Retro Butterflies

I often go outdoors with my children in the summer to relax near our garden among the trees. I often see an array of lovely butterflies as they dance with colorful elegance across the sky and onto our flowers. There is nothing like the musical symmetry of a butterfly in the sun. So, let's celebrate the beauty of summer with these decadent antiques. Here are the links to a few examples of etsy's vintage butterfly collection from various shops. Enjoy!
