You all know who Ton is, I'm pretty sure, but if not this is the time to head over to I dream lo-tech and discover all his fantastic typecasts and superb photography, with lots of the items he discusses in this post displayed - particularly Mid-Century Modern furniture and objects. His new Triumph Perfekt - and cursive at that - is a beauty!
Congratulations on the move! The last 3 times I moved it was courtesy of the company where I worked: movers came, packed everything, loaded the truck, took it to the new house and all I needed to do was tell them where I wanted what at the new location. However when I was first married we moved 5 times in 2 years!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Graphika. The typeface is beautiful.
Did you see the sewing machine in the Chestnut Ridge Typewriter MuseumChestnut Ridge Typewriter Museum? I forgot to comment that there was even something special there for Adwoa.
Oh, that sounds luxurious! Fortunately we weren't moving too far - just a 15-minute drive - so even though there was some heavy lifting involved it didn't feel too tedious and I recovered quickly. In no hurry to do it again (not to mention the furniture wouldn't survive another assembly!), but so glad it was not too bad.
DeleteI looked at the post you linked to but I am so dazzled by all the typewriters I can't for the life of me spot the sewing machine!
Sounds like a worthwhile move! Congrats on completing it successfully.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Ton's response to your questions, and look forward to more.
glad you came through the move ok. I moved many, many times growing up and haven't in a long time now. Love that Graphika...
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this, Adwoa, it's strange to see my answers posted in another's blog. ( :
ReplyDeleteI chose the Graphika for a very good reason, eh?
I just moved myself so I can definitely relate; typing again was one of the things that helped ground me in my new digs.
You made a great choice, Ton! Glad I could transcribe it all without too many typos :-)
DeleteGlad the move went well. Sounds like you have a wonderful view :)
ReplyDeleteI never tire of the sight of the Graphika and its typeface, so I'm glad Ton chose that machine. I enjoyed this first installment of your series :)
Thanks! I hope more people will contribute - I have a few entries to go but there is always the risk of running out :)
DeleteWonderful that the move went well! Did you also finish unpacking but is there still a heap of work to do there? Luckily it's fall, a good time of the year to spent in-house, making things cozy.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't let myself type until I got rid of all the boxes, so I'm glad to say we are pretty much done on the unpacking front too! Still some unfinished areas - light fixtures to put up etc - but nothing quite as obvious as living out of cardboard containers, so I'll take my time with those. You are right, fall is a lovely time to stay inside and putter about, and I cannot wait to be productive on the weekends. Lots of cushions to sew up!
