Welcome to Pink Saturday !!

A Ballerina or a Princess?

When Lady Diana Spencer was younger,

she was asked what she'd like to be when she grew up.

Diana thought for a minute and then replied,

"I think I would like to be a ballerina."

And then laughingly added,

"or perhaps the Princess of Wales."

A few years passed, and it became apparent

that one of her childhood dreams was about to come true.

"I grew too tall to be a Ballerina.

I was taller than all the boys."

Diana

Princess of Wales

Thank you Beverly at 'How Sweet the Sound'

for making Pink Saturday an eye candy adventure.

Be sure to visit her for the other blogs

for great Pink Saturday Posts.

I know all about her fascination, when I was a little girl,

maybe 9 - 12 years old, I took tons of classes,

I filled a couple of books with my sketches

of everything Ballet....toe shoes, tutu's, in practice, in shows,

hands...I know now I would say....obsessed!!

Back then, I thought I was in heaven,

I spent so much time in the Library

and book store, borrowing or purchasing

so many books with charming depictions

of the wonderful word of the ballerina.

I grew up with this fabulous poster

on my wall among others.

My bedroom was painted pink

and decorated with ballet goodies.

The day I moved out, my mom painted my room white.

Have a blissful weekend and a glorious Pink Saturday!!

Keep your dreams alive!!

Hugs, Nerina :)
