Gussied Up Canning Jars
July 19, 2010
A while back I saw these wonderful jars at Tracey McBride's blog, which is not surprising since she has a gift of taking simple, everyday items and making something special out of it. Amazing how a little tart mold can transform a jar. By the way the blue jar has a vintage jello mold on it. I think they go with my Coco Chanel inspired kitchen. Brilliant idea Tracey, bravo !!! xoxox
That is a fun idea, thanks for sharing the creative inspiration. Did like your photos from the beach as well, looks like a great place to relax.

Those are so cute! Tracey has been inspiring me for ages! I've re-read her books so many times they've fallen apart!

YOu are right! Those are fantastic and what a simple but perfect idea. I have a bridal shower coming up and I am thinking they would be great party favors. Maybe include a decadent chocolate mousse recipe!

Beautiful! Love the idea! I have a box of old, blue canning jars --- some are even 1/2 gallon sizes. I was trying to figure out something special to do with them. Clarice always comes through with the creative ideas!!!
