So that's what I got in mind when, just by chance I stopped by a souvenir shop in a mall not far from where I work. I was on my way out of the mall after finding a pair of walking shoes when I noticed a nice quilted batik shoulder bag. I went in to ask the price of the bag, but suddenly, my eyes caught three wooden frogs 'sitting' on the edge of the shelf. And I didn't know why, the look of these three frogs made me laugh, big laugh!
The guy in the counter told me that frogs are symbol of good luck. I told him the story I told you above. But more than that, what the guy in the counter didn't know (and I won't tell him by any means!) is that I got a whiff of memory and that's what made me smile and laugh, it was this picture:
Somehow indeed now thanks to that experience I believe that frogs are symbol of happiness and great friendship, and hopefully as the guy in the counter said: good luck!
ps: seeing the picture of the frogs above you might understand that I decided to buy them, and now they're sitting on top of my computer's detachable loud-speaker, next to a painted Dala horse. Another reminder that the other picture was taken in Sweden...!
Hi dear Amreta.
ReplyDeleteI just love your wooden frogs, I'm a big frog fan and have a cutie sitting on a shelf in the bathroom;)
I do write a note now and then on my updates' page so I will not be completely silent, just taking it a bit slower.
Take care, my friend.
Warm hugs,
Annette
Hello there,
ReplyDeletenow that is really fantastic. The picture of us on that bench truly resembles the three frogs =D. Nice little acessory these frogs. For us here, however, the symbol for good luck would be a (big fat) pig. Personally I prefer the frogs ;)
Cheers,
W
unbelievable! :D
ReplyDeletelove these frogs!
