Our Limited Edition Frog and Lily Paperweight

A frog outgrew his lily pad and decided to make some home improvements. He didn’t have the money, so he hopped to the bank for a loan. At the bank, he took a seat at loan officer Patricia Black’s desk and explained his dilemma. “I want to upgrade my lily pad, maybe add another window, but I don’t have the cash. Can you lend me the money?”

“Maybe,” she said. “What can you offer as collateral?” “Well,” said the frog. “All I have is this paperweight. You shake it up, and it snows on the little village. Cute, huh?” “Hmm . . . I’ll have to speak to my manager.” She enters her manager’s office.

“Mr. Bitterby, I’ve got a frog at my desk who wants to borrow money for lily pad improvements. But all he can offer for collateral is this glass paperweight.” Mr. Bitterby took the paperweight, looked it over, and said, “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Black, give the frog a loan.”

Hi - well this is my first blog. It might take a while for me to get used to this but here’s hoping it’ll work out ok and some people will actually read it

I’m going to upload a few videos of some of our paperweights. These are all handmade - so they’re all unique in their own way. If you’re a paperweight collector or just want some ideas for a gift you can  visit http://www.realalternativesite.com .

I’ll soon be posting some articles on a wide variety of topics from art & crafts to philosophy and lots in between. If you can’t wait to see those articles, there are around 2000 articles on the Real Alternative Site.

That’s it for now
