Do you remember your first jewelry box?
How did it come to you? Under a tree?
Among a pile of birthday gifts?
Hand - me - down from a big sister?
Was it simple and elegant?
Or a sweet little cottage?
Was it musical and did it have a ballerina?
Gracefully twirling.
Endlessly dancing to the tinkling music.
Enchanted and enchanting.
She inspired a million dreams
of leather ballet flats, and leotards ...
stardom and tutus....
lessons and hours of practice...
and pink satin toe shoes.
There are many vintage ballerina images available online including several versions that feature the ballerina above. I created this print out a few years ago - pre-blogging - from an image that is part of a Dennison set I had as a girl. Her expression is part confidence, part enchantment, full of the joy of health and the joy of dance.
What more could I wish for anyone? Have a blessed week!
