Vintage Flower Frog

Hi Everyone
Happy Thursday

Do you know what this is?
It is a very large vintage galvanized flower frog
It is so large that I have been using it as a door stop 


Today I popped two different hydrangeas from the garden in it and
{Love}  the look
I think I will be using it for flowers now too


 The texture and feel of the galvanized frog
with the delicate flowers
is a fabulous contrast




The hydrangeas look
soft and lacy



  I  added a few
white iceberg roses


Now I have to find a vase large enough to put the frog in .....

  3. :D I posted about flower frogs earlier in the week, but I have not ever seen one that large. Too, too cool!!! I am looking for some to help Shelley and me organize our art studio. I want one for drying brushes, one for colored pencils, one for drawing pencils, and one for flowers (of course)....

    Great post! :D

  5. very cool frog. you probably have thought of this already, but you could occasionally just put a small clear glass bowl of water under the frog and use it as you did for the photos, with just a blossom or two...i don't think you'd even notice it. and maybe you did this already and in that case just totally ignore me. lol!

  7. I came from your linky on our Show Off Your Cottage Monday to ask if we could showcase your flowers on our next SOYCM, but couldn't find our link here, so I'm not sure if I'm living my comment on the right spot! ;) Any way, may you have a lovely weekend...
