Trend Alert: Butterflies

I've had an admiration for butterflies ever since I was a young girl. What has always captivated me about these tiny creatures are their unique color combinations and perfect patterns. They are graceful and delicate and can be a great source for inspiration in design! Butterflies are making their way back in to the world of fashion and interior design which makes me smile :)

  2. Pretty butterflies :-) My favourites are the painting with the two canvases, the pillow with the purple butterflies, and the bedding.

    I saw a beautiful sari fabric last week -- bright purple with colourful embroidered butterflies. If I had a place to use it, I would have bought a yard or two :-)

    Did you see the shop window on Top Design with the butterfly theme?? It was quite striking:

  9. I think that butterflies are beautiful too. I like watching their colorful patterns and delicate dances.

    These are pretty pieces, thanks for posting. The bowl, plate and serving set caught my attention.
