Since 2011, Laughing Frog Studio has been turning “trash into treasure” and old silverware into playful, one-of-a-kind jewelry, accessories, and home pieces. Every creation is handcrafted, full of character, and made to bring a little joy to whoever finds it—whether it started as a fork, a button, or a forgotten trinket.

We’re Matt and Jen, a husband-and-wife team who started Laughing Frog Studio to support our daughter’s ice hockey dreams—and ended up on a lifelong creative adventure. Matt, a Marketing and Database Executive by day, is a maker at heart, always turning found objects into little surprises (like candy-and-gum-wrapper flowers!). Jen has a lifelong love of antiques and spotting hidden value, running her own antiques business for 20 years while finding magic in the overlooked.

These days, out here on our Texas ranch, we spend our time turning forks, spoons, and random finds into handcrafted treasures that surprise, delight, and spark a smile.
