While we're on the subject of new acquisitions, take a look at three of our latest! Charlotte and I stumbled across all of these a couple weekends ago up in Dover. First, let's address the pumpkins. Charlotte and I were driving near the community garden, which has been the home of many sad gardeners lately (as our pumpkin crop was largely stolen) when suddenly Charlotte yelled "Stop!" In the midst of some very dense brush (and wending its way into the forest) was a huge pumpkin vine with two perfectly shaped-and perfectly orange-pumpkins! Hooray!
Around the same time, we stumbled across this awesome circa 1949 Smith-Corona typewriter in a Dover shop. While we learned from a postcard inside the case that Mrs. James Jordan used it up in Great Diamond Island, ME during its younger years, we are bringing it all over the Northeast on our travels. We are having quite a time learning about this contraption we never grew up with (who knew that "Caps Lock" actually used to lock something?!?), and I have a new-found appreciation for exclamation points, as this typewriter was designed without an "!" key. Fun!
