I love the dust on cobwebs on each of the keys. It’s kinda haunting, but in a nice way :)
Hi Susan. Not a great reflection on my housekeeping, but when I took the typewriter down from its shelf, I decided to photograph it just as it was. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your comment!

Love it. Specially the cobweb and the dusty feeling. Best so far.
Thank you. This is one of my favorites, too.
I love this – the dust and cobwebs contribute so much towards telling the story of the typewriter.
Thank you, Jennifee!
All the repeating patterns along with the creative location of the cobweb in your composition really draw me in. Love the light too.
Thank you, Jess!
Ironically, I happened to watch an old Mary Tyler Moore rerun where Lou Grant was trying to chase down a story. And at one point, he pulls out an old typewriter which he shows to Mary, letting her know that this was his grandfather’s typewriter, and that he was a pharmacist who had used it to type out prescription labels…..
That is so cool! I don’t remember that episode but MTM was by far my favorite show when I was growing up. Mary Richards was such a great role model for single career women…I’ve always thought maybe that character was partly to blame for the fact that I never got married! :-)
