Our school holidays start today! yay! and the girls dont go back to school untill the 29th of Jan....so looking forward to having some quality family time with them. The years are flying by and time together is precious, they are growing up so fast! (Mind you I may feel differently by the end of the hols hehehe, then we are all usually ready to start our new school year)
Anyhoo, heres another little Christmassy something....
Ordered some mason jars online and have plenty of ideas of what I can use them for. There are ideas all over Pinterest, hundreds of uses! not just for jams and pickling/preserving anymore.
I filled them with water and placed a sprig of pine in with a floating candle, I think they look simple and pretty, especially of an evening.
I am planning on using them for drinks too, especially with a nice glass of Pimms! found this image online (sorry cant find original source), but wanted to share...
(Obviously they would have to be served with the straws, cant imagine it would be that easy drinking from a jar....)
Where I got my idea from... Mason Jar for floating candles/berrries....this one from bell'alimento blog
.....what about a snowglobe style....this is cute!
(from mother rising blog)
Below is another image found online (original source unknown...will continue my investigating and update when/if I can find). These are gorgeous!
note: I do always try to link back to original source...not always easy via Pinterest, but all these images and loads more are all on my Pinterest Christmas board here.
Anyhoo, the possibilites really are endless! but I love this look. I found my mason jars on ebay (Australia). The company is Ball and Kerr Mason Australia
A box of 12 cost me about $40....half of that was pretty much the postage, but I do love them...
Bye for now!
Must go....girls are ready for some holiday fun
