Today while walking around London we happened to run across the retail store of Freed of London.  Freed is the ballet shoes I wear.  A wonderful woman by the name of Beth Chivers help us out with a fitting.  Even though I have a brand new set of pointe shoes, when we learned that cost of them at the store we had to get another pair.   The cost of my  pointe shoes in California is $97 and at this store its about $45.  I also picked up some other items.  I didn’t realize how lucky we got since this is the only Freed of London retail store in the world!!!
