~ Set of 3 Vintage Flower Frogs ~

Mary Mary Quite Contrary How does your garden Grow ?...With Beautiful Blooms and Lovely Pictures all in a Row ..

Who would have thought so many years ago ..that flower frogs would have more purpose than just holding a beautiful Bloom in place ..That's what makes the world a sweeter place ..new innovations with old finds ..

We recently aquired this sweet old set of frogs at an estate sale... and of course what we loved was they were just perfection stacked in a set of 3 ... A Round ..an oval a Round ...

This set has several ways of displaying them.

Just as they are stacked ..with a single photo or piece of antique ephemera placed in the top By adding a few twigs to create a holder ..Or set them all astray each off at an angle and add several photos and ephemera of different heights and shapes and you'll have quite a stunning display ... Or Prepare for spring and all those lovely blooms that will be popping out all over the place ..and fill your vases full of arrangements held in place with some vintage frogs... Place your children or Granchildrens photos in them ..or even add them into the Kitchen Decor ..they are wonderful for holding recipes. They also make really cool candle holders ..with their spiky tops it's easy to push in in some tapers ..and you have a really cool look !! To remove the candle wax ..just place in freezer ..then use a knife to free it once hardened.

Whatever your choice this set is sure to be a delight !!!

They Measure:

Large Round: 3.25 inches in diameter

Medium Oval: 3.75 inches in diameter

Small Round: 1.25 inches in diameter

This ever so sweet Pair of Garden Charmers are a Sweet Magnolias Farm Garden Favorite.

We found these on one of our long journeys scavenging for goodies and be still our hearts ..there were these two little garden bugs.

Ever so adorable they are in Beautiful condition and date to the late 1940's as they are marked on the bottom, Occupied Japan.

Every time we look at this set they put a smile on our faces ...there is a little girl bug and a little boy bug ..He is playing the saxaphone and she the violin.

They each have adorable green bodies ..Little brown feet and each have adorable wings ..His blue with black spots ..hers yellow with green shading. Oh and he has a little mustard shade bowler hat on ..while she wears a white with blue polk-a-dots scarf around her head ...

In all our years of collecting we have never come upon another set like them. So we consider them quite unique.

You would think by their size they were S&P's But no ..they are simply too too sweet garden figurines.

They Each measure a mere 3 in. T x 2in. W x 2in. D
