And it did. I may have to go back and see what other colors they had. I got the brown. Kind of old world-y.

Typing
Seems like forever since I've been in Michael's. What a shock to see the "latest thing"... when did they start selling manual typewriters?
I have to admit, I'm kind of a typewriter geek, but I can't see spending two hundred bucks for one. I'm sure it's a dream to type on, but still. I did look long and hard at the ribbons for it though. Typewriter ribbons in different colors! Of course, my typewriter has the standard black/red ribbon. But these were in black/blue, black/brown, etc. I decided to take a chance and buy one to see if it would fit.
And it did. I may have to go back and see what other colors they had. I got the brown. Kind of old world-y.
Pretty ironic that the new ribbon cost more than what I paid for the old typewriter at Goodwill.
Even funnier, I looked on YouTube to find help in installing a typewriter ribbon. I also found instructions for using a pencil app. Even though I appreciate having a pencil tool on a phone or tablet for sketching, I found it ironic that you need an app to use a pencil. Or maybe it's just me.
And it did. I may have to go back and see what other colors they had. I got the brown. Kind of old world-y.

I like your old One better but how lucky to find new ribbons to fit. And in colors to boot! Too cool!
I saw those the other day, too and chuckled! Vinyl albums and record players at Barnes and Noble, and manual typewriters at Michaels. What's old is new. I never thought to see if the ribbons would fit my old manual. Another run to the craft store!
