great lbj mugs!

Nov. 17, 2009 at 4:11 p.m. FairyDecos

Interesting picks. Most of them looks fine, but this butterfly bottle thing looks improper to me. I love butterflies and I agree, that they bring to us a lot of joy, happiness and love. But if I see those beautiful wings in a little bottle I feel a real pain inside of me. I don´t like a thought that inside this little bottle are one of my favourite creature -not so alive- wings...

I am sorry, but it seems unfair to me..
