These frogs were my maternal grandmother’s. She had a small curio cabinet that she kept about 10 little keepsakes. I was always obsessed with this one and every time we went to her house I begged her to let me play with it. She never did and the one time I snuck it out, she knew it! One day about three years ago, I was at her house and she told me she thought it was about time I had the frogs. To be honest, I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about, I had not thought of them in years upon years. When I finally figured it out, I went and got them and they’ve lived in a nook above my fireplace. My grandmother is quite senile now, but she knows I have them and still asks me about them from time to time when I see her.
And the dust.. that’s original grandma dust, I’ve never cleaned them. I’m not sure why, I’m expect they won’t break. :)
What a cool story. It's amazing what old people do remember! I guess we will all get there sometime.
ReplyDeleteThe picture itself would benefit from being a little lighter, but it's a very cute subject...
really cute with a nice background story
ReplyDeleteI think what I like about the frog ornament is the extra detail of the newspaper. The commentary you've included today adds to the specialness and significance of the photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute froggies! and I lol@ original grandma dust :D
