Ballet Bar!

Just another reason why I LOVE charity shops!!! (And yard sales, when I'm in the USA)

I can't afford to get Moriah ballet lessons, so I bought a ballet video from Love to Learn. She had the video, a leotard, and slippers, but she didn't have a bar. I looked on the internet, but everything was too expensive. I looked for things I could make into a suitable bar, but nothing was working out. So I finally told her just to hold onto the fireplace guard, and I sort of put it on my list of things to ask the Lord for. Months go by, and I decide to visit some charity shops (since I had a bit of cash on me). I went into one called DebRA (my name!), and there it was! A plastic but sturdy ballet bar! It didn't have a price, so I asked the guy at the counter. He said, "How about 2 quid?" (Quid is British way of saying "bucks"). I was sooooooo thrilled! Moriah happened to be with me, and she was sooooooo thrilled! Now she's begging to do her ballet video everyday. She loves using it! By the way, DebRA is a charity that helps people in the UK who have a genetic skin blistering condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa.
