[QUOTE="peterinwa, post: 3314427, member: 17926"]My home looks a bit like an antique store, though hopefully a little more decorated and a little less cluttered. To that point, after collecting for over half a century I ran out of room! I enjoyed collecting so much for so long that when I stopped for 10 years I couldn't even go near an antique store. Too depressing! I'd always loved colored glass, and when I saw a pretty green glass flower frog on-line that gave me the idea to start collecting them. They are small! [IMG]https://www.myflowerfrogs.com/Peter/flower-frog-Cambridge.jpg[/IMG] On my third trip out I came across a ceramic one, and now I love them even more. A collection looks like an artist's palette! [IMG]https://www.myflowerfrogs.com/Peter/flower-frog-Rookwood-Patterns.jpg[/IMG] I collect blocks, a term for non-figural flower frogs. They came in two forms: [LIST] [*]Inserts were often sold with a matching bowl, and the flower stems were placed in the holes of the "frog" as it set in water in a bowl. [*]Lids were sold with a vase, and the flower stems were placed through the holes and down into the water. [/LIST] I love sharing in forums! Peter[/QUOTE]
