Vintage Sheet Music Wallet - "The Elephants Dance"

A one-of-a-kind wallet handcrafted from an original page of 1940s sheet music from First Year at the Piano by John M. Williams.

This wallet features three delightfully named pieces — The Elephant's Dance (A.E. Müller), The Mocking Echo (C.M. Kunz), and At the Circus (Umlauf). Each piece carries helpful notes to guide the student pianist on tempo and finger placement. What a programme! Lined with a beautifully textured botanical wallpaper in cream, soft greens and greys.

No two designs are the same!

I love to collect vintage and retro books, magazines and other special documents such as sheet music and street directories to create a unique collection of wallets.

When designing a wallet, I select and cut out the pages (one for the outside and one for the lining) and cover them with clear PVC to have a waterproof protection.

From there I carefully stitch together the pages and fold them over to create your wallet, adding a Lyssy May label in the process to ensure its handmade story is shared.
