Finally got the WRMK mint typewriter. It is cute and I am enjoying it for journaling on pages. Much easier to use than stamps and looks nicer than my handwriting. Plus, I like the colors of the different ribbons. There is a learning curve since my high school typing classes were too many decades ago. I wouldnt be typing a term paper on it as computers have spoiled us. But for what I wanted it for, I am real happy.

I am so glad you got it. Didn't you have a long wait?
I am really lusting after one, because they are so cute and colorful.

Took forever. Turns out the best source was Michaels. Online they are $169. Continually out of stock but you can say to notify you when they are back in stock. Took about ten more days then it showed up. Since it was to be my Christmas present and it was already into January, I just went for it. But their shipping did take longer than I was expecting. When it arrives, you have to remove some packing devices plus a steel rod inside before it operates. If you read the instructions, it is OK. There is a learning curve as we are so use to computers but for what I am using it for, I am liking it. My lovely new craft room only gets the color coordinated things in it.

I sooo want one, but I doubt any stores here will carry them. I might have to wait until summer (and keep my fingers crossed I will find one then) and ship it home.

My darling children bought me a black one for Christmas. I was over the moon. I'm very happy with it! Leone have you tried the other colored ribbons? That's been my only issue so far. I put in the pink and black one wanting to use the pink but it wouldn't work. The black worked fine but the pink seemed dry or something. I'm going to try grabbing another and see if it was just a bad one I got.

Yes, I put in the teal and it works...took a little practice to remember how to change ribbons and I got a lot of black ink on my fingers,
