this weekend’s theme
~ mason jars ~
Mason jars are all about vintage simplicity. When I see a mason jar project, I always think of repurposed to the highest degree with style. Mason jars are flat out fun!

So, on these jar lights… those with experience, don’t the jars get awfully hot with the bulb encased in the glass if not cut? Do tell. Any other tricks to share?

Your yellow flowers are so pretty! All the jars are so fun! Thank you so much for having the party!
I have a few mason jars I haven’t done anything with. I can’t wait to see all the ideas from those who link up. You showed some pretty clever ideas that have me thinking…hmmm. Best party in Blogtown. Thanks for doing it each week.
Yay for mason jars! Love these examples. I think I’ll be doing the one that you have pictured for my craft room. I love that idea!
This is quite possibly the BEST blog entry that I have ever seen! And your last picture is to die for; completely adorable!! Love it!
Oh I LOVE LOVE all the mason jars! Thanks for hosting!

Thanks for hosting Donna…love mason jars, have to get me some more!
Interesting!
Thanks for the hosting. Love all the cool ideas for the blue jars!
Beautiful, beautiful features. Thanks for hosting.
Hi Donna! I love seeing all the mason jars. I think of my mom’s canning the fruits and veggies in them when I was a little girl.
Oh, I think I messed up and posted in the wrong category! I’m sorry!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
This is a great post! I’ve been playing with mason jars all day and then you put all these great pictures out to give me even more ideas! Thanks!
I think my all time favorite thing to do with mason jars is drink sweet iced tea from them. Second favorite is flower vase…simple and understated…love it.
Hi Donna…thank you for allowing us to showcase our creativity.
sending you a warm hug from Canada,

Great Fun!!! I LOVE blue mason jars, and use hundreds of the clear ones when I can in the summer and fall. I didn’t know anything about it when I married my husband, but he made me into a country girl. 🙂 Well, actually, his mom did the teaching-me-to-can part for him. 🙂
LOVE your blog!! Your decorating is soooo GREAT!!
Thank you!!
Great mason jar ideas — thanks for sharing!!!!
Great ideas! I love mason jars but never know what to do with them. Gotta Love decorating with something you have laying around the house!! :0)
oh I love those Mason Jars…the lamps are so fun….lookin to hear about your question re jar lamps & heat!
thanks for hosting. I LOVE antique ball jars; I just linked up some of my jars. I love the jars with flowers in them; never thought to try that!
how FUN!!! as you can tell by my icon, i love the jars – i even do a mason jar sunday every week 🙂 what a fun post!
Thanks for hosting, Donna! I actually had something for the special party!! I’ve been told they are mason jars but I’m still not totally convinced!!
These mason jars are amazing!!! I love the vintage feeling!!Thank you so much for this hosting:-)
I don’t own a single one, but dangit, I’m determined now! Luv you Donna, and your style. Thanks for hosting us!
xo, Andrea

So many great ways to use Mason Jars! Thanks again for hostessing.
The simple elegance of a tealight in a jar. After reading blogs, I have come to appreciate used pasta sauce jars!
Thank you Funky Junk! You just solved my decorating dilemma!! I just renovated my kitchen(on a $1,200.00 budget to boot…) and most everything is now white on white, except for the furniture I haven’t yet painted or replaced, so I conveniently cropped those items out of the photos for the post! However, they are all aqua/blue-green….so if I add some blue ball jars to the all white part of the room, and put some more white accessories on the other side of the room everything will flow and still read as a white on white room with a few pops of color! Yay! I hope you’ll stop by and check it out!

Thanks for hosting Donna! Have a great weekend…
Oh my…the Jar Nazi would FREAK if he saw this post, ha ha!
I love using old jars and bottles and am lucky to have inherited several from my grandmother. They do everything from store flower seeds to hold my paint brushes!

I love all of the entries with the jars. I love those jars…vintage, Ball, just regular canning jars…I think they’re an awesome way to store things. I decorate with them in the fall too.
I just recently listed 2 vintage Ball jars in my Etsy shop and secrectly hoping I can keep them. Especially now after seeing all of these ideas. I have a turquoise McDonald one as well…that baby is mine 4ever!

This weekend I made a pendant light out of an aqua Ball jar, and after doing some research, I went with an LED bulb. Most of what I read recommended low wattage (CFL) or LED. They’re spendy, but the GE one I bought is supposed to last about 8 years (based on 4 hours of use a day) and is guaranteed for 4 years.
Wow! I enjoyed a lot looking and reading at your incredible post. I was impressed. Thank you so much for sharing and keep posting fantastic.
