    Blue Typewriter Love

    Published by Pam Kessler | 77 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 26 Comments

    I had a fun thrifting week. Found this old 1970's Omega 30 typewriter sitting all alone on the thrift store shelf.

    Such a pretty color.

    Plus, it came with the top cover (the ditsy photographer forgot to take a photo of it snapped into place) which makes it highly portable and ready for a road trip.

    Sure, it's not as portable as the new iPad, but it has more character.

    Now where's the camera on this thing?

      Oh adorable, we used to have a little old green typewriter from the '50's who knew I would wish I had kept it!
      So many things I allowed to slip through my hands.........

      My parents gave me a portable typewriter when I started college, then took it back when I graduated and gave it to my younger brother to use during his college years! To this day I'm not happy about having to give up what I thought was MY typewriter!

      I used manual typewriters more than anything else for years. However, I never had a pretty blue portable.
