I found some pretty glass flower frogs at the flea market. Problem is, after I got them home, I realized I wouldn't have much use for them. Most of the time my flower arranging consists of shoving a bunch of flowers into a vase. Maybe I'll fluff them up a bit. But flower frogs? Then I realized, aha, they could be put to other uses.

I've been using them on my desk to hold pens where they look more interesting then just putting them in a jar. I've also been using them as paperweights whether to hold a stack of papers I need to go through, the pages of a cookbook open or to keep loose papers from flying away when my old creaky window flies open (which it often does).
