Charlotte was a disabled lady from our church.
I tried to help her by cleaning her tiny
apartment and taking her grocery shopping.
I visited her a few times when she was dying
in the care facility.
This doesn't sound exactly like the post title, does it!
But after Charlotte went to be with the Lord,
I was given a couple of her things
that her children didn't want ~
her Bibles and her music stand.
I use her Bibles but didn't really
have a use for her music stand.
But one of my sweet grand daughter's
needs one for her violin music.
She's 7 years old and loves pink!
Gentleman Farmer and I took the dusty
old black music stand and fancied it up
a bit for our little musician.
Here are the before's and after's!
 |
| The black music stand |
 |
| Disassembled and ready to clean |
 |
| Cleaned and lightly sanded |
 |
| The first of MANY coats of Berry Pink paint |
 |
| A touch of oil painted musical whimsey! |
 |
| The finished stand ready for Miss R to make melodies! |
I think Charlotte would be pleased that
someone was putting her music stand to good use
and giving pleasure to others with their music!

That is a sweet story. I love it. I remember using an old music stand that looked just like the before in school as I learned the violin. I would have loved the pretty pink one at home to practice by! I am Ms. Charlotte is pleased!
