~Music In The Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #22~

I saw this music stand at a High School Rummage Sale near our home.
The volunteers were packing up their things that day, I was late as usual.
I asked how much it was and the lady said because it has a broken stand, how about $5?
Of course, I said yes.
I grew up in a family with music and singing. I knew I wanted it but didn't know how to use it.
I placed it in a plant pot and then the magic happened.
The crystals hanging from it reflected the light and it looked magical.
I knew my mother was with me and said this is the perfect spot for it...

Now on with the Party...
Last weeks Simple & Sweet Features!

    Hi Jody,
    What a clever use of that music stand!
    I never would have thought of that.
    You are so creative!!

    I'm off to check out the other blogs that you've highlighted.

    Smiles :)

    p.s.
    For what ever reason, while I was on vacation, my blog roll dropped dozens of my blogs I had listed. I'm slowly getting them all put back on.
    Putting your blog on today :)

    Oh, how lovely the stand looks in its special spot! Is it close enough to a window in the house that you can hear the crystals tinkling in the breeze?

    I don't sing, no one would want that but I love that music stand. A book or art work would look great on this stand too. Thanks for hosting again this week, Laura
