Summer has gotten just balmy enough to bring out the bugs... oh joy. If only the little critters that sneak into my casa were as glittery and beautiful as these, perhaps we'd become better friends.
This lovely plique a jour antique a vec 1st Dibbs Antique Dealer could capture anyone's heart... but we all know that butterflies aren't so difficult to love... but how about a Stag Beetle?
From the treasure troves of A La Vieille Russie we get this sparkling personality. Everything is so dainty and tasteful until we get to the pinchers! Yikes!.... oh well, isn't that just like most "pretty" things in life? If you'll pardon a bit of dark-ish cynicism.
We continue our tour de force with a diamond bumble-bee from Van Cleef & Arpels.... and a glitzy pair of beetle cufflinks from Kentshire.

Well... maybe if Willy Wonka were king of the universe, my be-jeweled insect idea would be but into action in the cosmos. Until then... keep swatting, friends.
