easter glass

hope you all had a nice holiday and had your share of sweets.

i found these "ball mason jar sip and straw lids"

at target and thought they would be a cute take on easter baskets.

kyle and julie used canning jars in their wedding decorations for flowers, candles etc.  so i thought 

i should make this the year of the canning jar.

it won't be hard to work them in for holidays as there are 

tons of uses, including canning - of which i have done very little.

there is one food item that i wanted to "can" for quite while

 so this has got to be the year.

will share when it is on the calendar.

we interrupt this winter

to bring you a bit of spring.

i found this canning jar

at a thrift store a few weeks back.

it was amoung all the canning jars 

and stuck out in all it's 

floral couture.

reminds me of liberty fabrics.

must have taken someone quite some time 

to paint all the flowers.

i used it to keep receipts during the holidays.

 when spring is here 

i plan to use it for the real thing.
