pretty paperweights

Ah, spring blooms: beautiful to look at; dangerous up close (at least for allergy sufferers). It’s a good thing the pollens in these botanicals can’t float up and tickle your sinuses, then. Hand-picked, preserved and encased in resin, their sole purpose is to sit atop your stray clippings and prevent them from flailing about when a gust of wind blows through the room. If you fancy plonking one on your desk, head to garden-objects.com, where you’ll find them for around $72 each.
