Do you ever have one of those Paul on the road to Damascus moments? You know - a life moment that changes everything? I did while I was on Hawthorne in an antique shop and spotted this typewriter. It was one of those things that I was completely magnetized towards - something I really had to have. After looking at it and walking away, checking out the rest of the store, a couple swooped in and started tinkering with it, considering the purchase. After about 15 minutes, the couple decided against it and it became mine. I mean, who doesn't need an orange 1970s German typewriter in immaculate condition? A day or so later, I hopped online to see how much ribbons would be and found out that the $30 vintage find was selling for an average of $500! But I've decided I love it too much to put it up for sale. Yet. (General disclaimer: this wasn't really a Paul on the road to Damascus moment - it was much more carnal and covetous than Paul's experience, but I really do love that little orange thing =)).

You know how the best gift is one you really love? Remember, Mothers day (and a B.day) is coming up.
Love,
Your Mom
P.S. Kidding...Good job, great find.
Your scrapbooking is divine. I'm so envious. I really need to get going on my Japan album!
