Butterfly Collectors
Butterflies mean different things to different people: a fresh start, a loved one's memory, a summer afternoon in the garden. That is exactly why Limoges butterfly boxes make such meaningful gifts. They suit graduations, birthdays, recoveries, remembrances and plain old just-because moments. Each one is hinged, hand-painted in France and arrives gift-boxed, and unlike the real thing, it stays put on the dresser.
Look for a monarch with a brass flower, a mini yellow butterfly and butterflies resting on daisies and blossoms. Hearts in blue and gold perch on brass stands, and a butterfly decorates a tiny cup and saucer and a petite teapot. Cats get in on the fun, batting at butterflies from the grass or lounging beneath them. Ladybugs and a mini bee flutter nearby, and a perfume bottle box blooms with roses and wings. Every wing is painted with the patience of a summer afternoon.
Fittingly, a group of butterflies is sometimes called a kaleidoscope. Collectors love building one by color, starting with blues and adding golds, yellows and whites until the display shimmers. They look stunning on a mirrored vanity tray, among potted orchids or in a glass curio near a sunny window. For a sentimental tradition, add one each spring to mark a new beginning or a cherished memory. Spread your wings.
