Rotary Phones

 

If you know me, it would be no surprise that I'm a huge fan of vintage items. Not the least of which are rotary phones. Today, I'm celebrating my love of rotary phones because my new one came in the mail from Lithuania. I bought it from Etsy.com a couple weeks ago. Tonight, I welcomed the new phone into my home.



 

 

Isn't she gorgeous? The question may be, "why love rotary phones?" It's true, they are more time consuming to dial. Yes, you can't tell who's calling when the phone rings. However, there are so many more wonderful features.

One, they are beautiful. Who could honestly say that the phone above is not akin to a work of art? The strong geometric shape mixed with the soft colors are exquisite. Two, the sound of the phone. When this phone rings, it sounds like a phone. Though many may not appreciate the "bring, bring" of the phone, I love it. I'm so sick of hearing chirps, bells, and rap music coming out of people's phones. To have something be what it is, well, the honesty of it makes me love it.

Yay for my new phone. Plus, I laughed like a little girl when I called it from my cell phone and heard it ring. An item you purchase that makes you that giddy, to me, is worth it!
