Bug Under Glass is one of my newest etsy obsessions. I came across the shop while looking for a vintage taxidermy butterfly and definitely hit the jackpot! Bug Under Glass is filled with beautiful butterflies of every color and species. Kevin, the artisan, is an insect researcher and educator. All of his work is built to museum standards and come in sealed archival displays.
I love the way he's styled the photos for his shop:
Some of my favorites are the butterflies on vintage maps. So unique!
Apparently I'm not the only one with a love for butterflies. Here are some images I saved from two of my favorite blogs.
Check out Fallon from A Lovely Being's desk. So many inspiring things:
Kate from the Neo-Traditionalist shared this photo of her bookshelf a while back. As usual, the styling is perfect:
Here are a few more I pulled from my inspiration files:
what a beautiful compilation of photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful little additions! I am going to have to add some of those beauties to my home! Have you read 'The Girl of The Liberlost'? One of my favorite books growing up about a girl that lived in the woods. Anyway, read it, it is charming!
