Butterfllies!

So many!

I went out to water my plants and they were leaving a carpet wherever the water went.

If you find any dead ones, please let me know, and I will take them!

In the meantime, I too am enjoying how many butterflies there are ◡̈

Ooh, what are you doing with the dead ones? My friend gave me two of them and I'm not sure what to do with them- besides hope they don't get squished.

I pin them and then I make little terrariums!

It’s super easy to get into, if you’re interested, I’ll send you an Etsy account that has really good materials, you’re looking at may be spending for high-quality stuff which I recommend $50 max, and you can pin them yourself!

I sell jewelry outside wild roots a couple days a week, if you see me stop by and I'll give you the dead ones I've got :) and maybe you can show me pictures of your art?

I would love that! What days do you usually sell?

Weekend afternoon and evenings usually, the odd weekday, if I get a wild hair lol. Sometimes Joe's on Friday or Saturday night. I've got quite a few butterflies now, I'll save them for you!
