Worn & Wonderful ~ Pink Saturday
Decorating with cast offs. They're pink ..... a wonderful worn shade of pink! What's not to like? Lay a pair of old pink ballet slippers on a pile of vintage books as a focal point. Add pretty old pink velvet ribbons and hang them from a mirror or a wonderful old print or a romantic Victorian painting of roses or off a bedpost. Adding just a bit of whimsy and textural feel to a room can make all the difference from a ho hum room to a WOW room. It's a good thing! Keep those eyes open when you are at yard sales and thrifts. And look at things in a new light. Happy Pink Saturday you all. Now leap on over to Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound for a whole list of pink beauties. :)

You know, now that I think about it, there was not a lot of light pink in India......all the pink was very strong and bold! I just loved all the rich colors we saw :)
i love those shoes, just love them. i actually have two pair of "ballet" flats that I wear all the time, so comfy.
There is something so classy and elegant about ballet slippers, I think of classy ladies like Audrey Hepburn or Princess Grace when I see them.
Love ballet slippers..Happy Pink Saturday

These pretty little ballet slippers look very well worn, some precious little girl was on her way to her dreams!
Your "pink" decorating ideas are very romantic and sweet~it just takes a little imagination. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think I would like to wear those pink ballet shoes :-) Oh but I do agree about the adding ribbons and hanging them for display whether from a door knob or a bed post. pretty!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Such pretty little shoes!! Love the idea of hanging them off a picture!!
Oh the color of pink is such a wonderful color. It reminds me of dreams from yesterdays gone by. But yet of ones that my little great-nieces have now!
The slippers surely look like whoever owned them before got much use out of them! To which I say "Way to Go." Enjoy this weekend and know that we are getting some much needed rain here in NC.

How I wished I had kept my daughter's little pink ballet slippers! We have a pair of her pointe shoes, but your idea with the slippers is a great one. Glad your weather has taken a definite improvement! Happy PS! L, Dana
What a lovely pair of pink ballet shoes, never too much of pinkness here :D
I never took ballet, but maybe I could hang a pair of these on my armoire and no one would ever know!
One day of the week I get to truly indulge my ♥ for pink and today, you sure have made me happy! Thanks so much!
How precious to share a piece of your life...
I SOOOO LOVE these! I have mine too, and love take pictures of them!!

I love Pink Ballet Slippers!!
Ballet slippers always remind me of when I was little and took dance class. I wasn't any good at it, but whenever I see those slippers I remember the big, echoy studio!
Happy Pink Saturday!
I love ballet slippers the more worn the better!
I joined in on your Pink Saturday Adventure... I hope you enjoy my Pink Saturday Post as much as I enjoyed yours... Have a fabulous weekend. From our Family to Yours... Jaime
I love ballet slippers. I had Fifi of Fifi Flowers Design paint me a pair hanging from ribbons with the Eiffel Tower in the background for my granddaugter...I would have loved it for myself.

LOL! Your post makes me wish I had held onto at least on pair of my daughters' ballet shoes.
Happy PS! I always wanted to learn ballet since I was small but never went.. I love how ballerina dance, so smooth, delicate moves and look sweet in pink tutu and slippers.. and your slippers are so pretty.. have a great weekend!
I have always heard that every room needs a touch of whimsey and the ballet slippers are just perfect. I love your ideas for touches of pink to add to a room. Have a wonderful weekend!

What a great idea, Lynn. Brings back memories of my girls when they were little and taking ballet lessons. I just found a pair of Katie's dance shoes yesterday in a box I was going through. Now I have an idea how to display them.
Lynn, are you too busy?
Have a great week!!
What a clever idea! You always have such creative ideas to share and inspire. Have a wonderful week friend!
Oh Lynn, forget about putting those slippers out as decoration...id like to put them on my aching feet!
That is a good idea, if you add just the right thing the room transforms, you are so creative, have a great week.
I love the ballet slippers...a simply beautiful post.
