The jars are so chic!! I love the jewels...a touch of glamour with the earthiness of the sackcloth.
I could go for some raspberry jam on sourdough right now for breakfast!!
Have a wonderful day. :)

Your jam looks incredible...and the way you decorated the jars... I couldn't imagine anything less beautiful from you ♥

I've been telling myself since school ended that I really need to make strawberry-rhubarb jam... {so much rhubarb in my garden!}
I have the strawberries now...
you've inspired me to get goin' on my jam!
Time to finish my post and "Rise & Shine!"

Blessings to you and your beautiful family, Koralee! They are so blessed to have you ♥

Wishing you more Joy!
