As a lil girl, I used to dream of becoming a ballerina.. but my dream didn't come true.. reason being back in the 70s.. going to ballet class or even get the ballet outfit ~ tutu and shoes would cost my parents arms and legs.. but that didn't stop my dream of one day, to get at least part of ballet outfit or shoes for myself..
and my wanting of having a piece of my ballet dream became stronger after seing this post from Heather.. her photos made me looking hi and lo for the shoes.. and it must be a vintage one..
sooo.. off I went searching and found one.. that the seller rescued from an estate sale.. and oh boy.. my heart fluttered.. and the next thing I know.. it arrived at my door step not so long ago.. just look how Kim wrapped the box.. look like a special gift.. isn't it? pretty in pink!..

and look... the pink toe shoes came in an original pink Capezio box..just awesome don't you think?
I don't mind if the box is meant for a tap shoes..
but it is CAPEZIO box that I want! hehehehe
and just look at the shoes..still in a good condition
with a bit stained here and there..
which I don't want to clean it up..
don't you think the shoes pretty?I wonder if the shoes fit..
now I got to find a place for this shoes..I might hang it at my pink corner..
with some pretty blooms..
if I can find any..
Heather, thanks for this great, sweet romantic idea..and yes you are right.. it is beautiful and very inspiring..
and no wonder I fall in love with it instantly..
To Kim, thanks for letting my dream came true..
xoxo

Well Fitty, now you've got me wanting a pair. Those are so pretty!
My Mom told me (back in the 60's) that I was too clumsy to take ballet classes. Wasn't that half the point of dance - to overcome clumsy?
I love that you got your shoes!!! They are beautiful!
Fitty,
Even though you did not live out your dream, now you can hang those shoes and look at them anytime you want and know that maybe this dream didn't come true, but many others did. And there will be more to come.

Wonderful! Now you may dance blissfully in your dream as this ballet shoes hang up on your wall!
I believe giving a gift in gorgeous wrapping is part of the gift and adds a special feeling to it. It's great you've received something you've longed for.
Have a great week.
ciao for now,
Elena :)

How sweet Fitty! I will have to go read Heather's post. I have my daughter's ballerina slippers somewhere and I do think they are in the same pink box!
Have a wonderful pink weekend!
