Ballerina Still Dancing

You know how you buy some things that you love and then, eventually, you fall "out" of love with them?

 Perhaps it's just part of human nature.

Well, there's one little treasure purchased last year that's still a very favorite.  If you missed the original post on her, and would like to read it, it's here:  http://writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2010/01/charm-and-grace.html

Have to chuckle that the post ran in January of last year. Little ballerina has changed locations.

She no longer resides in a bedroom.  Ballerina is in a downstairs room now where she can be seen every single day.

She is so charming in every detail, right down to tiny earrings.

The gracefulness of this little figure amazes. She's just so darned sweet and the epitome of loveliness, don't you think?

One day this week I captured her in the late afternoon sun and there was a shadow behind her.  She looked so stunning to me---so artistic.

Little ballerina just makes me smile. Don't really know why she is so mesmerizing but I'm glad she came home with me that day so long ago.

Charm and Grace!

Delicate sculptures are extremely appealing. As if frozen in time, they are a delight to the eyes.

While browsing in Saver's this past holiday season, I came across a ballerina music box balanced on a shelf in dance position. She was graceful and perfectly posed, as if ready to twirl around a stage. She caught me off guard because I was not in the market for a ballerina.



The music accompanying her mid-air balancing act is from the Nutcracker Suite. It's mysterious and haunting as the little ballerina, herself.


So today she dances on a dresser in the guest bedroom, adding charm and a touch of grace to the decor.

Even though not on the lookout for a ballerina music box, finding her was a stroke of good luck. It's the little things that add a touch of pizazz to everyday living. Every glimpse of the little ballerina makes me happy!
