Yesterday I went to a small Yard Sale in the garden of Haddenham's Abbeyfield Residential Home. I saw this and knew how useful they are, especially in holding steady a large piece of material when it's draped on your cutting table! It's about 3" tall, of clear plastic (I suppose) and has these transparent bubbles in clear and also in amethyst. I didn't
need it but couldn't resist it. I also bought a few Country Living mags which I've found useful in the past as a source of advertising photos to paint in 1 1/2 hours - if I ever get back to it.

thats nice Silve, good tip, I never thought of using big glass paperweights to hold my slippy fabric!
I'm not just a pretty face, y'know.....
I have to confess that I have a real weakness for glass paperweights. Might have something to do with the fact that I love my windows open even when it's blowing a gale !!! I have a lovely one with a real daffodil captured and preserved inside it - a lovely souvenir.
cheers
Something else we have in common Helsie - I guess your daffodil paperweight came from the UK?
Like the paperweight Mum...Oh and Kath mum is always finding other uses for things I got a kitchen corner shelf at a car boot mum said turn it sides ways and you have a long shelf which I did and it stored my cook books....
Mine holds all my quilting books!
