I wanted so badly to be a classical pianist, and when I was 11 or 12, a friend of my grandmother needed to get rid of her spinet piano for space reasons and we inherited it. I taught myself how to read music, but I never got quite to where I wanted to be. In my 20s I joined a choir and ended up singing Soprano 1 for 30 years in successively better choirs. I sang Beethoven’s Ninth with the San Francisco Symphony as part of their expansion choir. I got to sing Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder (Songs for Dead Children) with the Berkeley Symphony while Kent Nagano was still its conductor. Maestro Nagano has the most beautiful hands I have ever seen…they’re like butterflies when he conducts.

He gave it to me for only $20 because I was so enamoured and when I got home I found that the signature was alice asmar who was displayed at the smithsonian. She had spent time with his family when he was a boy and sketch these in his backyard in 1961

I’m confused about the carpet part…is it the gray carpet underneath it or is the seat cover repurposed carpet?

Found this while thrift shopping at a WonderRex recycling store here in Japan. Saw this beauty on the shelf, and that they were only asking 5000 yen (equivalent to about 50 dollars, maybe a bit more). The edge was quite flimsy soft, so with some love, and DIY good items I fixed it up to be one of a kind, my handbag🥰💪🧤🧰⚙️👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇺🇸🇯🇵🌏🗻🗾
