My friend Jenny sent me the current "early spring"issue of COUNTRY GARDENS... It's FaBuLouS!!! She knew I would love it because of ALL the Floral Flower Frogs & other vintage garden related items!*!*! Here are some pics from my personal collection...
I have a good number of my "smaller-sized" flower frogs in a little greenhouse of sort ~ made from old windows with glass... Most of my views are from the side ~ too much glare through the glass panes...
I lined the bottom of the "greenhouse" with old cream city bricks & added a bit of green moss for contrast. I also tossed in a few of my miniature vintage watering cans... Oddly enough, those tiny little vintage watering cans sell for a good dollar ~ probably because they were either "toys" -or- salesmen's samples...
***Most Loved Flower Frog*** Quite unusual!*!*!
Some of the flower frogs still came with their original boxes...
Most of the flower frogs were secured to the bottom of a vase with "Floral Clay"... I was lucky enough find this old box... Love the graphics... Floral Clay also works great for securing candles...
This is my FaVoRiTe Box!*!*! Floral stem wrapping tape... A nice "go-with" item...
These are all so great!

ReplyDeleteIn the bridal ceremony of my sister I noticed beautiful sprays of roses and flowers engaged in the shape of frogs which is something very uncommon in a wedding.
ReplyDeleteHi,I am looking to buy these,where can I find it?I am majorly interested in the antique ones
ReplyDeleteI am also a collector of frogs but am struggling with an attractive way to display them... your green house appears to be perfect. Some day I'll find the perfect wire basket I hope. Do you collect the glass ones as well? I have a lot of those but just buy the metal ones now.
