Pink Lace Shoe Inserts
I love vintage ballet shoes and have a large collection.
They make lovely, very feminine display pieces. Hang them in a group, hang a single pair on a bedroom door, sit a pair on a stool or on a vintage bed. So many ways to use them.
Because most all of mine are old........ I like to use inserts to help them retain their shape.
I made these from vintage floral fabric, lace and little ribbonwork roses. I filled them with dried rose potpourri. They give my boudoir a wonderful fragrance.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Elizabeth-those are beautiful and making those stays was a smart idea. They help keep the shape and they are PRETTY! xo Diana
Not only gorgeous but also very original idea!

What a great idea...They are adorable! I used to find them all the time, and never see them anymore!

Beautiful, those pretty stays are a great idea. I've been looking for ballet slippers without success.
So pretty! and a wonderful scent!
Hearts,

I love ballet shoes to and this is such a clever and sweet (smelling) idea:-)

Hello, I'm from linky party shabby art boutique and your blog is a love, I enrolled, hello
Love your ballet shoe inserts - great idea! I also love how you embellished the shoes with the lovely rhinestone jewelry. I did the same to my daughter's very first ballet shoes (age 2) - added vintage rhinestone shoe clips and now we hang them on the Christmas tree every year as ornaments! Have you seen the idea of saving your daughter's ballet shoes from each year, then placing them on top of each year's ballet photo - all in a row as the child grows? Wish I had saved all of my daughters shoes...Thanks for sharing. Catherine (new follower)
Absolutely lovely, and your page is heavenly.
Happy pinks!

Hi Elizabeth!
Just love these pretty ballet slippers. I have a pair of my daughter's from when she was 7. Now, I know what I can do with them!
Debbie
These are just fabulous, and add so much to the beauty of the slippers!
Gorgeous.
Hugs,
Patti
These are just absolutely stunning!!

Very pretty. Thanks for linking up at Shabbilicious Friday this week.
Oh, I am so glad you entered this one too. Worthy indeed. I don't really have too many rules and I don't mind multiple entries one bit especially since it's such a quaint gathering. I am sure none of my guests will mind seeing all your beautiful work, Elizabeth. Enter away!

Elizabeth, I just wanted to stop by and thank you again for linking at the table. I'm really not a huge fan of link parties but I just wanted to share a gift with someone for Mother's Day.
Your work is gorgeous. I remember browsing through your tags a while back. I'll be back tomorrow to look a little more.
xoxo's
Marcia
These are absolutely lovely! Couldn't find them at your Etsy store, but you have so many pretty items! I'm your newest GFC and Feedly follower. Hope you'll follow back.
Elizabeth, that is a wonderful (and pretty) idea about the little forms inside the ballet slippers. I still have my toe shoes from years ago. Not sure what I have done with them, but at one point, I had them displayed in a guest room closet I decorated. Love this idea.
XO,
Sheila
