Mason Jars Galore

Who would have thought Mason jars would make such a come back? I would have never guessed, but Emily Hall did. 

Her beautiful outside wedding last summer had Mason jars used in some unique ways. Large blue jars held lovely wildflowers and smaller ones held candles to make up part of her table centerpieces.


The jars make for great silverware holders too. Let you imagination run wild!



One of my favorite uses ~ Mason jars replacing drinking glasses. Colorful tags for people to write their names on are tied about the neck of each jar with twine. 

 
One of the many wonderful things about Mason jars is their cost. If you know the right person you can borrow (we love FREE) boxes full or have fun hunting them up at your local Salvation Army and feel great about walking away with such a steal. 

If you are wanting to add some color to your jars your local dollar store will have colored or natural rocks for a dollar a bag. Not only does this add some weight to the jar but a splash of color.

It's all in the details...

A cup of hot cocoa
          Easy, right?
                 No frills, no thrills...
                       But if you start with a glass mug 
                             add a bit whipped cream on top 
                                   and then top it off with sprinkles

Well, let's just say that you went from good to Hmmmm... Hmmmm... GOOD!

Birthday Brunch & Pedicures

When you are surrounded by wonderful people in your life, you just have to stop long enough to make them feel special on their birthday.  Taking the knowledge you have of this person ~ what they would call their favorites ~ and incorporating that into a time to make them feel special is a snap and so much fun!
