Colour-rama!

Well, that's another road trip to Mill Park Savers done and dusted. I'm a little poorer, but my life is way more colourful. We left with two big bags full of goodies, but it could have been worse!
When you spy a vintage orange typewriter with the brand name "Craftamatic Mark 1", tell me honestly, would you not buy it? Regardless of the fact there is no room for it and you may never use it..........I thought so.An opshopper after my own heart!
But caution. Think twice about taking a teenage girl who is studying fashion and is into re- purposing clothes to Mill Park Savers.
I'm all about branding , logos and colour at the moment. I am going to steal the names from my Savers game and typewriter, give them a slight tweak and voila, I'll have two new blogs: "Colour-rama" and "Craft-o-matic". I have some ideas for these already, but they will have to wait till after this special event.......Mark it in your diaries!!!!

    'craft-o-matic' and 'colour-rama' two perfect Betty Jo blog names.

    (I wouldn't leave that typewriter behind either)

    That is a fine figure of a typewriter, I'm hoping I'll find one one day so i can type up retro-looking party invites etc. Love your header pic x

    Great find! I recently found a Royal Quiet De Luxe but definitely not as vibrant as yours! I blogged about it here:
