first off, this delightful typewriter. in brilliant shape. a beautiful silvery pale turquoisey blue. works like a charm. even has the case with key. and only 7 bucks! wahoo! i'll use it for scrapbooking and ransom notes.
and these beeeeaaautiful books. complete with that musty old book smell. i would have paid extra! i've been keeping my eye out for oldish books with spines in a variety of colors. and if i can find one with a title that i find humorous (ie the art of cheese cookery) or have a personal connection with (ie copper kings of montana), all the better. in my current collection are a few science books that make me think of wyatt and the boys, a little book about love i've had since a child, a synonym-antonym-homonym book and an old basal reader that hints to my english/education roots as well as books with other connections that make me happy. and of course, a couple of heloise books. because i am so into cleaning house, don't you know.
and what will i do with these books, you ask? well, we'll see. as i dream of rennovating my living room, i picture these grouped on a bookcase somewhere with a few white milk glass type pieces placed about. when they do find a somewhat permanent place in my home, i'll share, ok?
