Gran's Butterfly Garden
My grandmother loved butterflies, especially one huge monarch that often came to visit. When I was a child she found an old worn sundial and put it in the backyard. Then she transplanted from nearby woods the wildflowers the butterflies loved best to make herself a butterfly garden. Last Spring I took MY grandchildren back to visit the gravesite near the old homestead, and we visited the butterfly garden...I couldn't believe it, it looked just as I remembered it. I have beaded this version of Gran's Butterfly Garden, which is my Timeless Treasure.Thanks Jeannette Shanigan and Suzanne Cooper for permission to use your butterfly designs in my beadwork.

An enameled button shaped like a lily pad complete with a frog makes the perfect clasp for this perpetually blooming garden.
