After I posted the dragonfly pictures and video yesterday, I started thinking about how we incorporate elements of nature into interior design and decor, jewelry, and all sorts of accessories, both for our homes and for our wardrobes. And as I wandered around my house, I realized that my love of dragonflies extends far beyond my picture taking.
These are the pulls in my master bathroom. I bought them 4 years ago at Lowes to dress up the all white vanity. I never noticed it before, but their shadow casts a golden glow behind them when the sun hits them during the day, so pretty!
I love how designers will take something in nature and create a beautiful item for us to adorn ourselves or our homes with...
Like these earrings which I've had for years. I wore them yesterday without even thinking about it since they are a favorite of mine.
Or this carved rock that sits on my back patio. My in-laws gave it to me a few years ago, and I love the color and the dragonfly motif!
Apparently this little dragonfly sensed my love of his or her brethren...maybe it was the earrings?!
I even have dragonfly notecards. This lovely set from Papyrus was a gift from my daughter. I love how the gold foil accents the details of the dragonfly!
I'm also happy Jo, that you saw the post yesterday, but I'm sorry I made you cry! :-( Please send me an email if you get the chance, I have a little something I would like to send you.
