You’re invited to a Piano Recital!

Did you take piano lessons when you were growing up? I did and I remember being very nervous at my recitals. I think I even have an old photo of myself dressed for a recital that I might sneak in at the end of this post.

Grace is modeling her new recital dress.

JoAnn and I are continuing our summer sewing challenge. She sent me this fabric and we both made something with it this week. Her blog is HERE. I can’t wait to see what she’s made!

I had the idea to make a collar and sash and drew out a pattern for the collar.

And then at the last minute I thought about ‘sheet music’ and said something to my hubby. In a matter of a few minutes, he had found an image and printed it out for me. (I know, I am spoiled!)

The clear glass piano box was mine as a child and I managed to hang on to it all these years.

And yes, this is me at 9 years old.

 

(it’s the back of our house and there’s a mop hanging outside the screen door, oh well, too late to photo shop that out now! heehee!)

I’m joining the Vintage Inspiration Link party HERE,
