[tahyp-rahy-ter]

Birthdays are great for getting typewriter paraphernalia. This fine bone china mug was a present from my sister in Wales. The creative behind it is Roderick Field. He has a way with words and pictures. Mug is by McLaggan Smith Mugs of Alexandria, Scotland. It is about an hour away from the former Olivetti works at Queenslie, Glasgow.

    Feliz cumpleanos. Love the mug, but the "X" is a bit foreboding...

      Those are nice too. Mugs are a bit of a running joke in our house. When it is full, we need 3 mugs. With guests, maybe 10. So why do we have 50 or so?
