Hi there everyone…hope you are all having a great day! Well I have been noticing more and more every day how much I use the incredible little Mason Jar! I see them on my walls lined with supplies…in my cabinets holding spices…pastas…beans…cotton balls…in the fridge…the 1/2 gallon size is so perfect for iced coffee and tea and it fits like a charm…so I decided to take another look around the blogosphere to see if there was anything new going on with these special little pieces of glass. You may have seen some of them but I hope that there are a few you haven’t and it might just give you an idea! WOW…I was thinking of my Grandmother while looking at all of these things and laughing…she would be so shocked and amazed that they weren’t just for preserving eggplant and tomatoes anymore!

Another greeeaaat round-up! Love some of these ideas, but I’m a soft sell for Mason jars. Who doesn’t love a good ol’ Mason jar, right?
