I'm joining Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday!
School started here on Monday. We are getting my youngest ready for college in a few weeks. Don't you love all the school supplies?
Since I teach piano at home I always do a little welcome back vignette. The little toy typewriter is from Marshall Fields store in Chicago. I couldn't pass this up on Ebay since my Mom used to work there.
The other school supplies have been collected-Avon School desk, ink bottle, water colors, flashcards and vintage crayons.
This little book was found at Goodwill. I definitely have mixed feelings about school this year, but I can't wait for autumn weather!Leslie
I know you are really miserable!!It will be allright..he will get to come home for breaks won't he? I sure hope so!!Just think you have raised him up to be a fine young man..who will draw on the teachings you have bestowed on him thru the years!!
ReplyDeletesounded good huh...nah..I would be bawling and squalling right now..my baby.....yes just keeping it real. I will be praying for you tho..and I am here if you want to cry or yell..or just laugh.
hugs..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
As a retired teacher I adore school supplies. I love your back to school display. The typewriter is wonderful. My heart will always sing with joy when school starts.

ReplyDeleteHi Leslie!
ReplyDeleteOh! You have the cutest stuff and the best eye! Love everything. An added bonus, the mention of Marshall Fields which evokes memories of yummy Frango Mints for me. (where did they originate, Frederick & Nelson's in Seattle or at MF's??? My muddled brain doesn't remember.)
I think that's so wonderful you're a piano teacher, I so regret never learning an instrument. My parents never encouraged my brother or I to take lessons. WAH!
Hoping your son settles in easily and wishing you a great new year with your pupils.

What a cute vignette! I love the old books!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie, thanks for stopping by my blog! Your little vignette is so sweet. I'm sure your piano students love it and I bet you are a wonderful teacher too if you would take the time to set that up for them.
ReplyDeleteLove the Red typewriter - used to have one just like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog - and hope you have a great week too,
LOLA:)
btw My Rednesday post: “Can you give me directions?” Do stop by!
I just adore that vignette and you have given me an idea to do for my own back entrance for my daycare children when they walk in the door to start their day! A piano teacher? Awesome. I used to play piano for quite some time when I was younger (14 years)...sigh...the wild teen in me gave it up and also being able to be a teacher myself...
ReplyDeleteGreat display for both rednesday and back to school!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great old typewriter! and an adorable arrangement of school goodies. Thanks for the visit and the sweet comments!
