I found a gorgeous old typewriter recently, and was hoping I could make it at least somewhat functional again--but it's no good. The internals are all so badly rusted that they crumble when you touch them, but the outside still looks great. It's way, way past the point of ever functioning ever again, more's the pity. So I'm going to make a succulent planter out of that--with real succulents. :D This post was fantastic: thank you for the great idea!

In reply to Kari Wagner Hoban. You HAVE to have a typewriter. It would make writing your movie manuscript so much easier!

In reply to Dana. Check the thrift stores. I have never paid more than $20 for one and the blue one I have from the 70's was $5.99 I think. A couple of my local thrifts have started marking them up, but the smaller thrifts still don't understand people collect them, so they price them to get rid of them :)

In reply to Rhonda. That's a great idea! I try to stay out of Dollar Tree though. I go in for a couple things and leave $40 later!

In reply to Ann. I didn't even know they made green ones until I ran across that one!

In reply to Kristin salazar. Right? I overwintered a huge pot of succulents I had on my porch last summer, but it's looking a bit sparse right about now. I think I'll add some faux ones in to fill it back up!

In reply to Kathy A. I have a LOT of real houseplants, but I do love these new-fangled faux succulents. They're much easier to care for than the real ones!

In reply to Diane. I cannot even imagine typing on one with no letters. I would be lost. Even in typing class I always snuck a peek at the letters every once in a while :)
