I also have some faux spring-colored flowers in two canning jars above my kitchen sink:
I usually have several canning jars hanging around. My father and stepmother have a large garden and fruit orchard and they have lots of good stuff to can every season; salsa, pickles, tomatoes, applesauce, beans: just to name a few. Many of these jars make their way to my house and into my root cellar. (Yes, I do have a root cellar in the basement!) After use, I wash the jars to be returned to them. Sometimes I have a half dozen or so in a box waiting to be returned and in the meantime, I will use them as decor.
Last year for my 4th of July tablescape, I used one as a holder for serving utensils! ( Click HERE to see that tablescape).
Smaller Mason jars also look fabulous on an outdoor table as drinkware for iced tea and lemonade.
I like to find things around the house to use in unexpected ways!
Thanks for stopping by!

I used the mason jars for a family buffet we had for a family reunion! worked out well...I just love flowers in them!
I love the daisies and your silverware, Katie. I love the way you displayed them too. Come sign up for my giveaway...Christine
I love the mason jars! I have quite a few that I use to store my nuts, rice, etc in. I am trying to get away from using plastic as I am not sure how healthy it is for us plus the jars look so pretty!
Hi Katie,
I LOVE Mason jars! Especially those bluish-green ones. Your faux daisies look perfect in one! I agree with Mary Ellen. I like using ball jars and other glass items to store foods because I've gotten away from plastic. Plus, it's more Victorian!
