Ballet Pointe Shoes - New Arrivals

This lovely pair of used pointe shoes exhibits the long hard hours and work put into perfecting the art of ballet. Worn by a real ballerina, they have frayed, blackened edges, loosened stitches, and the most beautiful marks to display the work of an artist. They have been in countless classes, rehearsals, and performances and truly show an immense amount of vintage features with their delicate appearance. Although they are now considered "dead," or **no longer able to be danced in,** these pointe shoes can be utilized in all sorts of crafty, dreamy ways! Including...-baby showers-Christmas present (think of The Nutcracker!)-hanging over a mirror-weddings-hanging on a pretty hook/board on a wall-stuffed with flowers-crafting, painting, embellishments, etc.-signaturesAnd so much more!About this pair:Like every pair of pointe shoes, none of them are exactly the same. Some have markings in different places than others or another type of ribbons/elastic. Listed below are the unique details for this particular pair of shoes. Brand: CapezioStyle: AvasPen Markings on the inside of left foot: the letter “L”Pen Marking on the inside of right foot: the letter “R”

You might see John around town, he still drives an electric car, “ because it makes sense, and they are so quiet” but walking or riding his bike are now much limited. The city’s development attracts John’s attention, and he is sure to attend community meetings about city planning. He is not too happy with how his city has changed. There is too much traffic, he says, and too many new buildings. The speed limit on Sunnyvale Avenue is 30 mph, but vehicles zoom by much faster, making him feel unsafe. He has petitioned the city to install flashing lights to discourage speeding, but so far, nothing has happened. Since Taaffe and Frances Streets have been closed off, all the traffic runs through Sunnyvale Avenue, which has become very busy.
