I love this post. We live in New England and are masters of making something out of nothing. We use to go to the country store and browse and then say “We can make that at home.” Especially love the pint sized mason canning jars with the calico wrapped around. So, so cute. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Denise, thanks for popping on over to my space earlier. It’s great to connect with you, too! I’ve been thinking for some time about joining the “sisterhood.” I was pleasantly surprised to find out you were affiliated with Sisters in Bloom.
I LOVe cute glass jars, especially Mason jars. My favorite idea on this list was using a glass jar as a storage container for a ball of yarn, with a hole punched in the lid…that is great. That certainly beats using a plastic bag for the same purpose
Have a great weekend. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather

I followed the link for the first picture to “Nautical Cottage Blog” but couldn’t find much information. I would like to know where that wire basket came from? Does anybody know? Are those quart or pint jars? I love this and would like a collection of these wire baskets for my wedding studio.
