Haunted Typewriters Pen a Vintage Halloween

repurposed antique corona no 3 typewriter

Either the spiders in my house are very intelligent or this antique Corona No. 3 typewriter is haunted, churning out typed pages on its own!  What do you think?

The antique typewriter with orange and yellow keys was simply made to be part of a vintage inspired Halloween.  In addition, its petite size turned a fairytale pumpkin into the perfect Halloween desk.

I took pages out of a vintage book and then strung them up to the ceiling with fishing wire.  The pages naturally turn and flutter when someone walks by, adding to the eerie feel.

Have any vintage treasures inspired you this Halloween? I’ll be back again this week with another peek into how a vintage Halloween at my home is bubbling and toiling.

    I love it!

    (P.S. I had to come back and type more — the blog wouldn’t let me submit just “I love it” said I needed to leave a longer comment. Too funny!)

    I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but I don’t recall ever leaving a comment – although I should have…

    but, this one takes the cake for Halloween decor!

    Great IDEA!!! Love the “movement” of your display.

    Thanks for the inspiration.

    I adore this! You should print copies of this image to make Halloween cards…

    Also, what a great display in a store window it would make… a poetic Halloween!

    Out of curiosity – how did you attach the fishing wire to your ceiling?

    Strong clear scotch tape did the trick. The pages and wire are so light it only needs a strip of tape to make it ghostly!

    You are too much, Grace. All you touch turns to magic. You photography and styling does need to be seen by the world.

    Incredible again. I believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and haunted tales from vintage Corona typewriters. And I believe you are one gifted chickita!

    Losing a pet is truly losing a member of the family and the void of their unconditional love is so difficult to bear. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    I accept that Gaga will draw criticism and that she polarises opinion. But this article, and comments such as those made by “GagaTheHerpesMonster” are the definition of ignorant, actually. Just because you dont like her music
