From singing barefoot on the front porch of her Tennessee mountain home to commanding the stage in six-inch heels, Dolly Parton is a larger-than-life living legend with a heart as big as her dreams. Her songs have captured the hearts of generations, her electric smile has brightened the lives of millions, and her trademark style is recognized across the globe. Dolly Parton is one of an elite group of individuals to receive at least one nomination from all four major annual American entertainment award organizations: Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, and Tony. She even attended the Carousel of Hope in 1983 and has been a loyal supporter ever since.

A couple of years ago, Dolly created the album "Run, Rose, Run" alongside number-one bestselling author James Patterson to enhance their accompanying novel. The twelve original songs by Dolly tie into the story line, making for a unique experience that only she could create. In addition, there were a few different guitars designed with a western feeling for this album. While the one featured on the album matches the overall vibe of the music with a burnt-out rose color and design, Dolly thought this beautiful, rhinestone-encrusted Oscar Schmidt acoustic guitar would be perfect for The Carousel of Hope auction.

This stunning guitar is embellished with brown and blue rhinestone flowers and accentuates the guitar’s natural wood color. With Dolly’s signature in the top left and the dazzling rhinestones to accompany it, this guitar is sure to take your breath away.

Of everything Dolly has achieved, she remains humble and grounded in faith and family. From her "Coat of Many Colors" to her wigs of many styles, no dream was ever too big and no mountain too high for the little country girl who turned the world into her stage. Dolly said, "My dream was to make as many people happy as I could in this life."
