Flower Frogs To Create Flower Arrangement
By Jennifer Dullard
Flower frogs are useful to help you create an outstanding flower
arrangement. Rather than just placing a bunch of flowers in a
vase, you can place the flowers in an arrangement using a flower
frog, to give the flower presentation a form of structure.
If there is a special event in your home, like a wedding or Mothers
Day, and you want to place a number of flowers around the house,
you can use flower frogs to help with your flower arrangements.
You can buy flower frogs online, in specialty stores and in garage sales.
Looking For Unique Glass Bowls, Glasses And Vases
There are many people that dislike second hand stores and garage
or rummage sales. I am not a person that spends much time going
to garage sales, however when I do stop at one, I usually go through
the glassware as well as vases. This is the section in the second
hand store that I check out also. There are many times when I
like to review my options and find unique glass bowls, glasses
and vases that I use when entertaining.
One day I was on my way home from the grocery store when I was
forced to take a detour due to road construction. I decided to
take a short cut through a residential neighborhood to get back
to the street we live on.
Glass Flower Frogs In Different Shapes And Sizes
An older home, that I have thought looks quite interesting was
having a yard sale. I thought I would stop to see what they had.
There was one table with glassware on it that I was looking through.
I noticed there was another table that was full of vases. On the
table with the vases were several flower frogs. They were in different
sizes and shapes and were all made of glass.
I had two flower frogs that my mother had given to me, but these
were beautiful. Flower frogs are round or oval shaped with holes
in them that are put in the bottom of bowls or flat vases to stand
flower stems in. With flower frogs you can basically turn any
container into a base for a flower arrangement.
One Foot Long And Two Inches High WIth Many Holes. Wow!
The old woman at the sale saw me looking at the flower frogs
and came over to talk to me. She asked me if I knew what they
were for. I explained that my mother had used them and that I
love to arrange flowers so I was familiar with their use. She
showed me one that was close to a foot long and four inches high.
It was made of glass and studded with holes through the surface
to allow many flowers to be arranged in it. The glass was green
in color. None of the flower frogs had prices marked on them.
I told the woman that they were very beautiful and that I wanted
to buy at least one, but I needed to know the price.
Loved Arranging Flowers With Flower Frogs
She said that she had not priced them because she wanted them
to go to someone that knew what they were and would use them.
She said she loved arranging flowers and she wanted her frogs
to go to someone else that shared this passion. She told me that
I could have all the flower frogs for ten dollars.
I knew this was not enough money, but she insisted. She packed
up nine frogs for me. I think of her every time I arrange flowers.
Arranging Flowers For Mothers Day
I have even given away some of the flower frogs to friends and
family. Whenever there is a special event, like Mothers Day, I
always like to arrange some flowers from my yard and place them
in flower frogs, all around the house. As mum does not have the
strength to cater for all the family, I ask all the family members
to come to our house and give mum gifts on her special day.
As she enters the house, she always likes to look for my flower
arrangements and she likes to comment on my choice of flowers.
Sometimes, she likes to go into the yard and have a look at my
growing flowers, and comment on the range of flowers. She also
likes my organic garden and always likes to have freshly picked
herbs, fruit and vegetables to take home.
It makes my day, to see how happy it makes my mum, to appreciate
my efforts in the garden.
