I really really love mason jars.  I like the big ones, the small ones, the tiny ones, the vintage ones, the new ones...I really love them all.  I used to think that they were a little too "country" for me, but they aren't. ; )  I like that they are durable, practical, and classic.  I "inherited" an even larger collection by digging them out of a garage sale pile last fall and the uses are endless.  Just to a name a few....

  • For drinks...I actually had a new set of glasses I ditched when I got my "new" set of mason jars.  We use them everyday...and in the rare occasion that one of these sturdy glasses breaks...all is well, because I can replace it so easily!

  • To store all your loose change.  Not sure why, but it just looks cooler. : )
  • For storage of baking ingredients, nuts, rice, noodles, etc.

Finally a Martha Stewart we can all do!
  • For light.  Martha Stewart has a gorgeous hanging mason jar lantern display using metal wires and candles inside the jars....such a pretty affect that a group of jars lit up has.

  2. they also make good coffee cups- they fit in the car and don't spill, just in case you are "over" putting a lot of money into the insulated kind that I always leave someplace, never to find again! If you lose this, no harm done (or money lost!)
