Have I mentioned that I love butterflies?

It's true. I do love butterflies and have done for as long as I can remember. I'm not entirely sure why but I just find them endlessly captivating. I've even been known to dress up as a butterfly on occasion. I also have a bit of a thing for collective nouns and I love that the collective noun for butterflies is kaleidoscope. A kaleidoscope of butterflies. How gorgeous! I really like kaleidoscopes too as it happens, but that's a whole different tangent...

Anyway, where was I going with that thought when I started? Oh yes, I like them - we're back to the butterflies now - I like them a lot. And, although I do not want to surround myself with all things butterflied to the extent that I am living in a theme world, I am often attracted to goodies that incorporate a butterfly motif.

I've recently had my eye on these:

Delight woolfelt butterfly lampshade from Ecocentric

Butterfly mobile (love, love, love mobiles too!) from feinedinge

Butterfly necklace by Soremi at NotOnTheHighStreet

Felt butterfly baby booties from Joujoux at Esty (for my niece, although I'd definitely wear them if they were big enough)

And these delicious bags from Poppy Treffry

All of the above, I'd love to own.

But a little butterfly goes a long way, I feel. So perhaps not these:




But then who knows? If I ever make it to the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, I too might go a little overboard on the butterfly thing. (Actually, I quite like the purple one!)
