I'll bare all here and tell you that I used to collect flower frogs ~ weird, I know! But I discovered them way back when, when Mr. CBD and I would frequent flea markets and antique stores with a mission ~ to find flower frogs, salt cellars and McCoy pottery. He probably could have cared less, but he helped me hunt for my collectibles anyway. These junking adventures took place B.C., or "Before Children." But I was so pleasantly surprised to find this beauty that I had to stop and take notice. And for $1.99 (not a typo) I kind of had to say yes!
It's quite heavy sturdy, and a bit chippy (yay!) so I'm thrilled. And with a little spring inspiration she's ready to roll.
Since it IS White Wednesday and all I had to add my other white beauty ~ a white, chippy Club G.W. flower urn. I think it was, like, $2.99. They go well together, don't you think? Another heavy sturdy piece that I will enjoy for a long time to come. (Hydrangeas never go out of style!)
I'm probably pretty late to the party, but that shouldn't stop you from going on over there and saying howdy to some of those fabulous bloggers who've also shared their White Wednesday goodies.
Yup........flower frogs. Look it up!

Nice find and great price. I have never seen one like that before.
Thanks for stopping by. Sounds like you really had a bad situation with the flooding. I just can't imagine.
Enjoy your day.
Beautiful piece! The urn is great too. One could easily get addicted to those urns! Thanks for coming by and entering my giveaway and have a great day!
I actually think flower frogs are very cool too! I have several, but have not seen one exactly like that. Fun find!
Oh I love that flower frog! It is so unique and really looks pretty the way you have displayed it. Pretty urn too! Thanks for linking it up!

Flower frog.... I have never heard of one before. NEAT!!
Very pretty! I love flower frogs. Unfortunately for me, I think I waited too long before my interest peeked. They have become harder to find and more expensive. Love Club G.W. Funny!

Not gonna lie. Coveting your flower frog! I only find really ugly "mid century" ( the nice terms for 60s / 70's tacky) stuff. I love this and am so glad you linked it up at my "BFF" party! Happy Mother's Day weekend my friend!
What a fantastic flower frog- I love it. Thanks for sharing at FNF :)
Back again, just to wish you a Happy Mother's Day - have a wonderful day!
Hi Kathleen, Both pieces are wonderful but I am really in love with the flower frog. What a beautiful piece and quite a score at $1.99. I have been browsing your archives and your blog is lovely. I am now a follower.
Hugs,
