- A shepherd's hook looks like the traditional crooked stick that a shepherd would use for herding sheep.

A shepherd's hook is a great place to hang fresh or dried flowers. The flowers should be in a container.

Dry flowers can be in a basket. - Lanterns look beautiful hanging from a hooklantern image by Tomasz Plawski from Fotolia.com
