Hey friends! Thanks for some great photo tips last week. I'd love to hear more if you got any. This week I am sharing this typewriter. I picked this up in my dad's garage. He's been going through his stuff and this was in there, he was getting rid of it. He said it was my grandpa's.
But ahhh what to do with it??? Keep it, sell it, put it in the garden??? It is sitting here on my office floor. It is suuuuuper heavy and my husband calls it the anchor because we all keep tripping over and getting hung up on it lol! I think I may use it as a piece of decor in my office makeover if that ever happens. I think it would make a fantastic Halloween decor/prop add some webs, spiders and a creepy note! If you have one I'd love to hear in the comments how you use yours. So that's what I got!

Now on to your features. I usually post the ones that catch MY eye but this week I am doing the features a bit differently. I am posting the ones that got the most visits. First up...

Land of EnCRAFTment shares the before and Halloween after
of this thrifted Victorian boot. Isn't that smart!

Virginia Retro shows us the great deal on this gentleman's wardrobe. I would definitely want to make it my craft closet. Lots of compartments in this baby even a tall side for gift wrap! (I'm Dreaming)

Mini Matriarchin picked up these great spoons! I love them! These long ones are perfect for a nice tall glass of sweet iced tea (which by the way we are still drinking over here cause it's still 97 degrees.)!

 Alright lets play!

  6. I love your typewriter! My grandpa had one just like it. He was a newspaper reporter and after he retired, he'd type looong letters to the family on it. I would do anything to have it now. :)
