Hello, darlings! It’s Emma here, and as you can probably tell from the title, I'm currently in Mitcham! I know, it's not exactly Paris, but believe me, this little corner of Surrey is turning out to be a real gem.
My journey began as usual, with a delightful train ride. Honestly, I wouldn't trade the comfort and scenery of a train journey for anything! Plus, you just can't beat the opportunity to spot some lovely wildlife – I saw a whole flock of swans gracefully gliding down a canal!
Anyway, Mitcham’s calling wasn't for just a casual wander – no, it was all about a beautiful tutu! I spotted this gorgeous number at a vintage shop I stumbled across, and let's just say, it's a real showstopper. Imagine, a shimmering sea of soft pink, tulle so delicate it feels like spun sugar, and every layer crafted with meticulous precision – my heart did a little pirouette at the mere sight!
I simply had to buy it. And, to be honest, even a tutu that could buy you a decent house is worth it when it makes you feel like a princess!
A Royal Pink Reception
Of course, I had to wear my new tutu on a night out – after all, the theatre isn’t just a stage for me, it's a canvas for expressing my love for pink and tulle!
Mitcham might be small, but it's got a rather charming little theatre called the Ruskin. There’s something special about the way old buildings whisper stories, you know? This place oozed history. We went to watch 'Cinderella', and it was the perfect blend of classic and modern. Cinderella’s costume? Well, it had all the glitz and glam of a contemporary ballgown, but her sparkly ballerina slippers were the ultimate finishing touch.
Honestly, the entire show was just delightful – so full of sparkle, wonder, and…yes, you guessed it, pink! They even had a beautiful pink backdrop during the ball scene. And as if the fairy tale wasn't charming enough already, they had this delightful ballet scene, a whole troop of young ballerinas with bright smiles and tiny pink tutus doing pirouettes in front of a giant glittering carriage. It just made me so happy, I swear, I had to resist throwing my own tutu onto the stage and joining in!
Pink, Please!
Later on, we took a wander through Mitcham, and what did I see? Another shop that seemed almost to be designed for a tutu-obsessed like me. It had all sorts of pink frills and ribbons and fabric – even a dressmaking studio at the back! I imagined myself getting lost in that studio, creating a whole world of pink-tutu fashion… Maybe Mitcham's calling me to stay, and I just need a studio and a whole lotta tulle…
Seriously, everyone, life's just too short not to add some pink and tulle! Do yourselves a favour – find a ballerina class, try on a tutu, and take a moment to enjoy the magic. And as always, stay tuned for more Tutu-tastic adventures!
Love,
Emma
