Thank you!
Yes and meanwhile (after a couple of months ) I downloaded the typewriter app (which - the app - is of course new) on my iPad fromΒ Tom Hanks
and this one is really awesome with the old "bing" on the end of line....
I'm hopeless lost in retro I love all that stuff to bits and our home has quite a few littleΒ heirlooms of them.

my place would be like that too - if I had the space and money
-- but with me - a 'little' goes a long way !

Flea market I say... Not much space not much money
and ideas it's fun. Why buy new stuff? As you said a little goes
a long way. Other peoples trash (not all of it of course) is
our/others treasure. And you can furnish your home to a heavenly
cozy place with little money. And even if you don't have enough
space shabby chic. A paint here a paint there, something to mend
hey its so much fun!

I LOVE this! I've always loved old typewriters and other machinery of the past. The imagery here is awesome!

Ok I've looked at this several times and I think the thing I like the most about this is the antique film feel. It looks like a frame out of a silent movie.

You're right the antique film feeling but without the vertical little threads.

Well, you could always add a couple of those if you wanted to but it's fine just the way it is.

I know how you feel about the bookstore. I can't walk into one with out money in my pocket. That's the worst kind of torture to me. Heeheehee!

Speaking of books. I'm in the middle of an audio book by Bill Bryson called A Walk In The Woods. It's about a trip he took on the Appalachian trail hiking. It was recommended to me by a friend. I highly recommend it myself. so far it's a great tale. I love audio books in place of the tv at home or music in my mp3 player sometimes.

Sounds exciting. Although i never tried audio books, i love to have a real book in my hands.

I love audio books when I'm out walking. I upload them onto my mp3 player and listen while I'm out taking pics and getting my exercise. I do love the feel of an actual book though. I want to get me an electronic book though. I have all these e-books, most you can't buy anymore in regular book form. and I read them on my pc but that's inconvenient. I'd love to be able to take them out with me when I go to the lake or even just down to the park.

Thats a good idea. When i take our dog for daily walks i usually take my iPod with me. Maybe one day i will try a audio book.

Na ja, da musste noch was farbiges, gezeichnetes rein. Und dazwischen musste ich wieder mal etwas anderes machen, sonst wird es langweilig.
Hast Du? So geil, aber abstauben mΓΆchte ich es nicht wuahhhh.

aber diese Maschinen waren ja auch einmal einen Fortschritt und ziemlich sicher hatte man auch noch mehr Zeit.

Oh ja, ganz bestimmt.
Und mein Opa war Herzkrank und muΓte die letzten Jahre seines Lebens viel liegen. Er hat sich mit dem Schreiben die Zeit vertrieben...

Ufff, ein dejΓ -vue. Ich kenne das aus meiner Family.
Hm, Leben und Sterben und wir sind geboren zum sterben.... So viele offene Fragen und keine Antworten, es beschΓ€ftigt mich einfach sehr, dass mir meine Liebsten wegsterben. Sorry, dass war ja eigentlich nicht das Thema, mach Dir keine Gedanken dazu.
