Little Decorated Glass Jars

I just can't seem to throw out a glass jar anymore, no matter how hard I try. I keep decorating them in hopes of selling them soon but I'm so busy I can't seem to find the time to list them somewhere. But it calms me to just sit in my studio and make them. Maybe someday...


And just threw this together. A little shabby chic ragged flower with a covered button. I loved making this. I think I'll wear it on a jacket instead of a t-shirt since I'll just pin it instead of sewing it on.

  6. They're awfully pretty, Connie. I miss crafting while I'm here in SD - so I totally understand why it calms you and makes you happy.

  9. Good morning sweet friend! You have inspired me! During my cupboard cleanout I trimmed up a lace jar and hot glued some faux flowers to it. I love your pretty label you used on the outside! I hope you have a lovely day,
    Hugs,

  12. Connie, you are so talented and like you, I can't make myself throw out jars. If my aunt can't use them,I try to think of ways to use them in my craft room. I like our idea of decorating them for tea light candles. The flower is so cute. I made one out of suede with my sizzex. Guess I should post it. Love and hugs, Pat

  16. Your bottle is gorgeous, Connie. I was so thrilled with my first bottle I did a couple weeks ago. Now I wouldn't think of EVER discarding a bottle ... it is fun.

    Have a great weekend.

  18. Connie it is so funny- I had clicked on your blog to come visit and while it was loading clicked on my yahoo mail to check it and saw you note left- We were thinking of each other at the same time!

    Your glass jars are just the sweetest!! I found a jar thrifting for 50 cents - I think I might have to try something like this with it!

    Happy PS

  19. Happy Pink Saturday COnnie Sweetie...
    I love this post and what beautiful pinks you have today. I love the way you decorate the jars. Recycling is such fun. I love the little pieces of rick rack that you also added, what an element of surprise.

    Love your little pin that you have made to wear on a dress, jacket or shirt. So cute. What a pretty button it makes. I know people must stop you and ask you where you buy these beautiful little surprises of yours. So pretty.

    Thank you for asking about my health. I thought it was just a cold, but Wednesday I found out it is pneumonia. I am on antibiotics and prednisone, some heavy duty cough syrup to surpress the cough, it has worked up my asthma something fierce. I have coughed so hard I pulled a chest muscle that is causing spasms across my chest and up into my neck. Very painful for now. I am still running 103 fever today, so resting as much as I can, but wanted to visit a few blogs while I was up.

    Have a beautiful May Day sweetie. Have a day filled with happiness and sunshine. Country hugs and much love...Sherry
