Old Jars as Decor

That big old Ball Mason jar I got from my mom's house last week (click HERE) has become a vase for an arrangement of faux daisies on my kitchen table.

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!
