Happy Valentine's Day


We were in Portland last weekend and this silly window display caught my eye. It's amazing how expressive the mannequins are!
 



And... while we were there this is the treasure I acquired. It's a 1970's Smith-Corona ELECTRIC typewriter in mint condition. It is very heavy and oh so beautiful. I thought I was in love with our rice cooker, but I have fickley (is that even a word?) gone to the typewriter side. It makes a very loud typing sound and the nicest hum from the electric. I have already written a couple letters and they are on their way. Are you drooling anyone? Do you want a letter from me? Maybe a bad poem? If you do leave your address  and a comment and I'll send you some snail mail.

Happy Valentine's Day, Janice! I saw that window display last week as I was stuck in traffic on Hawthorne! I wanted to get out of the car and take a picture, but I didn't. I'm glad you did! I love that window display.

I also love your typewriter! So cool! I need to add a new one to my collection soon.
