Our School System had an auction this morning and we picked up some really cool stuff for my sewing room. After a little paint and repair I am going to have a great space! I got the desk for $1 and it has drawers on the other side too. I am going to have a frame built to make it a little higher and put wheels on it.

3 typewriters? Hmmmm, for pressing blocks?

Just kidding, I HOPE you got that awesome table under them.

I have a old card catalog file like your last picture. Looks like you find fun treasures.

I know. =) They didn't sell and the kids wanted them.. And I did get the table for a buck..and the card catalog for a buck. The most expensive thing was the chalkboard for $15.

That red typewriter is an IBM Selectric...that was a very expensive machine back in the early 70's. I had one just like that when I was working, just our of high school...

I really like the table the machines are on...

Great for your sewing room

That yellow wire book rack is one of those spinning things that will get a coat of paint and hold my patterns. i won't know what to do when everything actually has a home and not shoved in boxes. =)

The table is awesome! But heavy. It has 24 drawers. And that chalkboard weighs about 50 lbs. Ought to be interesting trying to hang it. =)

Great idea!! They have those here too. I am gonna have to attend the next one.

Me too...wow could you be creative with that piece.

They sure would have sold alot more..if things hadn't been left out in the rain storm yesterday. There were sewing machines & sergers that were just soaked. Projectors computer things...it was a mess. The typewriters we got were wet..If they don't work after they dry out how cute will they be as planters?? =)
