Grandma's attic is looking spectacular, and I love the haunted snowman. You have a real treasure with that typewriter. YAY!!!

Hello Brae,
Wow, that typewriter is just amazing. Thanks so much for the links to the people who create these wonderful but pricey things.
Now the attic really looks like one. Just wait for the dust to cover everything!
I had a similar story with a wooden Buddha who used to turn when I was away. But you probably know how superstitious Thai people are, so all my Thai colleagues were sure my house was haunted!
However, one day, I found out one of these stray cats that roamed the streets, came into my house every time I left to sleep near the Buddha and moved it because there was little space... I moved the statue and it stopped moving.
Have a great day,
Patrick

Oh my goodness, I love it!!! I just adore vintage typewriters in real life and this little tiny one is totally amazing!! (I still have the one that I taught myself to type on when I was about 10 - which makes it pretty vintage even if it was new at the time LOL!)

Love the new addition to Grandma's attic! A very nice way to spoil yourself, you deserve it :o)

The typewriter is a lovely piece Brae. Good on you for spoiling yourself. I also love the one on Uncommon Goods. Such a fun piece combining the old and the new.

The typewriter is just gorgeous Brae!
When I use my scroll saw I have to remember to take my crosscut slide off the table saw next to it as the vibration of the scroll saw causes the slide to start falling off the table saw, I think you are you own ghost in the Haunted Heritage ;-)

The typewriter is fantastic Brea! What a great gift to yourself. I have looked at it several times myself and have been very tempted, but I 'need' other things first ;-)
I love the look of your attic, one of those places where you could spend hours discovering things and just playing. My grandparents had a great attic like that as well, much better than Disneyland!

The typewriter is a wonderful piece and just perfect for the attic. I'm quite sure we'll see it again and again, as you say, in various place.

wow- that typewriter is so beautiful! What a great addition to your attic! One of the reasons I love your blog is that you often share links of where you have purchased items and it has helped me out on occasion- so a big thank you!

This typewriter is a beautiful piece and addition to your ever growing collection. Reminds me of the typewriter I used to practice on until they brought out the Remington electric. Whew! Was I ever happy. Everybody was. I don't think I would have enough strength in my fingers today to type on a manual. I remember when my speed increased and several keys would lock.

I'm so glad you all enjoyed the attic pics and the typewriter! And the haunted snowman!
Patrick - love that story, too!

I have a set of porcelain dolls that were apparently haunted just like your snowman. Turned out to be my dad working on a stairway remodel right next to my room. I think the sander was causing them to twirl around, but at the time I was 10 and convinced that those dolls were possessed. XD
I love how the attic has turned out. It looks like the start of some kind of fairytale adventure.

Thanks so much!!
Well, I guess it's only fitting that this house scare the bejesus out of me from time to time...having been named The Haunted Heritage.
