Happy Mother's Day to all the Mama's out there

I should have done a Mother's Day post yesterday but I was too busy hanging out with the mama. I met Mom down in Olympia on Sunday for lunch and a girl movie. We had super yummy food at Red Robin except wouldn't you know it,no good movies out right now- we weren't in the mood for Wolverine just then. So we did a very Sarah and Sharon thing and we went junk shopping.

Mom remembered this fun place over on 4th Avenue in downtown Olympia and it was just jam packed with all different kinds of cool stuff. There were probably at least 30 different little vendor areas. In one of them I found items that mark the start of a new collection for me- floral frogs. You know those cool metal things they used to put in the bottom of vases to arrange flowers before there was that green foam stuff? I found three great ones and am officially collecting cool old metal ones if you come across any let me know.

Martha uses frogs not only for flowers but also for organizing odds and ins on her desk top. The large green one could hold pens and pencils at the ready. The spiky ones without the over cage (I don't have one of these yet) can hold papers up and in order and any of them would make excellent paperweights.

A close up of the original members of my collection. Thank you mama for the super fun day. We will have to go junking again soon!
