Things are hoppin at the farm, I tell you what!
Today I am the proud owner of a jade ware green player piano. The color, not the actual jade ware, because that would be , well, weird. Weird and wonderful but sadly maybe impossible. Anyhoo we just moved it into the hallway today so we can vacume, oil and spruce it up but given that, it still plays!!!
It is the coolest. thing. ever.
As you can see...it needs work. I have paint, gold leaf, and fancy knobs and key tops just waiting in the wings!!!!!
Picture it! You're standing in the flower garden, sipping a beverage, waiting for the bride and groom to arrive and you hear music wafting through the garden. Why, is that a piano? You head toward the sound.
You approach the hen house which by that time, will be the renovated hen house turned catering kitchen, you peek in the large double hung windows on the garden facing porch and you see this (i think) magnificant green upright player piano tinking away.
Pay no attention to the person pumping the pedals.
I cannot wait to move this piano to the farm after the catering kitchen is finished!!!!
I have a lot of rolls coming for it, several I am really thrilled about. Perhaps I will attach sound files on the next entry! The wonderful OUR TREASURES on Etsy just gave me the best list of rolls. They went over and beyond writing down the titles. I love them!
