I caught a glimpse of one of these on Ebay the other day.... and, it got me thinking about some older, more simpler times in my life.
As I used to have something *just like this* when I was a little child. And I always enjoyed looking at it.... as it was a rather pleasant thing to have - on one's counter top, kitchen table, or - even my work desk.
It was a gift that I received one time, (many years ago) from someone dear to me - that I took very good care of.... and in turn, I kept it for many years.
The butterfly itself wasn't real, as were the flowers.... and in a way - it made me feel a bit less guilty about having it, knowing that nothing got hurt to make it.... which in a way - made me enjoy it much more. 🦋
Right before I went into High School though - my parents decided to move us all into another home; and - I haven't seen it ever since then.... (perhaps it's been just sitting in storage all this time) or perhaps - they lost it or damaged it in the move, and didn't tell me...... eh - who knows.
But in any case, it's often times the "little things in life" (like this) that I try to appreciate a lot of times.... and - this is especially true whenever I have any difficulties that I'm encountering.... or am really busy, or - even when I'm dealing with some troubling concerns in my life.
I'd love to get another one like this someday.... but unfortunately, they're rather expensive items now (as they're considered antiques) a lot of times..... and aren't really something I can afford anymore.
But.... some wallpaper of it (on my desktop currently), can certainly do the trick also ☺.... even though it's not really the same thing. 🦋
