It is that time of year when the butterflies are always present in our yard...unfortunately Kesey is trying his best to chase them all away, but our colorful flowers keep luring them back! They are truly the most beautiful insects and I love watching them flutter about from flower to flower. We have seen some really unique ones and I'm starting to get inspired...

I see a butterfly collection of glass being made in the near future!!!

This one, made with bullseye glass, is beautiful...

For the Love of Quotes...

I love quotes. Quotes from lyrics, speeches, celebrities, even my friends and family have said some rather witty things over the years that deserve to be shared! I've decided to add quotes to my blog, but I realize that a quote-of-the day is rather ambitious for someone who has a hard time with commitment!! So, I am promising that you will find them woven throughout, whenever I feel compelled (or have the time ;) to add one! I hope you enjoy!!!

I have to act just as strong as I can

Just to preserve a place

I am in love...this is awesome and the sections are small enough that something similar could be done in our kiln!!!

I also really like this one for a modern kitchen.
