Give me a home among the gum trees

Browsing items near and far on gumtree had not yet yielded any results until the other day when I almost shouted in delight after reading an ad for typewriters in Drayton - an outer suburb of Toowoomba.

After a bit of an SMS conversation I arranged to go check out what was on offer after work.

This is what greeted me.

Need I say more?!

Vintage pink typewriters are EXTREMELY rare and I'm guessing Sophie over at Her Library Adventures is going to be a wee bit jealous as thrifting a pink typewriter comes in at number 46 on her life to-do list.

The larger Remington one didn't grab me as much but I decided to get it as I missed out on a beautiful one on ebay a couple of weeks ago and felt I needed to fill the void.

This was the ebay one. It sold for $36.05. I think my max bid was $35.00. BOO

Some more images.

Both available for hire!
