Hello my sweet little tutus! It's Emma here, ready to share my latest adventures! I'm currently perched in the cutest little café in Welling, sipping a latte with an obscene amount of pink foam (because a girl needs her caffeine fix in style!) and letting my thoughts dance about in my head, much like the elegant moves I'll be practicing later.
Oh my darlings, you won't believe what a whirlwind week it's been! I feel like a butterfly in a whirlwind of tutus!
London's Theatreland
First, let me tell you about my time in London, oh my darling, a magical city that just bursts with artistry! I found the most exquisite pair of shoes (they're blush pink, obviously, with sparkly accents) just off Covent Garden and just knew they needed to grace my feet in the theatre. This week, I snagged tickets to a fantastic production of Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. I felt every pirouette, every leap, as if I was dancing with them. The colours were dazzling - they had me absolutely mesmerised! It's amazing how these incredible dancers manage to tell such powerful stories, simply through movement and grace! Did I mention how gorgeous everyone looked in their shimmering costumes? I’m so lucky to experience all the wonder of ballet theatre so often!
Riding Into the Sunset
You all know my heart belongs on a horse! My week kicked off with a long horseback ride through the glorious countryside around my Derbyshire home, and I swear, those four-legged beauties could move like ballerinas! Their grace and power always amaze me. A day galloping through the wind with the sun on my face is the ultimate way to start the week.
Tutus by Train
From my Derbyshire haven, I hopped on a charming, old-fashioned train - I’ve been really getting into those recently – for my trip to Welling, which is my lovely Aunt Elsie’s home. I may be a bit biased, but it's one of the cutest villages you’ve ever seen - full of charming cafes and flower shops. There’s a cute little tearoom down the road, and guess what? You guessed it, they serve the most delicious pink cake. The entire train ride, I had visions of how I would dance around her cottage. It was a little bit too much for the elderly lady who sat across from me. I did feel a tad self-conscious, so I tucked my little ballet flats, you know, the kind you wear for ballet classes, into my bag and my feet tap-tapped for the rest of the journey. I can't wait to go on another trip by train soon! I always feel like a star, on a grand adventure!
A Splash of Colour
You see, my love for tutus is not only a love for the beauty of dance but also for colour! The world just looks more interesting in pink! Every pink sunset I witness, every beautiful flower that blooms, every little pink ribbon that decorates a box... it all calls out to me, inviting me to spin!
Oh, speaking of beauty, let me tell you about this little butterfly I spotted in a flowerbed on my walk today. It was a tiny little thing with iridescent wings. As I looked closer, its colours were stunningly intricate - like a kaleidoscope! You know, you can’t even see a butterfly like that at a big butterfly farm! All those people always make me think of an ant colony! Anyway, this little fluttery friend, dancing from flower to flower - It reminded me of my first love for dance and ballet! I love the energy it brings to the world, even the tiny little insects like to play their part, they love it! Oh darling, isn't that amazing?
Pink Tutu Dreams
Oh my dearest friends, you're all beautiful and you are all unique! Every time I put on a pink tutu, I feel like a princess. A powerful, fierce, ballerina princess. And that is the power of pink and that’s the beauty of dance! It makes you believe in your own fairy tale! Don't be afraid to spin! Don't be afraid to let the world see your unique sparkle, just like that little butterfly! Wear your tutu proudly! It’s not just about looking pretty (even though pink tutus are pretty), but it's a statement about finding joy, creativity and confidence in your life.
This week, let's all aim to move like a ballet dancer, grace like a butterfly and have the inner strength of a horse. Go and spin, my darlings, and feel that beautiful confidence blossom in you! And as always, if you love tutus, then you’re a part of our family!
Until next time, my little ballerinas, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
