Oh Mason Jars, How I Love Thee

We all have our obsessions; shoes, chocolate, wine...mason jars. Yes, I love mason jars. Every time I go to my favorite antique shop I play a little game of "I Spy". I walk around and oogle at all the creative uses of mason jars. I love the variety of size & color.  I want to buy them all up and fill my house with them.  But alas, I hold back and just dream of the beautiful mason jars as they sit on the shelf.  Just look at them...


I love the green tint of the mason jars playing off the cobalt blue of the surrounding accessories here. 


These look GREAT upside down on a small glass bowl.  Put a candle in the jar and poof, a center piece!

This is my favorite! And yes, I bought it!  I will fill this with hand soap and put it in my main floor bath.  Ah LOVE!


The perfect spot for a tea light.

Now here are a few non-mason jars, but lovely none the less.  And the same thing could be done with mason jars!




Ok, thank you for indulging me. You have no idea how much fun I had searching out all the mason jars and taking these pictures.  Yes, I am a dork but I know you have your own decorating obsessions.  Please share...."hi, my name is _____ and I love____"
