Vintage {Love}






Had to put in the fire plug for Dad!
I do love typewriters... I really do + of course I love type, did you notice today's post is in Courier, in memory of the typewriter.
It does not happen often, actually, it never happens anymore, I always loved receiving mail typed on a lovely typewriter.  I love how the typos make it look like someone really typed it... not just a machine auto-correcting your spelling as you go.  I love how once you think something and type those keys it is on the page for all to see. I remember all the government forms I had to do over my career that had errors on them, yes me with errors! You can't edit once you have written - you can only go back and xxxxxx over the words you do not want, leaving obvious scars on your work. Then there was "white out" "yellow out" and even "pink out" for all the carbon sheets. Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I do love typewriters still.
How about you? If you still use one please send us a letter, we love
seeing XXXXX's and you could even add some OOOOO's. Tail wags + Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Antiquated.

an·ti·quat·ed/ˈantiˌkwātid/


Old-fashioned, outdated or obsolete. WOW, I never thought what I do is obsolete! So many         folks ask me about the ages of my Printing Presses so I thought I would introduce you to the           "pretty production princess" of CabinPress Studio. I would like you to meet my Old-fashioned      printing press, Sequoia. She is a beauty indeed, an Old Style Chandler & Price, circa 1884.           She came to us from California, hence the name. D + friends now are "experienced" movers            and I would highly recommend the group for any 1500 pound moving jobs in your future!
If you look close you can see my Periodic Table of Typefaces ... more on that disaster later!
