FRENCH CANNING JARS AND METAL FLOWER FROGS

-

CHERISHED CLASSICS: “French canning jars are all the rage these days,” Melissa notes.

“This vignette displays my vintage flower frog collection, but the jars help to tie everything together. These are some of my splurge pieces, as they’ve come all the way from France. Flower frogs are fun to collect because they’re affordable and come in so many different shapes, sizes and colors.”

COLOR IMPACT: Unite collection­s by focusing on one hue. The addition of a plant to the vignette brings a different texture while sharing a green tint.

INSIGHTS: “My largest frog was purchased from a small shop, right on Instagram. I didn’t read the dimensions when I bought it, so you can imagine my surprise when I opened my package and saw it was as large as my face! Flower frogs are great because they can be used for so many different things, besides floral arranging. I like to prop vintage photograph­s in mine or use them as accent pieces on shelves. They also make great little risers.”
