Otter and Butterfly Sanctuary Visit Part 1

Hiya!

A couple weeks ago I visited the Otter and Butterfly sanctuary in Buckfastleigh, Devon. Today I am going to focus on the Butterflies and I have to say it was one of the best experiences for me as you get to walk into a HUGEE greenhouse filled with exotic butterflies and moths. 

The house is really warm and filled with plants and flowers for the butterflies and moths to thrive, live and breed just as they would in the wild. You obviously can't touch them as that would be bad for them but they do land on you and you can get up close to them.

You can also see them before they are butterflies in form of caterpillars and larvae. There is also hundred of cocoons of all sizes hanging from trees getting ready to birth a beautiful butterfly or moth :)

Inside the Butterfly house there is also a huge lake for Terrapins and massive Koi carp.

I had the best time, I love being able to be so close and interactive with animals so this was a wonderful experience. I can't wait to show you the Otters too, they were so funny and crazy!

September Round-Up

Autumn is in full swing now and I love it!

Here is a roundup of my September and what's to come in October: 

My boss-eyed buddy has been sitting in the bath with me again. I love his little face so much!
I love this ugly fish transfer tattoo (I almost wish he was real) which I was sent along with a few other cool designs from Fickle Tattoos.
A few new home additions.
The butterfly/moth ceramic coasters (I mentioned them here) from my Auntie, A cactus letter holder from my Mumma and a cute little trinket box c/o Casey English.
I re-did my pink and purple hair.
I was asked if I had any festive baking tips for Rodda's to feature on their packaging leading upto Christmas. I gave them a tip and they decided to use it! I got this amazing package as a thankyou and my tip is in-stores now! I really hope I find it on the shelves!
The pack included clotted cream and Cornish butter but obviously they went right to the fridge.
I got a pin-board for a bargainous £3 in WHSmiths. I added some mermaid looking sequins and some cute patterned fabric as a border to jolly it up a bit.  
October is right here and it is my faveourite month! I will be decorating the house in a Halloween theme and also have lots of Halloween DIY's and outfit posts at the ready!

Hope September has been awesome for you!
