I collect teacups, and vintage plates, and now I've decided to collect typewriters. I guess typewriters are a bulky thing to collect, and they take up a lot of space - but I love them!
They remind me of old love letters, and I love the dainty yet mechanical look to them.
I only have two so far, and can't wait to collect more! My latest one is this cute blue one that I found at The Krickett's Jewel. My first one is here if you want to check it out. My plan is to eventually get a bookcase with cubbies like this (but with thicker wood and in a natural farmhouse brown color) and put a typewriter in each space, so I am on the lookout for typewriters from different eras in different colors. So much fun!

Typewriters are awesome... where would we be without them?

Love the illustration!
Where I live typewriters are too hard to find and when you do find them they're often "display only". :(
I would love to collect typewriters too. My dad taught me how to type on one. I tried to get one from J-Fur's dad but he refused to part.
I love your idea to put the typewriters in the cubbies of a bookshelf--that would look so cool in a room! What a great way to show off your collection!
I love this! You can never have enough typewriters! Says the girl still on her look out for her first. Although I have to share that I found a lovely old type tray at a flee market on Saturday and had to buy it...some things just can't be passed up! Hope you enjoy the new typewriter Dionne!
Ooh I do love your typewriter!
I can't wait to see your collection :)

Of course, computers have so many advantages . . . but I still miss typewriters. Love your typewriter art.
Do you sell your art anywhere, Dionne?

Dionne! i can only IMAGINE how amazing your collections are! I would love to see them one day (Houston visit?)!
Dionne I love typewriters! That's how I learned how to type 90 words per minute. It is such a cool thing to collect.
So cute!! I like the sound it makes when you're typing. I even added it to my computer keyboard :D
