Do you recall pecking away into the wee hours to get your book report completed? I do, and boy, I hated that thing. Even though a typewriter carries a sense of nostalgia and communication of yesteryear (not to mention a clanging headache), it is time to pack away your typewriter ribbon and toss the old correction fluid, folks. The Atlantic is reporting today that the last factory to make typewriters is closing its doors today. The archaic typewriter is really more of a vintage novelty to most these days, sort of like this wedding book idea we posted about oh so long ago. I suppose the only end to this story, naturally, would be THE END.

the write stuff
We love, love, love vintage typewriters. They evoke an era of non-electronic correspondence that included signatures in ink, postage stamps and the smell of fresh paper. This was when mailboxes served the purpose of delivering something more than just bills and junk mail.
Our favorite idea is one that has been around for quite some time. Place some sheets of good, quality cotton paper (or one very long piece) out with an old typewriter and use it as a guest book. We think this is best for small, intimate weddings, as the guest entries will take some time to complete. Perfect for weddings of book lovers, writers and vintage enthusiastic couples.
Bride Beth commented, "Having a typewriter guestbook was really great! We have all of the pages in a scrapbook now and it is funny to read everyone’s comments." This picture above is from her wedding. How fun!Type on friends, type on!
