Typewriter Key Necklaces

Typewriter Key Necklaces!

Super Cute!

Quirky!

Are you looking for the perfect unique gift?

Want to express yourself and be eco-friendly at the same time!\

The necklace was made from a key from a non-working typewriter, a silver plated bail and then hangs from a 24" chain.

You can shorten the chain by using ordinary scissors and cutting between 2 of the balls of the chain.

You will delight and surprise your friends with a custom gift.  Or show your funky, quirky style by wearing it yourself.

I just made a flyer/poster that is like this. (The formatting is different, the content is the same.) What do you think?

From Trash to Treasure

You may remember this typewriter from my previous post. My friend Tony from BUiLDiNG CHARACTER found it and gave it to me.

With a little soap, water and a lot of effort, the keys cleaned up nicely and made lovely rings. These two are listed in my Etsy Shop now. A large selection is available at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER as well.

Shop Update Tomorrow!

Here's a sneak peek of what will be appearing in my Etsy Shop tomorrow evening! See you then!

The Mystery Typewriter and Where I will be this weekend

Typewriter - Smith Corona, originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

Well, the mystery has been solved, actually. And it was sort of just who I would have suspected.

My pal Tony at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER rescued this beauty from the trash. Doesn't look much like a beauty in this photo, does it?

Well, once I popped all of the keys off and cleaned them up, they turned out really nice. Look for some typewriter jewelry in the future! I can't wait to use these keys.

And make sure you check out my salvaging pals at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER!

Which reminds me,

I will be at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER tonight for Music Friday in downtown Lancaster, PA. (342 North Queen Street)

Trash and Glory + Katie Becker will be performing live starting at 6 pm tonight.

My "New" Typewriter!

Typewriter, originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

The Hermes Rocket!

I got this from Maggie French Home (you should really check out her art at Maggie French Folk Art, too!)
--------------------
Here is more info about my adorable typewriter from www.mytypewriter.com:

Hermes typewriters were designed in Switzerland home of precision engineering. And they were built with all the Swiss passion for moving mechanisms and solid craftsmanship. The Hermes Baby/Rocket were no exception. The machine weighs in as the worlds lightest portable typewriter according to one of the companys publications.

Continuing the successful "Baby" line is the model here, the Hermes Baby/Rocket of 1954. This was the first major update of the 1935 version, sporting a new look, larger platen and improved mechanism, but still maintaining that super-low profile and handsome Hermes look. Its compactness and lightweight turn the Hermes Baby/Rocket into the ultimate choice for people on the road.
----------------------
Well, I haven't used it on the road, yet, but while I was trying to fix my computer, I was typing away on it.

I think what I love about it (besides, say, EVERYTHING), is that on the computer I type very quickly and can make corrections very quickly. On the typewriter, I have to take my time and be more careful, or else I have to start over again if I make a mistake. Also, I sort of like the look of my inperfections in the typing when I do make a mistake.

I honestly almost never buy anything that is not essential for myself, but I am so glad I bought this mint green beauty.

By the way, NO, it is not becoming jewelry, as most people assume when they see it! LOL
