I Love Mason and Ball Jars


Like most of us out in blog land, I use my vintage Mason Jars to hold flowers
and decorate.

But ...



I also use my Mason and Ball Jars for storage.  I live in a 99 year old house and my
pantry is out on my enclosed back porch.  I have lots of windows and open shelves
which I keep stocked with pasta and rice.



Barley and pop corn and Lentilles du Puy  which I like to keep in a cute
little stubby Ball Jar.




Handy tins and scoops.

And ...




Peanut butter dog biscuits for good boys.  Bentley has been very good and
the treatie jar needs to be refilled.



I love Mason and Ball Jars!  Decorative and useful too.

I am joining

and

Did I say treatie Bentley?  Did you hear that?
You did  ... okay I better pay up!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Susan ~ I love mason and ball jars and I keep all of my food stuffs in them. We are in the country and once I brought moths home in pasta in February ~ yeach! They even got into tupperware! Now I keep EVERYTHING in mason and ball jars and I have never had a problem. Besides, I love the look of them in my pantry

    In our old house if we do not store in an air tight fashion we get weevils/bugs in our grains super fast. Using the jars is practical and beautiful.

    Very cute and homey, Susan. I am a bit worried about Bentley's treats, tho, lol. I know Momma will take good care of you, Bentley. I am sure you got a treaty as soon as she was done with this post! Our house is 73 yrs old. I love that!

    I like your beautiful and practical way of using the jars. Isn't it comforting to see shelves of jars filled with an assortment of goodies? I imagine how my grandmother felt with a pantry full of jams or veggies to tide them through the year. I love seeing the jars used for decorative purposes, too.
    I'll bet my grandmother never thought of putting flowers in a jar for the table. :) Bless her heart.
