For some unknown reason, I am drawn to vintage typewriters. I've seen it so many times on blogs and there's this mysterious/whimsical factor that tinkles my nerves everytime I see one. Maybe because I am a book fan (hard copies all the way) and I do think that old fashioned typewriters produce one of the most beautiful fonts.
This past Sunday girl friend T and I were rumbling through an older neighbourhood searching for a peaceful little coffee shop to spend our afternoon. I insisted that we take a walk down the antique street and I've found, for the first time, an rusty typewriter! I did not go up to the owner only because the machine was so beaten up I was convinced that certain keys would fall off anytime. And it was in a gloomy shade of gray.
A dream typewrite would be something like the image below. The mint green is so calming. I wonder if they ever came out with a peachy version of it.

Not purchasing any until I find the right one!
