I will let you all use your immagination for the rest of the story...anywho, she is snoozing away happy as can be and has even had the nerve to come nibbling around my paper scraps last night. I don't know why the words "cat lax" make me giggle, but they do.
On a happier note, here are some goodies I have picked up here recently.
A typewriter!!! Yay, I have been searching for one for a while and found one in a local antique store with a big ol' sale tag on it so of course I scooped it right up. It works great, but if someone has any info on where I can get ribbons it would be greatly appreciated :)
I also found a cute scale at the same shop
Some old patterns and vintage party favor cups
I went to Michaels to check out the new Martha Stewart Halloween stuff and came home with this cool metal sign...not MS but cool none the less.

Your typewriter is way cool!
I had no idea there was such a thing as cat lax! That is fantastic!!
I hope Pixie is doing better now. Those patterns are fabulous!!!
Glad that Pixie is getting into the papers again.... :)
OH! There was a person at our crop that found the place to get the ribbons in Chicago! Will have to find that name for you.
Btw - I learned on a typewriter like YOURS! lol.
Oooooh...a typewriter! I'm jealous. I've been looking for one FOREVER. The ones I find either don't work, or are freakin' EXPENSIVE! Bummer. Love those party favor cups too! You found some good finds!
That is scary... glad to hear Pixie is doing ok. Funny! I got that same sign at Michael's over the weekend. Lovin the typewriter.
Maybe my cat and Pixie should be friends. My cat eats all my paper scraps, hair ties, shoelaces, etc.
Cat Lax. Good grief! That must have been quite a day for you and Pixie! I'm glad she's okay : )
Hugo (my dog) takes no interest in paper but if you walk by his food bowl, he'll hover over it until you've left. I don't know how many times I tell him "Dude, I don't want your dog water...."
ooh! sorry about your poopy pixie! and thanks for the tag... this means I have to blog again I suppose.
oh... and I am totally jealous of your awesome typewriter.
your goodies made me swoon, which - SURPRISE SURPRISE - sounds dirty.
i'm glad the pix is good...and cat lax IS funny. although i'm glad i didn't visit you the last few days. eww. "this one time, at stinky martha's house..."
Poor little pixie! bet that hurt!!!!
I adore those scales...so so so cute Martha!!!!
Thanks for the Blog award :).....I am having anthro/martha withdrawal :(
wow, your blog is quite fun. i've just found it.
the cat lax made me giggle. once my cat ate the used-up tape from inside a tape runner. i had to pull 40 feet of tape out of her! glad your pixie is ok. she's adorable.
Hope everything turns out fabulous with Pixie. Neat typewriter! I used to have one like that.
Hi I'm from your area and wondered what shop you went to, you got some great stuff! Hope Pixie is better.Who knew someone made cat-lax!
Diana, I went to Colonial Antique mall in Woodstock :)
I got a Royal typewriter this past year and I, too was searching for ribbons. I took the old one out (if you have one) and went to Staples, where they have a universal ribbon that will probably work. As long as the disks match in size, you should be ok. BTW, stay away from ribbons with white out on them, whatta mess! You also might find one from the Royal website.
Also, I am out in Boston, not Chicago, but for those looking for a typewriter...if you have Craigslist, hop on there and do a search for typewriters. When I was looking, there was a ton!
my pug frank can only be in 2 rooms in our house, the kitchen and family room. he will eat anything and my boys have way too many legos.
Cat lax makes me giggle too:):) I really hope she is doing better now, that can be scary!
I think you did very well vintage shopping, Jealous of the typewriter and scale;)
and BTW...I purchased that exact same sign at Michaels! LOL and I thought of you when I did it too:)

cat lax makes me laugh too, haha. im glad your doggy is okay! I looove your vintagey signs, and cool halloween sign! :D I hope you have a great weekend!
