I hope that you have had a fantastic start to the week thus far! It's been such a busy few weeks of work for me, so I have hardly got the time to play around with my typewriters much, yikes! However, I have recently made a very special acquisition, so I am very excited about that... It has been shipped off to me earlier today so I am expecting it to arrive in a week or so. Once it does make its way here, I will be sure to share more about it! Meanwhile, here's a sneak peek!
I thought that for today's (brief post), I'd share about my other obsession when it comes to typewriters... Besides unique typefaces, I seem to have a soft spot for...
Pretty-in-pink Portables...
The pink Olivetti Lettera 22 comes in a lovely (deeper) shade of pink, and I must say that the single red tab key adds to the charm for me too! :)
This baby arrived swathed like one! |

Typecast dated 23rd August 2013 (Oh, the irony of most of the words printing fine until I get to 'perfection'!) |
I believe that the pink Royal Quiet De Luxe was the second of my pink typewriters... They seem to be very popular, and continue to fetch high prices.

2012 Christmas gift! |
The ABC pink portable is truly such eye candy, and one of my favourite choices when it comes to a Type In/Out. I love the curves of this one, and all the 'extras' it came with - including a matching user manual and gorgeous pink leather case!
I hope that wasn't too much cotton candy pink all in one post, and thank you for bearing with my indulgence! (I am still looking for a pink Royal FP, so if anyone is able to help, that'd be much appreciated too, hee hee...)
Have a wonderful rest-of-the-week!
Claudia
