A Look At Metal Finds

This past weekend was a metal finding weekend.




This four cup mug holder took me right back to my grandparents cabin when I was a kid.  They had two like this one for holding mugs.  I think they even had one in orange.  I'm thinking of painting this one red with the white Fire King mugs on it.  What do you think paint it or leave it the original colour?


This metal flower frog is the first metal one I've found, all my other ones are in glass.  It was a flea market find.




On our rounds of garage sales I found this green egg basket.  It's a little different then my other two that I've had since moving out of my parents place many years ago. These baskets always seem to make the move with me. They're great for holding things in the basement.  I like hanging them from the rafters.

  3. I remember a cup holder tree like that when I was a kid. My parents hung green cups off of it! Is this one orange or red? It looks pretty the way it is in the picture. I agree that the frogs are very hard to find. And I love the egg basket, I would use it to gather my eggs from my hens!

  9. Love metal finds too! That flower frog is old..it is a keeper! And, those 70's mug racks are too keen, but they'd be groovy in red!

  10. I love the mug holder. I say paint it whatever color you like! Red is always a favorite of mine. :)
    Good work on the egg basket. They have gotten expensive around where we live (Kansas City, MO). However, I did score one half off at Hobby Lobby for around $10. They are sure handy for lots of things.

  11. I really like all your finds. I am on the hunt for some flower frogs myself and they scarce! And you're right. The egg baskets can be used for so many things! Loved seeing your treasures.

  14. Love the egg baskets! I have one like it and it's perfect for magazines. I also now have metal flower frogs on my list to find- I only have glass. I don't know that I've ever seen metal! Thanks for the inspiration :)

  20. Hi Denise--I'm visiting from Throwback Thursday :) I love all your finds. I like red accents in the kitchen, so I'd probably paint the mug rack. Love the flower frog--it's green and it's metal, that's all ya gotta say! I'd bring those other egg baskets right out of the basement and do something wonderful with them--magazines, yarn, wood, something! They should be seen, don't you think? Blessings, Diana
