Excuse the pun.
Those who “know” me, know that I have a soft spot for typewriters. I usually go for the really old Underwoods and Coronas, but while I was at the furniture shop last week, this little guy caught my eye.
The color is so pretty, isn’t it? I haven’t restocked my space at Lucketts since Christmas (Thanks Karen!), so I’m starting to make a pile of new things to take in a couple of weeks. This is going on the pile.
The winner of the $100 Antique Farmhouse giveaway is Jen (crazicrafter), which is so funny because she proclaimed in her comment that she has no luck. Well, your “luck” has turned. Congratulations!

How cute is this little guy? I don’t know if I could give it up. I know, it’s business. Congrats to the winner of the prize – lucky gal!
Your new man is fantastic. Love the color. Congrats to the winner.
Sweet. Can you just imagine the letters that were drafted on this beauty? I still love the sound of older machines; I think it reminds me of a simpler time in my youth.
That is quite the cute little typewriter! My daughter would love it. Hoping to find one to get for her someday – and if it really worked she would love it even more:)
I LOVE this typewriter! Are you going to be restocking your Luckett’s space before Friday? I am heading up there this Friday and would love to buy this from you!!!
So Cute! And I LOVE the color!!
So happy for lucky JEN!..and your lucky to have that adorable typewriter! I just restocked my booth today after 3 weeks away…ahh it feels so good to freshen it up! Have fun with yours! This little TOM THUMB won’t last long!
So darling! I almost picked one of these up a few months back, and I’m still kicking myself that I didn’t!
….as in, find the date. I’m married. I don’t need any dates. Ha ha!
I don’t know that I could ever collect typerwriters of any sort after my hate-affair with them in college. Oh, the white out. But this one’s color and name and look makes me reconsider…for a brief second.
We suffered when we went to college. 
When I was a girl….a very, very long time ago….I received a Tom Thumb typewriter for Christmas and I loved it! My great aunt was a secretary and I thought typing was just the most amazing thing. It was lovely seeing your treasure and being reminded of my childhood.
Lovely color!

Sweet find.Love that color.
What is it about old typewriters ~ I am just like you!! I love the aqua
I remember using typewriters like that
What a find, so cute. I treasure a perfect black Underwood that belonged to a relative. It’s a great display piece.
That little typewriter is so adorable!!

OMG! I had that sme typewriter, but in pink, as a child! Thanks for the memories. I can still, so vividly, remember the textured finish of that beauty! Who knew typewriters would become almost extinct- how lucky for you that you found this!(My 20 year old daughter, when she was a child learning about computer keyboarding in school- came home from school talking about a ‘typer’- didn’t even know what it was!) I find myself wondering who used it? what words did it create? the stories it told? Lovely!
would you be intersted in selling this? i love in TN and would pay shipping.. let me know what you think
live* sorry lol

Awesome find! Fun color!
Ohhhh! It’s quite wonderful! What a great color! Believe it or not, i learned to type on a typewriter not unlike that one, scary thought that i’m that old… yikes!

What a great piece! I think you should share the “pile” with us before you take it away. You may just end up having to restock before you restock, though.:)
Very cool item!
I’ve sold a few cool old typewriters on Etsy. Some couples have used them as a novel (pun intended) approach to the wedding guest book.
Here’s one in my shop now. http://www.etsy.com/listing/73843790/royal-typewriter-royalite-holland-sleek?ga_search_query=typewriter&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5556085
Will you be restocking your Luckett’s space before the Groundhog’s Day Sale this weekend? I first discovered you this time last year at the sale … and cannot wait to go this weekend!
You know, I think I might have my Grandfathers old punch-key black typewriter tucked somewhere in my garage, never thought of it’s “display” factor, I’m going to pull that baby out! I’m really not clueless, the west coast just decorates and looks at “things and objects” differently than you easterners, how lucky you are! I’m very into appreciating older, charming antiques of relatives and items of their era, but I’m few and far between out here, thanks for the lightbulb!
Looks just like a typewriter that my grandmother gave me as a kid. Love the color!
Very pretty color, indeed. I think it’s cool that someone smitten with old typewriters would end up having a successful blog and a book deal. You would have definitely used the heck out of it back in the day.
LOVe the typewriter.
So Beautiful in all it’s Glory!
I had a Tom Thumb typewriter growing up, the same color, and I used that typewriter to type my term papers in high school, (using carbon paper with the ‘special’ eraser, for multiple copies). Oh how I remember my late nights with Tom…..(funny side note: my first husband was named Tom and both my daughters married a Tom!)
Oooh, so coveting that typewriter, I dig them too. And I’m crazy about anything in aquas & turquoise color.
Fabulous! Love the color and the name. Great find!
