I've been a resident of the Kingdom of Flickr for 3 years now, having been drawn into its habit-forming vortex by friend Frank Synopsis who came to my house and took such fabulous photos of my junk. Thinking that perhaps I should catalog some of my items for the world & posterity, I leaped into the fray.
I have a borrowed camera for now, so I'm mixing lots of scans with whatever I can photograph in a hurry...
It's a slow process, but I'm trying to document my 1953 "Ugh House" & Volcano and all therein, including all things vintage 50's, pulp fiction, comics, vintage children's books, odd LPs, sock monkeys, bath products, old 60's trolls, tiki, old holiday stuff, bar ware, gnomes, aquarium castles, the hidden world of doilies, drive-thru tree items, globes, games, vintage desk accessories, knick-knacks, gimcracks and gew-gaws. Someday, someday....
Meanwhile, this place called Flickr and its denizens are fascinating & somewhat addicting. It's a pleasure to be here!

"Within her home is a treasure trove--the greatest one being froggyboggler herself. Wit, enthusiasm, kindness, talent, and generosity are shared with her flickr friends, and we are the richer for her. The vintage gems within her collections are gifted in glorious color photos, each prize revealed by her and reveled by us, her fans. Fab fun parties, swell garage sales, terrific Tupperware affairs are shared with an appreciative public who feel as though they were lucky enough to be by her side when the festivities were occurring. Flickrites like froggy are the reason many of us return again and again. I, for one, have gained a wealth of pleasure and joy having spent time here with her. Thank you, Ms. Boggler!"

"Get lost in space with this witty, wonderful hoarder of all things fabulous! With her unfailing eye for beauty, eccentricity and dearness she never fails to draw our attention to erstwhile hidden gems. Her irrepressible humour is always infectious. Long may her spark light our way on flickr!"

"While Froggy's scans and photos are amazing, her house as a whole is just out of this world -- it's a whimsical playland of All Things Fabulous. AND she writes witty captions, which makes her a perfect Flickr denizen. But best of all, she's been my dear friend for years... and I love her and The Bunnies very, very much. xoxoxo"
