OK, I need some ideas from you creative minds out there! I have these big (these things are BIG) Apothecary jars that I got for Christmas. Yes, I display them like all together because I really have nowhere else to put them. I've had pinecones in there, and easter eggs and then these sparkly garlands. But I was looking for something else since Memorial Day & Fourth of July are over.
I looked around the house and thought of these. These are neck tags. We found them hanging from a palm tree in the backyard by the "barn" when we moved in. The previous owners had goats. I washed them up but had to pitch a few that were in really bad shape. I think it would look better if I had a little bit more, but I can't find any online that aren't brand new. Any suggestions?
And then I remembered I had a bunch of vintage wooden clothespins that I was using to hold ribbon. That storage system wasn't working for me, so I took all the ribbon off and used them here.
I filled mine with the decorative potpourri (spelling probably wrong) that you find at Marshalls. I has big interesting things in it like seed shells and flowers. It's hard witht he big ones I think...sea shells would be nice too for summer.
ReplyDeleteHappy treasure hunting!

I have a jar like this and I fill it with vintage thread. I find the thread breaks because of the age but they are so beautiful to look at.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest old spools of thread but I see that was already suggested. What about skeins of floss or how about that ribbon that you took off the clothespins.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the sea shells too!

LOL Thread was my idea too. Small ball of yarn? Shells? Sea glass? Dried lavendar? Old millinery flowers?
ReplyDeleteWOW - I LOVE these - and I love what you put in them! There are so many neat things to put in them - yarn? knitting needles? marbles? buttons? Can't wait to see what you decide!
