Treasures from the studio....

Due to some events in the household last week my hubbies music studio has seen the start of a revamp....

in the process, some things have been uncovered ...

most of which don't actually belong to him.......


He presented me with this first find   ....

as soon as I saw it  I knew it was from our first ever trip to Melbourne back in 1998 for our tenth wedding anniversary ...we went to the footy.

Let's get rid of it my hubbie thought...no it has a story I heard myself say!!!!

oh no here I go again.  



next he found these song books.....they belonged to my mum or even perhaps my grandparents....

Filled with songs of the 40's & 50's and beyond......


and then he found these......
I was back in primary school in an instant....

My favourite thing in Primary school was singing along with the ABC broadcast of Let's Sing.
It used to boom weekly over the PA system in the classroom......
We were each given our own song book, that we would use to  sing our way through the year.....

   
On closer inspection I found that some of these books actually belong to my sisters.....not sure how they have come to be in our house.......

How did I know they weren't mine ????
The inscriptions in the front cover of professed undying love..... 

gives it all away....

I will make sure I pass them on.......
 I am constantly surprised at what we have tucked away around this home......

I am a hopeless sentimentalist

  3. Hello Bron, You said that you were thinking about trying this re-purposing thing . . . here's your chance. Have you seen the wonderful wreaths that they are making from music book pages.

    Thanks for visiting . . . I wish that I could offer you a cup of tea and a cookie when you stop by.
    I am very happy to be of some inspiration (with my aprons) . . . you will love re-purposing. Once you get started . . . the ideas will start rolling around in your head, and it is so much fun.

    Have a great day,
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

  6. I remember those books - I too still have some. THe days when the teacher would pipe the ABC radio channel through the pA....days when at school you when to the "film room" to watch reel to reel projector documentaries (don't we all know pointless trivia about the herring gull and life on the tundra!) and of course music in the"music room" (we had a big well decked out school in the ACT) where we learnt to follow sheet music using trianges, casstanets, tambourines, recorders - not computers, plasmas, sophisticated AV equip!!!
    Yet most of us went on learning and achieving high!
