Ballerina

[jennyjoan]

many years ago many years - my family used to visit 2 old aunts - one was the real aunt the other a friend of the aunt. ( l adored the aunt that was not mine) but truly hated the real aunt as the rest of my family.

They always had this beautiful ornament A ballerina covered in a glass top and when you winded the ballerina began to dance - the aunt that wasn't mine told me when she died she was leaving it to me.

Unfortunately the good aunt died before the other aunt and this aunt took dementia so immediately family ie nieces and newphews would have got this. Have you ever seen anything like this. Thanks

I never forgot it - anybody seen anything like this - thanks

Yes. I don't know if you can still buy them but I bet you'd find one in an antique shop. Good luck with that.
