Mason Jars and Me



I have a little crush on mason jars, you see! 
So today, I thought I will share with you the many ways I have used them around my house over the years :)
Each time I see them, I simply fall in love with them all over again!
These jam jars look so adorable filled with flavored water:

 A piece of burlap scrap and a sprig of fern adorn these cuties so prettily.

 Wrapped in burlap, mason jar filled with red roses look beautiful as a centerpiece for a table.


I love these canning jars in all size and shape, but I have a special obsession with the blue ones. 
They look wonderful in a tea setting when used as a vase filled with pink summer cosmos and geraniums.
The blue of the jar contrasts so prettily with the white table runner draped across the chair and the pink flowers.



They look magical in my mid-summer garden when used as a lantern.


The mason jar overflowing with white shasta daisies adds a touch of elegance to my coffee table.

 I love how the blue mason jar stands outs in a neutral vignette with a coastal theme.

Chilled summer drinks served in tall mason jars make summer entertaining so very festive and fun!

Mason jars lined with red and blue bandanas make wonderful flatware holder for each individual guest for a 4th of July barbecue party.


A row of mason jars with pumpkin scented votive candle deck my autumn porch so beautifully. 
They make pretty luminaries:
I love their ethereal beauty when they light up my evening porch. 

 Blue mason jars contrast so charmingly with the white flatware when used in a Christmas buffet.

 Mason jars are so versatile! They can be used in a multitude of ways and add charm, elegance, and simplicity in every setting, vignette, and tablescape. I  love playing with them! 
So, have you played with mason jars lately?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed your stay here! Come back and visit me soon! I love hearing from you!
Enjoy your weekend!

 ~Hugs, Poppy~

    I like the idea of a votive in my mason jars, but how do you insert a glass votive in a glass jar? I must be tired, just can't figure it out :-)

    I like to use my vintage mason jars for flowers in the spring and summer. Something about the aqua glass that works perfectly with flowers. Thanks for sharing all your ideas.

    Lots of cute ideas! I like the blue too but I've decided food doesn't look very appetizing in them. I like the candles and flatware in them and the one with the roses is perfect! I'm going to show this to my daughter who likes to do canning. I know she'll like the variety of ideas you've presented!

    You are very creative with them. I love the blue ones. Great idea for putting utensils in them for parties and to use as vases. I use them for putting my fig preserves in them, but will now have to explore other uses for them. Thanks for the inspiration!
