WIRED....THE VINTAGE WAY!

Wire Ribbon

I know there are many meanings for the word "wired" in our world today, however I like the vintage kind of "wired" best!

                               FLOWER FROG

Just look at this wonderful old flower frog!  Perfect for holding office pens, art brushes, makeup brushes...or flowers.

                                Wire Basket

Can you just picture this basket with little bottles, each holding a single flower....or filled with small towels in a bath, cloth napkins at an outdoor dinner...or? 

                             Antique French Wire Church

I love this old wire church or school sculpture, what a great item to decorate around...

                                Wire Egg Basket

I know this is for eggs, and that would look great...but imagine it filled with old spheres...croquet balls,  glass floats, or grundgy baseballs...how fun would that be?

                          Wire In and Out Basket

I have several of these old wire office baskets...I use them to store all kinds of items, even paper!

Just click on the name beneath each photo to be taken to the item and the shop it can be purchased from....

How do your Repurpose a Flower Frog? And What is a Flower Frog anyway????

Flower frogs have been around for many, many years.  Originally  used for flower arranging, they are meant to sit in the bottom of your vase or your bowl and the stems of the flowers are then placed inside the small holes or on the pins.

Since flower frogs have been replaced by a foam as a way to stabilize a flower arrangement here are some great flower frogs and ways to use them today :)

The metal flower frogs with pins (very sharp pins!) are great for displaying photos or vacation postcards, cards, name place cards at a dinner party, holding a recipe while you are cooking....

Flower frogs can also be glass, clear or colored with large round holes in them....these holes are great for holding a variety of items....in your office or home...

If I collected marbles I would love to display them in a clear glass flower frog!

There is such a variety of flower frogs that no matter your decor there will be one that is perfect....
