Mason Jars

I saw a contest on one of the blogs I follow and part of the prize was a painted mason jar.  While I was entering it, it made me think about how much I love Mason Jars and how I am probably not alone in this. They don't necessarily have to say Mason, I have many styles of  Jars, Atlas, Benardin, Imperial, Kerr and the list goes on.

I just painted these two jars with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue

I love how they turned out and will be painting more

My daughter also has a collection of Mason Jars in her apartment
One day I would love to do a post on her apt it is so cute
It's a mixture of industrial meets innovative up cycling
(that she gets from me lol )

Here she is on the show Come Dine With Me Canada

 Isn't she gorgeous, she loves to cook and bake from scratch
(She definitely does not get that from me)

Here she is singing on stage with her band
She is so talented and I am her biggest fan, I am always in awe of the talents of my amazing daughter
I could go on and on about my lovely daughter, and trust me I do lol
but back to mason jars

I have Mason Jars in the bathroom to hold my toothbrushes, as well as a soap dispenser in the bathroom and the kitchen

Holding all of my spare change in the bedroom, and my collection of buttons. Mason Jars are on my counter top holding spices and what nots.

And they are in my fridge and cold cellar storing all of my yummy preserves

I love using Mason Jars in my workshop for my paint brushes and small hardware.

I also use these little cuties just as a decoration, I love finding old Mason Jars with coloured glass.

I even have a small mason jar in a homemade candy dispenser

And this idea that I saw online that I must try to keep the mosquitos away, citronella

So is it any wonder that I would enter a contest on The Ugly Duckling Transformations that included winning a gorgeous basket full of goodies that included a darling Mason Jar soap dispenser.

do you see why I want to win this, it is so so cute

So how many Mason jars do you have in your house, check around, I think you will be amazed just how many you use. I know I was surprised to see how many I have in my house.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I had a great day at the flea market, then spent sometime at the beach with the dog. She loves to run in the water and follow babies in strollers and lick their feet. She is such a gentle soul my little Maggie

till next time
