It made my day

You know how I said yesterday that it had been more than a week since I stopped by a thrift shop?  Well, just writing that made me think that it wouldn't hurt to just pop in for a quick stop while out doing other errands in the same area.  So that is what I did - to hell with resolutions such as waiting until the bigger antique booth is available. 

True love at last

And guess what - there it was! A lovely aqua typewriter, exactly like I have been looking for for years!  I have never found a decent typewriter out in the wild, and I often sigh when reading about them turning up seemingly everywhere for other vintage-loving bloggers.  Mine had just been put on the shelf - with a price sticker of $9.99, which is normally well above my flinch point when shopping at Goodwill - but it was perfect!  It even works.  So what if there was no case.  It's the typewriter I want!  Now, I know this should go in my booth, but I sure am going to enjoy it for awhile at home before then.  If only there was a way to type up a blog post on it...

Have you found the one thing you have been looking for when you were not supposed to be shopping at all?
