My obsession with jars knows no end. I love jars, and I love them even more when they have a lid. I popped into a thrift store yesterday hoping to find some clothes for a Joker costume for my son. Instead I left with a lovely lidded jar.
Nice size, nice shape, nice price of $2:00. Obviously I couldn’t leave it behind.
Here’s one of my favourite ways to display photos. I like to stick to a similar theme. All black and white, or all portraits, or all scenery, for a cohesive effect. My new jar looks great in this display. I will have to do a blog post on how to display photographs. Remind me won’t you?!
And here it is with a couple of other inexpensive lidded jars. As you know I like clusters of three. I filled the new jar with other small, amber glass jars. You know you have an obsession when you need a jar to hold your other jars! I like the look and the neutral colour tones in with the scrabble tiles and walnuts.
Lidded jars are so incredibly useful, and you can never have too many.
I treasure them as well, Samantha. You can never have enough! I often like to tie a pretty grosgrain ribbon around the neck. J x
Ribbon does look gorgeous tied around the neck. And grosgrain is my favourite!
I share your love for jars. Brilliant ideas for displays!
Jars really are wonderful aren’t they. Beautiful and useful, and suprisingly easy to find in thrift stores. Thankyou for the lovely feedback.
Great article!
Thankyou very much Mary. I always love feedback.
love the photo idea in particular! I won’t let you forget 🙂
Excellent. I knew I could count on you!
I often keep any glass jam jars after I’m finished with them and clear them out, and voila, I’ve helped the environment AND gained a new valuable find for my home! Love what you did with the photos and the jars inside a jar. Jarception….
Jam jars are particularly great aren’t they! I’m so glad you liked the post.
An incredible idea for the photos! I might have to try that out, thanks 😉
I’m always trying to ind new ways to display photos. Glad you like it.
