Forks and Frogs



Forks. Silver Forks.
A whole bag of them.


84 to be exact.

Aren't they beautiful?
All so intricate, and makes you wonder where all they have been.
Who were the families who had them?

And why do I have them?
Why did I buy 84 silver forks?
For these:
little fork easels ...
to display little vintage pics.
(and my art. pics coming soon)
My sweet fella makes these for the store.
I got the idea from Dawn at The Feathered Nest.
Thanks Dawn, for your great blog and for sharing so many things.

And here are my new frogs.
I'm having a harder time finding the metal ones these days,
so always scoop them up when I see any.
These are just small ones, but the two square
ones hook together to make one longer one.

Thanks for coming by.
Blessings to all.

I've never seen fork easels before Barb! How cute! I've always adored flower frogs to display vintage relatives. You have some beautiful ones!!! Hope you figure out what happened to your comments. My blogger has been a little messed up too. For some reason my header lettering is fuzzier than usual. ?? Have a beautiful day!
