Not too long ago my attention was captured by all the horseshoes in home decor - inspired by the new experience of seeing my sister-in-law’s horses shod.  Recently my interest was piqued by butterflies in my garden and now I’ve started noticing them everywhere!  Butterflies seem to flit past my eyes not only in the garden, but also on clothing, as jewelry, and in home decor!  In case you haven’t noticed all the butterfiles yet, I’ve gathered up a few from around the Internet.  Take a look at just the few butterfly items available  for your home:
