A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.
What a lovely surprise, receiving cookies in thanks for a typewritten letter! I find that varying the typefaces and stationery makes the novelty linger even longer, but you probably already knew that :)
(Rubber) Stamps and stickers add something too... and then there is that whole murky realm of mail art which frightens me because I am terrible at drawing... there is a lot of excellent inspiration out there.
Typewriting may lead to cookies. That is good to keep in mind. :) And thanks for noticing that the Hermes Media 3 is quiet enough for late typing. I was always unsure about this. :)

How sweet! (Literally and figuratively.)
ReplyDeleteA typewritten letter is to an e-mail as homemade food is to fast food.
It's amazing how simple gestures can mean so much, both in the giving and receiving.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's just plain FUN to type a letter and eat cookies! (Maybe even at the same time.)
Everyone who receives typewritten letters from me have been thrilled with them. Keep writing, and keep the USPS in business!
