Happy Friday! :)
When I was a little girl, my parents would always take us to our favorite quaint restaurant.
Besides their delicious food (waffles with whipped cream and strawberries!), I loved loved loved how they served all their drinks in mason jars!
Even though I love mason jars, I don't think we ever really bought any to use at home.
A couple of months ago, however, my Mom bought tomato sauce in jars.
When the time came for me to get rid of those jars, I had a maybe not-so-brilliant idea... I'll wash them and I'll have mason jars!
So, that's what I did (this is probably the closest thing I'm ever gonna get to a DIY, by the way, haha!) -- I washed the jars thoroughly, I carefully took off the labels, and I scratched off the remaining parts of the sticky label... et voilà:
Yay, mason jars!
I've just been using them mainly as drinking glasses, as I shared on Twitter:
Sorry, that's a really bad iPhone photo! :/
We should just look at beautiful Pinterest photos! ;)

Candle holders --
Vase --

I know a lot of you guys love mason jars too, so...
Where do you get your mason jars from?
How do you use them? Any new ideas?
I hope you are all having a great day so far!
And happy weekend! :D

DeleteMy name is Alandre, I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
