Default Antique card/page holder?

For the life of me I cannot find what the antique thingy is that everyone uses when displaying their card and scrapbook pages. It looks like a round comb made from pins. Thanks!

They are flower frogs, used for arranging flowers in the bottom of a container. The ones I have seen are "pin" type vintage metal. You can find them at antique stores or on Ebay.

HTH!

You can also find "modern" flower frogs at any florist, or even at Michael's in the flower section.

I've wondered for a long time what they were called. I've seen them on the blogs and they look so nice for pics with cards. Thanks for asking and thanks for letting us know what they are!

Glue some" roach clips" to a plate stand. For those uninformed electric clips. Or buy place card holders from Pier One, Fred Meyers, Bed Bath and Beyond, or old time "frogs" where you buy flowers. Hang cards on a string closeline with minature closepins.
