Decorating with Aqua Mason Jars
One of my favorite decorating tips, is to use Aqua Mason Jars. I have been pretty lucky to have found most of the ones I use, because they can be a little pricey, sometimes $3 or $4 each. During the Summer, my Father-in-law sold his farm and the family was lucky enough to choose what we wanted. I’ve shared my Chicken Feeder with you, and the little tricycle too. We also brought back quite a few jars, mostly the Aqua Mason Jars, but also some others.
I found this wire basket in the barn, at my Father-in-laws, and lots of different sizes of jars.
On the windowsill in my Dining Room, I fill them with a candle…
And on the table to hold ivy and grass from the yard…
And even in our Bathroom, to hold Q-tips, Band-Aids and Cotton Balls.
Even if you don’t have the Aqua Mason Jars, using any shape or size jar adds a little character to your decorating as well as being pretty frugal too.
Do you decorate with mason jars? Which are your favorites?

Any other comments you’d like to include would be great. 🙂 I hope to get

National page. I also have a New York page and I’ll publish there if the
issues aren’t straightened out soon. 🙂 You can see some of the NY articles

You have such wonderful decorating ideas! I write a column for the Examiner.com and our focus for August is DIY home. I’d love do a feature article on you. If you are interested please let me know! Thanks!
@Rebecca, I’m very honored! Yes, you can most certainly do an article. Please let me know if you need anything. Most all my home posts are under the Decorating and Gardening categories.
Thanks so much!

wish i could find some, always have my eye out but can only find expensive ones on ebay! they look so cute in that wire basket. farms have the best stuff!
These are beautiful! I love them in the bathroom to hold all the little bits!
Here from NFF, happy weekend!
Oh I have had a fascination with old mason jars for years and have them all over the house. I LOVE the aqua ones most of all. I Love to fill them with fresh cut roses…among other things! Mason jars are just so versatile!
Wonderful booty! Lovely that you have the story and history behind them as well –
Love the jars & lucky you that you found them!
I have seen them for as much as $18 a jar:)
What a lovely color! I especially like them in the bathroom to hold odds and ends. Much more attractive way to hold them than in the original packages.
Love your jars. I have several also and love decorating with them. I also love your basket…
Partying with you tonight. Stop by for a visit if you have a chance.
I too love these jars. The vintage color is just so warm. You have them displayed in so many nice ways. TFS>
Your Mason jars are beautifully repurposed. Great job!
I love old blue mason jars. I have a few myself. I spotted one the other day at a thrift store and didn’t buy it because it didn’t have the lid. I wish I would have thought to use them as a vase like you did.
Hi Liz…
Oooh…I love all the old aqua colored canning jars! They look fabulous displayed in the old wire basket! So many great uses…they’re beautiful and functional all at the same time! Thanks for sharing your treasures with us today!
Warmest wishes,

This is so pretty..love it!!
I must admit I have a weakness for aqua mason jars. They are just so darn pretty and they have so many uses.
