This weeks Melody Monday is inspired by one of my favorite movies. The songs come from the Marie Antoinette soundtrack. This is a must see movie if you love fashion, romance, and fabulous parties!

On Saturday I went to a few garage sales to find more items for my Etsy shop. As I was walking up to the driveway of a house, I spotted this beautiful, very old typewriter. Now, I have always wanted an antique typewriter, so as I walked closer, my heart started beating faster. It was dirty and some of the keys sticked, but I was in love. The original price was $20, but after some bargaining, I took it home for only $15!!! That made my day :)
After doing some research, I found this typewriter is circa 1940's.
Cute blog here! Quite a find with the typewriter! I don't know if I could go back to a typewriter -- my parents held off for as long as possible on buying a computer so I spent far too many hours typing assignments up... A long process! I now love my word processor :-)

Marie Antoinette is one of my favorite movies! And I agree, it has a great soundtrack. That typewriter is amazing as well, good bargaining skills ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the movie, but I've kinda wanted to see it for a while.
ReplyDeleteAlso, awesome find with the typewriter! I love old typewriters, they are so neat. I used to have a big bulky one when I was young, but my parents trashed it. :(
