Ollie the Typewriter

I'm an Olympia SM4 typewriter but I am so much more than that. I used to live at the @AWMuseum but they replaced me so now I roam the world in search of meaning

My name is Ollie and I am a typewriter.

I once called the @AWMuseum home, but they replaced me with other typewriters for their Tools of the Trade exhibit.

I refuse to be stuck in a closet, so I will explore this country in search of adventure! Who's with me? #OllieHitsTheRoad

And finally, I visited the Old Capitol Museum and @UIowaPM. This was a great way to wrap up my Iowa City trip, which was, as the kids say, LIT!

Happy #TypewriterTuesday! I’m gonna celebrate today by sharing a few more pics from my trip to Iowa City.

These first two are from the lovely bookstore @Prairie_Lights, an Iowa City staple. Did some window shopping, just too many great titles to choose from, go check them out!

I also stopped by the @BookshopGhost, a haunted bookstore. I have to be honest, I did not go in because I was so scared I inked myself. Too spooky for me!

@H_E_Saunders I got you.

Also, I’m sure your typewriters would love to take selfies too...just give em a camera and watch the magic happen!

@IowaCityofLit #OllieHitsTheRoad coming soon to a town near you!

Hi everyone!

Last weekend I had the absolute PLEASURE of walking the @IowaCityofLit Literary Walk. What a lovely adventure I had! Here's a thread of some of the selfies I took while I was out there, hope you like them. #ThrowbackThursday

After all that walking, I just had to take a rest on this bench right next to a pile of books! Typewriters get tired too, ya know...

Thanks @IowaCityofLit for making this fun and inspiring Literary Walk!

I’m headed to the Indiana Dunes this weekend...see you on the beach friends! #OllieHitsTheRoad

If you haven’t heard, it is VERY hot this weekend. Stay safe, drink water, apply sunscreen, then drink more water.

What’s better than a gumball machine, you ask?

A POETRY GUMBALL MACHINE

Found this beauty at @Milkweed_Books. Thanks for letting me chew on some poetry @OpenBookMN!

Greetings from sunny St. Paul, MN, where Charles Schulz grew up! #OllieHitsTheRoad

I had to stop here because #OTD 54 years ago Snoopy first trotted out his typewriter! Snoopy is a very good dog.

Comic strip from the fine folks at @SchulzMuseum, go check them out!

i have found the twitter account of a travelling typewriter and now the social media world is good again.

Hello old friend.

Currently taking a little trip up to Minnesota with some pals and saw this beauty somewhere in Wisconsin.

They say we’re both making a comeback, but we never went anywhere! #OlllieHitsTheRoad

With #instagramdown and #facebookdown it got me thinking....

You know what's never down and always there for your content needs?

A typewriter. 😎
