things in jars

Today I had jars on the brain. I finished my fairy jar for the swap. It's going to the post tomorrow... and I took lots of pictures, but I can't show them just yet. I don't want to ruin a minute of my swap partner's anticipation! Here are some other jars to show you:


Am I more than a little sheepish to admit that when Ben took me to San Fransisco for my birthday earlier this month I got souveniers at... the Pottery Barn. I do so love the Barn, mostly I think it's because they aren't really in Canada, so they are a real novelty for me. I had most of these seaside pieces before, but the crab came from our trip. The star light fixture is sitting on my side table for right now but I'm having it installed over the sink in the kitchen. I've always wanted one just like it.



More shells - the starfishes are from a funny little boutique in Quebec from the trip when we got engaged. This is at the front door. The jars will probably stay in this theme well into August, then I'm planning a September "back to school" scheme with multiple pencils, erasers, faux apples and rulers! Summer hasn't even started yet, and I'm planning back to school. I must be sick.

Hello, ooh I'm first, Just thought I'd come over and visit and I'm very glad I did. What a lovely site. I love those jars, we have some similar ones in our bathroom. I'm getting quite addicted to collecting them ...

Thanks Kim! They are addicting, especially when they come in so many shapes and sizes. Promise not to tell anyone? I have sixteen of them. Not a word to Veto, please.

The "back to school" scheme is almost inbred: too many years of school plus the Education background to boot. You have absolutely no hope regarding that scheme...
