My small kitchen has a large window that looks out on the backyard. It has a nice roomy sill that happily holds glass jars. Did I mention that I'm a glass jar freak? Yes, feel free to save them after they are empty of pickles, olives, pizza sauce or dried beef - and bring them to me! One of the best uses for these is a new career as (very) casual flower vases. I put a bunch out on the sill in the spring, then keep them filled through the growing season with whatever is in bloom. Today, I'm enjoying some old-fashioned lilac in my window!

A glass jar idea that I pulled off and looked wonderful: wrap tissue paper ($5 for 100 multi-colored sheets at Hobby Lobby) around mason jars and secure with rubber band. Put in tea light ($4 for 50 unscented at Hobby Lobby). Hang in trees. Light. Have friends over.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a long time to put them together, but because I have so many mason jars I just left the tissue paper on and use them again and again.
Purple is my signature color...
ReplyDeleteLove it!
I've never even thought of saving jars for that purpose, tho I've seen it a million times. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can smell the lilac just looking at your picture!
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty!

ReplyDeleteAnd just to clarify...that wasn't my child licking the pig. It was a pic that was forwarded to me in an email yesterday. I guess I should write that disclaimer in my post... :)
