My entryway display is not yet complete, which is why I haven’t posted any pictures of it yet.
One of the key elements missing in this aforementioned display is an antique Underwood typewriter. Every vintage entryway needs an Underwood typewriter.
Unfortunately, most of these typewriters go for around $100, even on Craigslist. There’s already a long list of things we need to buy before then, essential things. Like bread. And Diet Coke. And an entertainment stand that Topher can’t climb.
So I’d already resigned myself to waiting a long time before buying one.
Knowing that I am unable to buy something doesn’t stop me from looking. Usually.
And I’m so glad I didn’t stop!
Because I just found EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Guess how much?
$100???
Try $10 !!!!
Even better, it still works!
It was posted this morning, but the only reason it’s still available is because its location is a small Podunk town an hour east of Dallas.
Luckily, for an extra 5 bucks the lady is willing to meet me halfway (I guess no one learned the lesson, It never hurts to ask!).
Thank you Craigslist (and Virginia of Greenville!) for my new $15 typewriter!!

I love your taste in decor. You should do a series of photos of window treatments you like sometime soon… solely for my selfish benefit, of course — I need to sew some curtains for our house!
