Why do I chose ladybug or ladybird as a theme of my collection?
Well here's the informative reason..
When I was in college, lots of my friends have their own collections of stuff.. I remembered one of my friends is collecting Hello Kitty stuff which is really cute ^^, the other one is collecting Frog stuff and so on. And in addition to that my aunt,too is collecting Sunflower stuff. It was cool because when I visited her house I saw her kitchen full of sunflower things from kitchen utensils to decorations. Her kitchen is so cute and flowery! hehehe
And so I decided to try collecting something... but what?!
Of course, first thing that came into my mind was INTERNET. hehehe
I searched and searched... because I thought I don't want to just collect something which has a cute theme, I want to collect something which is cute and symbolic... then BOOM! Ladybug it is!!!
Ladybug is a sign of luck. In some countries it is a sign of love. In some Asian countries, they believe that when you caught a ladybug and released it, the ladybug will fly to your true love and whisper your name to his/her ears.. hehe isn't that amazing? hihi.
It is also said that when a ladybug lands on you, your wishes will come true but it depends on the ladybug's spots. Why? because it is said that the spots indicate how many months you are going to wait before your wishes will come true . For Irish, ladybug is a sign of protection.
The name Ladybug arise in Europe in Middle Ages, when pests were destroying the farmers' crops. It was said that farmers prayed to Virgin Mary to help them. After they prayed, ladybugs appeared. They ate the pests and save the farmers' crops from devastation. From then on, the farmers call the ladybug as "The Beetle of Our Lady".
Aside from having lots of symbolism, Ladybug is such a cutie! I love the combination of red and black. Moreover, there are only few people who are collecting ladybug stuff right?! ^^. Also it is a symbol of LUCK! hihihi (✿◠‿◠)
And those are the reasons why I started collecting Ladybug things ^^. Anyway, here are some photos of my collections:
