Flower Frogs and Other Favorites

Flower Frogs and other Favorites Flower Frogs and other Favorites Welcome to my site. I became interested in flower frogs in May of 1999 and within 5 months I had a collection of over 100. My Aunt Elizabeth has always been a collector. When I was younger it was thimbles, then bells, next pineapples, then Old World Christmas ornaments and most recently paperweights. While searching for my contribution to her latest craze I decided *I* wanted to start my own collection. It took me awhile to decide on just what I would collect. Since I live in an apartment it would have to be something that didn't take up a lot of space. I didn't want to have to invest a lot of money to get started so it had to be relatively inexpensive. Finally, I wanted to collect something that was unique and maybe a little "funky." Along comes Martha Stewart, (the magazine, not the person) with a small article with pictures on her assortment of flower frogs. I then began searching for them in the 20+ local antique stores and found that while they are not rare, they are certainly not plentiful. Fulfilling all the criteria's of my collection requirements, I decided to became a flower frog collector. After quickly exhausting the supply of the local antique stores, I finally ventured into EBAY and began a bidding frenzy. It's been less than a year and I have amassed over 100. I've slowed down a bit and become a little more selective but I am now, finally, a collector of something.
