Happy Halloween!

"By pumpkins fat

and witches lean,

By coal black cats

with eyes of green,

By all the magic ever seen . . .

I wish you luck this Halloween."

Another Pair of Ballet Shoes

I have so much fun making these up-cycled ballet slippers! 

The blue pair has sold so I've created this pearly white pair. 

My backyard fence is one of my favorite backgrounds for photos. 

I love old wood that has been weathered to a lovely gray.

I have another pair or two that are ready to be painted. 
Now if I could just decide on the color.

Charming Upcycled Ballet Slippers

I saw a pair of up-cycled ballet slippers on one of my favorite blogs  The Feathered Nest 

They were so cute I had to make a pair too! 

As luck would have it I had a pair of pink ballet shoes in my stash.I have to admit, painting them was a bit more time consuming than I had anticipated as they required several coats.

I love the way they turned out. 

 

These are listed in my Etsy shop.
