Mod Mischief

As always, the Great Glebe Garage Sale was awesome. Our best purchase, by far, was this beautiful Underwood typewriter for $15. only $15! After we clean it up, it's going to be so  pretty! I love that it's so old, it doesn't even have a key for the number 1 (you use the L key instead).  I can't believe we almost missed it - we initially walked right past it without seeing it, and it wasn't until our friend told us about the typewriter that we went back for a better look. We also picked up some cool glass insulators (2 for $1.50) and a widescreen LCD computer monitor that's as good as new ($20).

It seems that whenever I help someone out through Freecycle I wind up later getting something great for myself. Last week I gave someone a router and the very next day I was lucky enough to get this awesome typewriter. Isn't it cute? I'm looking forward to using it for greeting cards. Now that the costume craziness is over, Chris and I have finally started to set up the apartment and we're discovering more and more stuff we don't have room to keep. This weekend our porch looked like under a Christmas tree with rows of bags labeled with different names. I hope my lucky streak doesn't continue or I'll wind up bringing in more than we got rid of!
