Hello my darlings! 👋
It’s Emma here, and oh my goodness, what a whirlwind of a week it’s been! You see, last Saturday, I decided to trade the quaint rolling hills of Derbyshire for the hustle and bustle of Kettering. 🚆 Now, I know what you’re thinking: Kettering? What’s so exciting about that?! Well, let me tell you, my little loves, it was an absolute dream. 💫
First, I had to get my pink fix. Let’s face it, I’m practically allergic to anything that isn’t pink. So, imagine my joy when I found this glorious little vintage shop called “The Pink Flamingo”! 💖 It was bursting with everything a girly girl could ever desire: fluffy cushions, beaded jewellery, and of course, a glorious rack of vintage dresses – one even had little pink flamingoes embroidered on the bodice! Oh, my heart! I had to bring it home with me, wouldn’t you agree? 🥰
But of course, the real highlight of my trip was the ballet. Kettering may not be London’s West End, but it has this little theatre that’s simply delightful – The Lighthouse Theatre. ✨ This Saturday they were performing Swan Lake, and it was pure magic. The ballerina playing Odette and Odile was exquisite, graceful as a swan on the water. The whole experience, from the anticipation beforehand to the applause afterwards, made me feel like a little girl all over again. It’s amazing how the magic of ballet never gets old! 🩰
Then, on Sunday, I felt the call of nature. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good urban adventure, but sometimes my soul craves the great outdoors. So, I took a trip to the magnificent Wicksteed Park. The horses at the petting zoo were positively smitten with me, you know. One particularly handsome fellow kept trying to lick my nose! I even bought him a bag of apples, because every graceful creature deserves a treat now and then, wouldn’t you agree? 🍎
As for my tutu wardrobe? Well, let’s just say I couldn’t leave Kettering without a little upgrade! The vintage shop actually had the most charming little collection of tutus in every shade imaginable, from a fiery red to a delicate lilac, and, of course, a divine baby pink tutu! 🩰 I knew I had to have it. It felt like it was destined to be my new travel companion! The next adventure, it's coming with me!
But you know what, darlings? The highlight of the trip wasn’t about the tutu, the horses, or even the glorious ballet! It was the wonderful people I met! 💖 There was a group of children at the park who had never seen a tutu before. The look of awe on their faces, and the questions they asked - "Do you dance in it? Is it made of magic? Can I try it on?” - warmed my heart beyond measure. I think that’s what it’s all about, you see? Spreading the love of ballet and tutus and letting everyone experience the joy it brings. 💖
So, my sweet dears, are you inspired? I know it’s been a while since you last wore your tutu, but remember what I always say: “Every day is an opportunity to embrace the tutu life!” And with that, I'll be off. Gotta start packing for my next big adventure...and this time, my brand new baby pink tutu is coming with me!
Until next time, darling!
Love, Emma
