Stamp'n and Type'n

It was too hot to be out in the yard today, so  I played around in the house and put the final touches on the garage sale we are having tomorro.   H has a collection of vintage typewriters, rubber stamp holders, rubber stamps, old mixers......the list goes on and on!  (lol).

SO....I borrowed some of his stash and put together a vignette on the desk that is in the sun room.

The little black typewriter on the top shelf is a travel style and folds over to pack in a suitcase.


This is an old electric typewriter that I painted the blue on it...pink of course....
and left the keyboard cover the original aqua.  You may remember seeing this old typewriter out on the patio a couple of weeks ago.  It was sitting on a wicker desk.


H bought this old notary stamp at the auction.
H is starting to get quite a collection of rubber stamps.....I think it would be fun to display them all in a cloche, what do you think?    On the top shelf of the desk,    you can see I took one of H's stamp holders,   painted it pink,   and put little glass vases in the rubber stamp  holder slots.   It makes a cute flower holder!

The old stamp pads are hard to find, most of them were thrown away when they dried up.





This is a close up of the vintage chenille spread that is hung by the desk.
I am looking forward to the week end.....hope it isn't toooo hot!

til next time....

  9. Penny,
    Love all of these wonderful vintage pieces!! I think it is fantastic that H. has his own collections... Joe only collects old lottery tickets..... LOL!!
    A truly fantastic collection.
    We had 2 inches of rain yesterday in 5 hours!! Flash flooding all over but I am up a a huge hill so that would never happen to us. Pictures of our area were on GMA this morning....
    I am still working in my guest room. I am moving a bit slower as I tripped and fell yesterday while moving things in and out of the craft room and guest room. I landed on my right hip and Thank God it was not my knee and that I still have quite a bit of padding on my butt!! LOL!!
    Just sore though today...
    Good luck with your yard sale ... Wish I could come to it as I am sure i would be filling our SUV with all of your great things!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

  10. gosh that is a beautiful display, after many hours tapping away on the old machines I embraced the new technology and threw away the good old eraser, now all these nostalgic collections look so pretty and friendly, am wondering if we took more time to connect with our words on the old typewriters
    well done, love your eye for design

    ReplyDelete
