Ballet Slippers ~ Love's Old, Sweet Song

 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!
