Jenna,

I JUST started a Ball jar collection thanks to some beautiful finds at a local neighborhood rummage sale a few weeks ago! these ideas are just fantastic – thanks for all the enchanting eye candy!
What a fabulous article, Denise ~ thanks so much for linking to our blog…sure appreciate it! I am totally in love with jars and you sure found some delightful ones to share today.
Thanks again!
Fabulous ideas Denise! I’ve bookmarked a few to try myself.
Ummm….I love ALL of these!! I especially love the painted jars! I definitely want to try that! I also LOVE the tables with all of the different sized jars with the candles in them!! Sooo cute!!
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!!!

Thank you! My daughter will be using mason jars and empty jars in her wedding in June. I am going to pass this along to her for 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 love this! Ive always loved mason jars, and collected them in hopes of doing something awesome with them. I love all of these!!
