This morning I have a break from volunteering at the book sale. I was tempted to post books again, but I'll do that in a couple of days. I'm getting rid of more books to make room for some new ones from the sale. After a week of sorting, I realize that the books I donated weren't in very good shape and might have gone straight to poundage. Although I did see The Female Eunuch — first in fiction, then in history. Who knows where it ended up. Today's discard is a wee flower holder with a frog. The frog is why I have kept it for so long. It's too small to be very practical though — I've put a quarter beside it for scale. I had plans to smash the holder and have the frog as a separate thing to use in other vases, but I have other frogs, and perhaps someone else will like this the way it is.

I don't have a table large enough to use this as a centrepiece. I have used the rectangular containers on their own to hold flowers, but have never used all the pieces as one unit. I don't know where I will get rid of this, perhaps the household consignment store. At one point I gave it away to a friend, but she didn't use it either, so she gave it back to me when she was decluttering. This time I will make sure it goes away never to return.
