A look at my frog collectibles as I get them and my wacky world in the meantime.
Oh my goodness, she's a runaway bride! Sorry, I listened to CNN this morning - somehow this has been their only news story for some 4 hours!
I saw this article and just had to pass it along. Even though I put up collectibles, we must remember our froggy friends in the wild, especially the endangered ones. This story makes me sick on several counts!
This collectible is a lot of fun! It is from Boyds Bears & Friens and is part of the Wee Folkstone Ribbit & Co. This piece is called Lloyd Tadpool . . . Surf's Up. And what a surf! I hope the rubber duckie doesn't get washed away! This is a limited edition piece. Mine is from Edition 3E and is piece number 290. This piece dates to 1999.
The weather is starting to warm back up after a cold snap and the garden centers are advertising lots of flowers. It just makes Mrs. Gardenhopper want to get out there and start working. And I say as long as I don't have to do it - have at it!
Looking in on the pond and all the Sprogz has been fun, but with today's entry they've all had a chance to make an appearance.
This frog collectible was certainly a tough one to photograph. He is from Hallmark and is a miniature called Prince Charming and stands just a little over an inch tall! The artist is Sue Tague. It is made of metal and beads and is a dated 2004 ornament.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - All frogs go to heaven!
The sun is back, it's getting a bit warmer, and so why not hop onto the nearest lilypad and read a good book. Unfortunately this frog fell asleep before he could finish reading this self-help book and when he wakes up he won't know what to do with the dragonfly perched on his book.
It's a 50's frog hop dance! Some of the best music ever.
Ding Dong! Avon calling. Make sure to order lots!
While things are going smoothly I'll post the afternoon Sprogz, who is only a couple of months away from celebrating his birthday!
Well technical issues have hopefully been all resolved and the band is ready to start playing. The conductor has taken to the stage and raised his baton.
And now to answer the oft asked question - Do Sprogz go to heaven?
Honeycomb, won't you be my baby?
I guess it should be Evening with Sprogz - the photo program Flickr has been down all afternoon. It made it terrible for this bride and groom because they wanted to have their picture taken!
It's nice to have different types of frogs to your collection. Some are expensive and others are just plain fun. And today feels like a fun day!
When things get stressful just remember to have a little peace, green peace - then everything will be alright.
It's been an interesting morning here at Frog Central. The computer doesn't want to work, the software doesn't want to work, and to be honest, the operator doesn't want to work either! It looks as if Fric and Frac's smile has us a little goofy today!
Every Sprogz want to be the Yankee Doodle Pond-ee in the 4th of July parade, that's why they start months ahead of time practicing.
Radko ornaments are fun to collect. This frog is part of the Swamp Stompers collection. This is from Christopher Radko's Italian collection.
It may not be Valentine's Day, but any day is a good day for a box of flies!
It takes lots of practice to juggle all the things that need to be done in a day - but these frogs are experts.
He's the international frog of mystery - he can only be Pond, Frog Pond.
A cool morning breeze under a comforter with a frog band serenading you to sleep. A good morning to sleep in!
Flowers are always a good bet when celebrating an anniversary.
Fruggy has Girl Powrrr and it's all lime green.
If you're going to visit the pond don't forget to go see the Statue of Riberty.
It's Saturday morning. The weekend is here. Time for cartoons and toys!
It's a good thing this teacher looks so energetic, frog is not an easy language!
I hope that you will find today's frog collectible worth the wait. There's been a whole lot of tomfroggery going on here at Frog Central!
It may not be football season, but that doesn't mean that on a nice spring day that a bunch of frogs can't have a pick-up game to keep in practice. This Sprogz is a professional, playing for the Green Back Packers. He's well-known around the pond and willing to show young tadpoles just how the game is played.
Tim Wolfe, a wonderful animal sculptor known for his work with Cairn Studios has struck off on his own. And he picked up on a popular series from his previous work by sculpting the alphabet. Here is the letter F which of course is for Frog. Listed as item number 2014, Alpha F stands only a couple of inches tall. Mine is from the 1st edition, piece number 928 (1/928).
She's so shy and demure - but you know that her boyfriend and her were spawned for each other!
The sun has returned to Frog Central so it's a good day for some sun art.
This Sprogz has gotten it bad - but the nice spring weather has been known to do that!
A rainy day here at Frog Central, but it's never too rainy to dance!
Wart's Hotel and Casino is the favorite stomping ground of this little leaper!
Everyone remembers the story of Bonnie & Clyde. This picture is one of them before the fame set in - you can just see it in their eyes even then that they're going to go bad!
It's Sunday afternoon and so that means it's bowling night! Time to go and practice a few times before the league gets there - and why are those toads laughing at my form?
The Master's tournament is on but I haven't heard about Strike Duffrough - I hope he made the cut to the next round.
The day of the royal wedding - isn't the couple just lovely! And all the well wishers that came out to see them and cheer them on. The media coverage was non-stop. It was such a special day!
The Frog Wrangler here at Frog Central decided to sleep in this morning - and you can't argue with that!
The nice weather is causing everyfrog to want to take a dip in the pond.
Baseball season is underway and the frogs here at Frog Central are ready to go.
Betty loves to bake and when she gets to whipping up a batch of spider crunch cookies there's no stopping her!
Whenever you want to set the mood with some tea light candles - why not make them frog tea light candles! This set of 4 candles is from Lava Candles and is from their Garden Accents collection.
A birthday is always a reason to have a party - especially when it's a milestone such as a Sprogz 21st birthday!
This is a great two-part ceramic piece. It is a soap pump that when you press down to get some soap it croaks. The bottom has the croaker and is accessible so that the battery can be changed. From the Allure company, it dates to 1999. A cute piece that adds fun to my collection.
It'll soon be time for the tads to graduate and so they are starting to practice. Although they've been told no practical jokes, you can tell by the look in this one's eyes that he's got something hopping up his sleeves!
Well the sun came up early and with it being so warm, it was roundup time here at Frog Central. After a long morning or frog ranchin' it's off to see what vitals have been rustled up by the cook!
Over 20 years of collecting and still
love the froggies!
