I received a nice bonus this year, so I decided to spoil myself a little. For some time now, I've had my eye on this 1908 Miniature Underwood Typewriter by Ken Byers of Shaker Works West. It fits wonderfully in grandma's attic for now, though I foresee this piece making the rounds in my various builds just as Mary's afghans tend to do.

Lots of wonderful minis are making their way to grandma's attic. The Christmas box is from M Carmen for Caterina's holiday swap. I purchased the snowman. The sewing machine box is from Four Little Walls. It's sitting on a crate with some random books I made in front.

There's an interesting story about that snowman. A week ago, I noticed he was facing backwards. I thought this was odd of me to do, but I just shrugged a turned him around. When I set up this scene, he was facing backwards again!!!! :ohmy: Haunted attic indeed! I was seriously disturbed by this because I knew I had turned him around days earlier. Later that day, I was using the scroll saw and something fell out of the Heritage (the saw is attached to the same table). After picking up the wayward mini, I checked the attic and sure enough, that snowman had walked forward! Mystery solved...or was it? :hmm:
