My mom brought me a little happy present yesterday and I had NO idea what it was. She handed me this sharp, old, rusty looking thing and I fell in love with it before I even discovered its original purpose. I thought I knew a lot about old things but this one stumped me. What was it? A miniature bed of nails? Antique acupuncture tool? Military grade torturing device? I mean come on! This thing is sharp! What was it you ask? A vintage flower frog! Seriously? I cannot believe I didn't know this.....
I have a feeling this is going to be my newest obsession on my thrifting excursions.
Look at this thing! Isn't it cute?
I am using it for my business cards...........................
and it can be a used as a new way to display photos..........
Have you seen these used in any other way? If you have, I want to hear about it!
I have collected flower frogs and have one just like this. I've used it for photos. Now I'll have to use it for my business card! :) Be careful, though, they're addicting!

I use flower frogs for photos and displaying vintage post cards. I bet you'll see them everywhere now!
ReplyDeleteWow! I guess the consensus is frog. I was going to guess it was a felting tool.
ReplyDeleteThat 's funny. I just bought two of those at an estate sale this morning and wasn't sure what they were. You just saved me some research!

Love the frog! Your pictures looks great displayed that way...:))
ReplyDeleteI, too, collect frogs. I bet it could be used as a felting tool, though the "prongs" are pretty thick. I find them (SPOILER!!) by reaching inside old containers I think could have held flowers. They are addictive to collect. The info imprinted on the bottoms is cool, too.

Does anyone else collect Lady Head Vases? I kind of got saturated with them, and haven't bought one in about ten years.
