My daughter asked me last summer why I bought a used ballet slipper at an antique store - the answer is, to take pictures of it and use it for photo collages, of course. This week's Every Inchie Monday's theme is dance, I immediately thought of my ballet shoe.

The ballet slippers are so sweet. What a fortuitous buy the turned out to be. Perfect for this inchie.
Well, of course I would have to wrestle you to be first to buy a used ballet slipper ! YOur daughter doesn't know you very well if she has to ask why... LOL:)

I'm amazed that you can get so much clarity shrinking a photo. Gorgeous.

I'm impressed. You really do plan ahead, don't you? Hey, I have a 45-year old bowling shoe which I can send you. Any interest? LOL

Well of course! Why else? They are wonderful shoes -- I see all sorts of potential. But this one is charming!

This one is gorgeous, Joanne! As Kris said, you could sell prints of this one to be framed.
