Love's Old, Sweet Song
Feeling very sentimental today.
I LOVE vintage ballet collectibles. Dresses, tutus, Pointe shoes, slippers, etc.

I was cleaning the other day and ran across my daughters pink ballet slippers (first few photos).
They are so tiny and sweet. I inserted some antique sheet music to help them retain their shape. Because I love "her".... a love song seemed appropriate. She began taking lessons when she was three. She would stand on my feet and we would dance around the house. I can still feel her tiny feet on mine.
She now lives in Seattle and is a very busy young Doctor. I miss her so very much. She is so busy that she has little time for "mom".
I also found some of her toys, her baby blanket, baby clothes and costumes (along with my son's little things).
When I unwrapped them.... I caught myself smelling them to see if the "baby" smell was still there.
I am so glad I kept them. Now that they are all grown up.... these sweet little things make me feel good. For just a moment.... they are little all over again.
The little porcelain Ballerina was my sweet grandmothers when she was little. My mother gave it to me. I will treasure it always.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
