Be unique like a butterfly

Butterflies are my favourite and I love seeing them on my things. I love the shape, the colours, the patterns. They are all so unique, so delicate and so beautiful. I have so many butterflies on my stuff it’s unbelievable. I have butterflies on my cushions, a couple of purses, a handbag, a rucksack, quite a few necklaces, my vanity case, quite a few tops, and I do have my gorgeous butterfly tree light. I see butterflies as a timeless classic in terms of design. We see many animals and creatures come and go as far as trends go, but butterflies are one of those constant themes that people never tire of. They never propel to the top of the trends, but they are always there, and they never leave.

It is no wonder that butterflies can be found near enough on everything, but I actually found it quite tricky to find the truly quirky pieces. I hope I’ve done my favourite theme justice with this post. Some people believe that butterflies are a sign of loved ones popping by to say hello, I love this idea, especially as butterflies seem like such peaceful creatures.

I would say this first find is my proudest find, it is lacking in colour (although you can get it in yellow too!) but boy does it make up for it in style. I honestly think that if I won the lottery today, this would be the first thing on my shopping list, especially as I actually do need a bench for the garden anyway! This would look fab in a conservatory too if you wanted to protect it from the weather. Easily the most stunning bench I have ever ever ever seen, and I have fancies quite a few quirky ones over the years.

This next find is a little cutie. I do love rose gold at the moment, and I don’t own a stirrer so this could be an easy thing for Mr Quirky to add to his Christmas shopping list this year! I love the way it just sits there delicately on the edge of the cup. This is exactly the type of quirky you would find in my house, I love it.

This butterfly shelf is gorgeous, it looks like slate but it’s actually made from wood. Advertised as a crystal shelf, which, if you’re into crystals would be a stunning use of it, but could be used for little trinkets, ornaments or candles. This is such an unusual shape for a shelf and 100% deserves to be in this post.

This adorable pink butterfly table is a bedroom must-have surely, especially for little girls. There is also a white version, but the pink wins it in my view. So pretty, so girly, it’s absolutely fabulous, and I actually would have bought it if I had my own room!!

This butterfly mask is not your every day item so you’re probably wondering why I’ve added it in to this post. But it is a stunning work of art, and if you were every invited to a masked ball (some people still have them!) this would be such a unique mask, so delicate and beautiful. It might be a bit weird for the school run, but in the right environment, this would be a show-stopper.

I am extremely tempted to buy this sun catcher for myself. My birthday is coming up, so if no-one gets it for me, I might have to treat myself! I love the butterfly shape of course, but I adore the fact that it has real pressed flowers in the glass, and the colours are so gorgeous. So apart from a picnic table, this is up there at the top of my birthday wishlist!

If I had seen these butterfly wing chair ties before our Wedding, I think I might have gone all Bridezilla and demanded that I have them! These are absolutely gorgeous, other colours available too. They’re so magical, yes, they do have like a fairy kind of vibe going on too, but whether they be for a fairy or butterfly theme, they are amazing. If you’re planning a huge event whether it be a party or a Wedding, and you want to make your room look all enchanted and beautiful, if I were you, I’d go for these!

I’m going to calm myself down a bit now after all that raving about the last find, and which better way to calm ones mind but with the colour blue. This stunning butterfly lamp comes in many different colours, and I would normally go for the multi-coloured, but with these lamps, this was the one that drew me in. Stunningly quirky, but I can imagine it sitting there quite comfortably in a more subtly designed bedroom or study. This has a calm, relaxing beauty, and oh man, I want this too!!

Not sure if I could have done with butterflies post without adding a little jewellery into the mix. So many sparkly and colourful pieces to choose from, but this one is the one I’d be most likely to wear, especially to a special occasion like a Wedding, it would make the plainest of outfits pop don’t you think? I love turquoises and teals so this is the perfect colour for me.

Now this next find is in here because it is an extremely brave design for a dress. I am not sure if I could pull this type of dress off (I mean, I could take it off, but not pull it off, you know what I mean!) The colours are unusual but so butterfly-like, it really is a stunning design. If I’m honest, I think if this came in other colours rather than the yellow / orange, I would potentially give it a go, either teals or pinks would be gorgeous, red would be striking coupled with red lipstick too!

I have a handbag with silver glitter butterflies all over it, and I desperately wanted to find a butterfly bag to include here, I went passed many beautiful bags, stunning colours etc, but then this one is the one that got my attention. Although it’s not a bright colour, the goth design is striking, very unusual…and we don’t do normal here do we? so I think this clutch is the perfect fit for this particular post.

I am so glad I found a butterfly shoe to include. These would look stunning with a little black dress. This is where accessories can really make an outfit stand out. It wouldn’t surprise me if I saw these on the red carpet somewhere, they look very modern and stylish, but the butterfly, that’s what earns it my adoration!

These vintage-looking photo frames combine my two loves of butterflies and sparkly! I love the elegant style and colouring and the quirky shape is so perfect, but the sparkly crystals around the edges gives them an extra touch of class. I even love how the tips if the wings act like legs to help them stand.

Last but not least, this gorgeous, quirky and oh so stylish butterfly back chair. It also comes in pink or dark teal but I thought this white was the most striking funnily enough. This is the colour that would match most decors, and it has a kind of Grecian look to it, it is absolutely fit for a Goddess! Advertised as a make-up / vanity stool, which would be fabulous use for it, especially in a lavish dressing room. But, I also think it would look lovely in a conservatory or breakfast room or even on a balcony with a little table. An exquisite design, and I just know you’ll love it as much as I do.

And there goes the end of another quirky post. Do you love butterflies? Surely I can’t be the only fan! Butterflies are the most beautiful of creatures of all, and I will always be like a magnet to true beauty. Butterflies are unique, they have their own designs, and so do we. Be happy with your own design, be unique…like a butterfly!
