My in-laws gave me this old soda crate last year. Until now it's been shoved away in a closet waiting for me to figure out how I wanted to use it.
At first I thought it would be a great way to display tiny ironstone creamers, but so far I only have two. Scratch that idea.
Then I thought I could display tiny little oil cans like in the picture below. But even the tiny ones were too tall. Scratch that idea too.
Finally, it hit me!!!
I now have a place to put all of my vintage flower frogs!!!!!
Teeny tiny ones
Square ones
Rusty ones
They each have their own little space
And now hang proudly on my living room wall!

Looks fabulous!!! But what's a flower frog - never heard of that before ( and inquiring minds do want to know ) lol

That looks great--and I love flower frogs :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Dee from My Painted Stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou've found a very clever way to repurpose your soda crate! I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy heart skipped a beat when I saw your old soda crate because I am always on the lookout for them. I want to make Coca-Cola crate advent calendars for my grown kids. You can see them here: http://jswfield.blogspot.com/2011/12/coca-cola-crate-advent-calendar.html
ReplyDeleteI really like the collection yours houses too!
Great idea I love the Coca-Cola crate and flower frogs are something I also collect though I only have a few metal ones I have mostly glass.

I thought I was the only crazy girl with that many vintage frogs! Love the display.
ReplyDeleteLOVe the frogs. Those are the best soda crates to show off some sweet finds. I have one too displayed in my dining room.

How way COOL! I have a pepsi crate that I've used in the yard for years after a yard sale find. I love the idea of using indoors with a vintage collection. I love yours...and even though I don't have your kind of collection, I'm sure I can think of something!!
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought to collect vintage flower frogs? I love it when I see such a unique interest.
ReplyDeleteWe had one of these growing up that we used for a special Christmas tradition. I will be sharing it on my blog at Christmas time :) When we all got married my mom got all of us one so we could carry on the tradition with our own families. I love what you have done with yours!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I wish I had not sold off my flower frog collection and my soda crate. Never thought of pairing them - so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh! Lovely soda crate and lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, in my last post I share my oil cans collection, they are like the one of your third photo.
