A night at the ballet.


On Friday night my handsome and amazing husband had a surprise for me. I knew nothing about where we were going or what we'd been doing but I was told to get all dolled up. This excited me to no end as getting dressed up is quite possibly one of my favorite things to do. When the cab asked "Where to?"  and Benjamin answered "Seattle Center." I immediately knew we were going to the ballet! The ballet being performed was Coppelia and it was as humorous as it was beautiful. What made it even more special for me was the fact that my Sewing Construction teacher from my school actually had a hand in creating the gorgeous costumes for the show. One day she actually brought a few pieces from the show to class and  we were able to view them up close and touch them! You would not believe the amount of work and detail that goes into the corsets, skirts, and head pieces. It is truly amazing to see. It was indeed a good night!
