for this week's curated life feature i'm sharing one of my longest running collections- vintage flower frogs. i've been gathering frogs since i was a teenager and while i prefer the more utilitarian, industrial styles, i never cease to be amazed at how many different materials and designs flower frogs come in. from ceramic, to glass, metal, plastic, and even ornate decorative pottery styles, there's a frog for every taste.
there are many ways to make use of frogs, the most obvious being their intended purpose- arranging flowers! Martha Stewart has a
helpful video if you're interested in learning to use frogs in your floral arrangements.
beyond their original function, frogs can be used to organize items, display things, and can even made into wall art. Haylie from
H.B. Goods had a DIY featured on
Design Sponge last year where she shows us how to create a functional and lovely wall display using frogs.
frogs can even be used as functional household items. my good friend Melissa at re.stock uses frogs as soap dishes.
beautiful, useful, affordable- frogs are easy to find and make for great collections. here's a look at my own collection...
