How about that. Thanks everyone. I never thought this cut little phone could generate so much chatter. A pleasant surprise to be sure.

Shadowbox... yes, I work at Veer. Mostly web stuff. Sometimes typography. Always grooviness.

Loungerie... thanks for the pointer. I had yet to stumble across that group. Consider it added.

Elisabeth... we purchased the phone from a place that sells refurbished equipment. I'll see if I can dig up the site for you.

amazing pic. I wish I had one like that! blogged
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

splorp says:

@jenerally Thanks. Orange and grey are the new black.

@sarahfaur Those Art Thang gewgaws are wonderful. This phone isn’t currently connected to anything right now - people were saying that the microphone created too much static. Since it’s an old carbon-based receiver, sometimes the insides get a bit crufty. I think I’m going to take it home and try to get it back up to scratch. Seems a shame not to be able to use it...

@el roldán I think most everyone on this page does too.

@pencilpusher What are you waiting for? Go get one for yourself.

Hello,

I'm an administrator for the group ~GiRLsStuFf~ and I've just noticed your great pic.
It would go together so well with the group's main idea.
It'd be great if you'd consider joining the group. :)
I must mention that I just started the group, so please don't let the small number of members and photos scare you off. It's only the beginning. :)

Kind regards, Linda

hope to see you soon in ~GiRLsStuFf~
