I've had a life-long fascination with butterflies and have collected them since I was 15. They just have a ethereal, magical quality about them. Somehow life just seems in harmony whenever they are around. Perhaps the secret to happiness is to surround yourself with butterflies - especially the best kind of butterflies, the ones you get in your stomach after an unexpected kiss.





One of my own secret skills is a knack for cutting out paper butterflies, I've been doing it since my early teens when I would cut them out for my younger sister to stick on my inside of her bedside lamp shade. My heart fluttered when I discovered Paul Villinski's 'Beer Can Butterflies" through {ThisIsGlamorous} some time ago and I've been in love with them ever since. In fact, they've inspired a little installation art piece of my own at home (also a little bit of wedding decor...)
