I've always played some kind of music, even if it was just singing in a choir. I learned to play the piano as a child which, of course, taught me the fundamentals of reading music.
I found my first violin during one of my many outings to estate and yard sales, I paid $60 for it. A few years later, I found a teacher that could help me play a song I had "volunteered" to learn, and have continued with her for the past 3 years! Surely, I am no spring chicken so if I can do this, I'd say just about anyone can.
Most of my violin teacher's students are here in town, of course, but she has started something new. LESSONS BY INTERNET! What a great idea! No driving. No traffic. Saves time. No gasoline cost. Lessons in your PJ's if you want. Take lessons from anywhere in the world.
A violin is such a versatile instrument. Celtic music. Fiddle music. Country western. Classical. So many options.
I would love to introduce her to you if you think this is something you or your children would like to do. Her students are all ages and yes, I am the oldest.
You may think that a violin is too costly but I've seen them on www.ebay.com for as low as $34, which includes the case AND some include free shipping. No, it won't be the best violin in the world, but is a very low investment for a beginner. I've seen them in all colors too, including pink! Maybe I ought to get one of those!
Let me know if I can put you in touch with her and she can give you all the details. What a wonderful way to take advantage of our modern technology!

So Shabby Pink Bling Light Switch Covers
I like bling. Not too much....just enough. When I walk in a room, I want them to see me coming instead of seeing only my bling.
Have you seen the "just enough" bling we've added to our light switch covers? I like them. Visit us here and put a little sparkle in your favorite room.
Thanks for stopping by today.

So Shabby Pink - Flea Market Re-designs
Hello!
I started So Shabby Pink back in 2005. My signature pieces were "one of a kind" items embellished with our pretty roses.
Our website has three new pretties that will make your home unique. No cookie cutter here. :-)
Hope you are having a great Saturday!

Shabby Pink - Some Old and Some New
Hello and hope your Saturday morning is going well.
We have some pink scrunchies for lamp cords on So Shabby Pink. They are 8 feet long and very silky.

I also used to make a jewelry line many years ago and picked up some of my old pieces for this bracelet. For a 7" wrist. Antiqued brass pieces.

I like to give old things a totally new look. This is an old wooden phone note pad. Yes, it was even on our wall for a period of time. It has been redesigned into a lovely shabby chic style accessory for your message area.
