Guestbook!


Given that we are having a steampunk/Victorian style wedding we wanted to use something suitable for our wedding day.  So my soon to be husband came up with the idea of a period typewriter!!

I loved the idea so we went off in search of one!  Easier said then done though, typewriters from the right time are very collectable and most sell for close to £100 if not more, unless in very bad condition.  Then add in delivery for what are usually bulky objects we were looking at prices of £150+  way beyond our budget :(

Just as we were starting to lose hope though we found this stunning Bartlett typewriter in perfect condition (needed cleaning and a new ribbon) locally for no more then £30 we just had to buy it!!!
