  About a year ago I came across this one.

It was $19.95 and it had a carrying case with it.

I couldn't resist, so I bought it.  I need to get a new ribbon for it, otherwise it's in perfect condition.

I didn't do much today.  Played pickle-ball all morning, then to the grocery store~~I still can't believe the price of groceries!!!

Then home where I haven't done one constructive thing all day.  Oh well.

Three photos down, 362 to go.  

 I feel like Julie in "Julia and Julie" when Julie decided to work her way through the Julia Childs cookbook, blogging about how she's doing.

I need to find a list of photo subjects to keep me going. 

Have a great weekend!

Paper Flowers

I'm visiting a friend who is one of the most creative people I know.  A while back she decided she wanted to make paper flowers and try to sell them.  

The flowers she makes are just plain beautiful, all kinds, all sizes, different colors.  While she was out of the house the other day, I grabbed a few and took some pics.  This is just a sampling of the gorgeous work she does.

My heart is grateful for:

other creatives from whom I get inspiration
