I love to keep pretty things in glass jars in my sewing room and a few in other places in the house. I love your pictures.

Dagmar said...

So beautifully styled and displayed..I have a nice collection of those large jars as well, they are so useful..your are lovely❤️

Libbie said...

All my pretty is tucked away before the boys shatter it...mostly Bo :) ...my curious one who will ALWAYS touch it...but he is growing up & I think soon I'll be able to decorate "pretty" again :) Don't want to wish Bo to grow up too fast just to decorate again though :) I like him little :) So for now I'll just sigh with a smile & admire yours :) Or go to my mom's & make her really nervous when he touches all her stuff...that's fun too ;)

Love your jars so much and all the treasures that sit inside. Oh the cupcake liners are so special in the jar.

Things always look prettier under glass - even the most simple of things I think. I love to use glass jars in my craft room to keep my bits organized and easy to see what I've got. Your cake makes my mouth water. Oh my!!!

I LOVE all the pretty things you have in the glass jars! Who knew that simple pink strawberry wafer cookies could look so darn cute? Beauty and function. Yes, I do use glass jars/canisters for a lot of things in my office/sewing space: Lace, ribbons, buttons, beads, spools of thread, tiny leftover bits of felt and folded origami cranes. And come December there will also be some seasonal decor displayed in jars and vases.
Hope you are having a great week!
And I almost forgot... oh my goodness!! That black forest cake is making me drool!

GOOD MORNING KORALEE!

How I love each and every photo here...that BLACK FOREST CAKE? Those pink wafers? Simple yet brilliant ideas to make a heart happy, anywhere!

I love to keep sea shells in jars....I think I will use some of them this Christmas, but fill my jars with silver ornaments! Now you have me thinking...but now, I must run off to school! Thursday night are my conferences...have a lovely day my sweet one! Anita

Jane said...

Koralee, your jars are just lovely, especially the cupcake papers. I have just finished icing a batch for my husband to take to work tomorrow as a fundraiser. hope this week is going great for you! Jane x

Barbara said...

Those glass jars are HUGE! Clever ideas to fill them with, though. And always lovely, soft colors I've come to expect from you. Romantic and feminine.

The Blue Farmhouse said...

Hello Koralee,
Well my first thoughts were..I could scoop cake right out of that jar with my hand..but that wouldn't be polite...uh? But I love the pretty papers and what a wonderful way to display them and add color at the same time...and the wafers...I would just eat!

Love...Rita

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

I love to find unusual jars at the thrift store....most of mine have seashells in them. But I have 2 old coffee jars that were my grandmother's and they have cookie cutters. You always have the prettiest photos. I love that washi tape...I need some! Hugs!

Hello there! It's been too long since I've stopped over. Things are just as cheerful and pretty as always! I want to come hang out in your kitchen!

p.s. my sister and I were thrifting today and she happened across three pieces of vintage robin's egg pyrex. I thought of you and your collection immediately. :) xoxo
