Helloooo my beautiful darlings! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, and guess what?! Today's post is all about Ashton! I took a little train trip to this charming little town (trains are the best, don't you think? So elegant!) to find some hidden tutu treasures and ended up with an adventure that was as pink as a flamingo's feathers.
First stop, the market! Now, let me tell you, it's not always about the fanciest, priciest things, you know? Today, it was all about the hunt for the perfect bargain, the ultimate budget-friendly tutu! I'd been trawling the web for ages, and nothing was quite capturing my eye. Then, BAM! I spotted it, nestled amongst a pile of secondhand clothing - a little pink tutu with delicate lace edging, a dream for two quid! Absolute steal, darling!
With my new pink treasure in hand, I popped into the local antique shop, a little gem overflowing with curios and knick-knacks. Can you imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the most beautiful china teacups with pink floral designs? Talk about perfect for a delightful afternoon tea party. The lovely shop owner even gifted me a dainty little floral brooch to adorn my new tutu - she's got great taste!
Next up, I decided to take a wander down to the local equestrian centre. Honestly, who can resist a spot of horse riding? As soon as I arrived, my eyes were met with a vision in pink: the most beautiful pink pony with a mane as luscious as a ballerina's hair. His name is, wait for it... Prince. Now, that's just too good, right? I had to get a photo - him and me in our pink finery, a true tutu moment! Prince, even you looked fantastic in your pink halter!
You see, darling, the thing about Ashton is, it's full of surprises, little corners that are bursting with character. You never know what you're going to find - a little vintage shop with a treasure trove of pink, or a graceful horse waiting to take you for a lovely trot.
As I boarded the train back to Derbyshire (yes, my beautiful, homely county where my love for ballet was born), I felt that little pink twirl in my heart. You know that feeling, darlings? When your soul feels so full and happy. Ashton was one of those days - a tutu bargain, a charming town, and a graceful pink pony - it truly made my day!
Oh, and if you're wondering, yes, I did wear my new two-pound tutu throughout my whole adventure. It’s not just for ballet classes, you know? I believe every day should be a twirling adventure!
I’d love to hear your travel adventures - leave a comment on my website, www.pink-tutu.com, and let me know where your journeys have taken you! And remember, darlings, always wear your tutu with pride, because the world is your stage.
Until next time, stay sparkly!
Love, Emma x
