Vintage Typewriters Get Around…

My obsession with vintage typewriters is only rivaled by my lust for vintage lamps (oh yes, and vintage fans!).  Many others vintage enthusiasts must feel the same way, as the interesting life cycle of the typewriter is frequently chronicled on Flickr.  From typewriters blossoming in grass fields, operating as “reading” material for the powder room, or even pushed on swings, these cosmopolitan machines find their ways all around the world.  Here are a few of my favorites, along with my complete Ode to Vintage Typewriters!

    Hello Grace, this is a great set! Love the way different people use the typewriter. My favorite is the toilet paper and the swing. : ) Hope you are having a nice week. Ready for the long weekend?

    My favorites are the bathroom and swing shots too…they give the typewriters such life and character. Ah, the long weekend :) I am ready!! I hope you get to relax and enjoy some more beautiful walks at summer dusk :D

    @Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
