My Miss Melly

Our dear Melody will turn 17 on the 8th.  They had her a birthday party Monday, but we weren't able to go. Jon Abram got her shelf up that her Papa did for her. He found this at a yard sale, discarded. Sort of reminds me of "The Old Violin." After her Papa got through totally refinishing it, it was truly a thing of beauty!
Nanny gave her one of her Grandma Sower's depression glass platters to place on it. The doilie was part of her Grandma and Grandpa Sower's home for most of her Nanny's life.  The little figurine sitting on the doilie was a gift from her Grandma Delamarter.
Melody is one young person who has a love and appreciation for "old things."
She is special in so many ways!!!
