Welcome...we're lucky to have you!!!
To live content with small means...to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion...to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich...to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart...to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, never hurry...in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious...grow up through the common...this is to be my symphony.
---William Henry Channing
Note: Words to live by. This poignant quote touches me more now than when I used it in my first book, Frugal Luxuries, Bantam Books, NY, NY, in 1997.

AWESOME!!! I usually store my mason jars in the basement, lol. I never can come up with the awesome ideas you do. What a creative lady. Hugs
I've used all milk bottles but and ball jars but not with the lids on.
Cute idea.
LOL Carol, you are so good!! I should be doing more of the same and using them for their original intentions (i.e. preserving food :)!! As it is, these are pretty side projects that take only a little time and less money but they do make the kitchen window sill look so fresh and pretty!
Hugs and love to you!
Warmly,

Hello DD!! I love your milk bottle idea!! The reason I used the lids was because the bulbs fell through without them. I just took out some of the old rusted lids that should never be used for canning, so it worked out well. :)

Wow, those are so cool!! I use my jars for storing homemade granola and things i buy in bulk, like baking soda. I also use them as candle holders for tea lights.
Hi SQ!! I love all of your great ideas...especially the candle holders for tea lights...this would be really cute for our summer picnics as the jar would protect the flames from blowing out (which is sometimes a problem). Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us!
Love,
Tracey

you go way beyond clever!
thanks so much for the kind words Dana...but I think you have all this beat with your many amazing projects! I am just so impressed by your new weaving skills...now THAT is very very close to making something from nothing!!! :)
Love,
Tracey

Hi, just wondering what type of bulb you used in the mason jars, thanks!!
I use all kinds of glass bottles and jars to make what I call Shipwrecked bottles. I wrap cement soaked fabric onto jars to make very cool new bottles, flower vases etc...
