Transplanted Yankee currently living in Orange County, California. I love anything with a monogram on it, I'm a skin-care/make-up enthusiast (which includes but not limited to: long bubble baths, masking, massage therapy and power napping). Avid bruncher. Amateur historian and genealogist, all-around nerd. Short and sassy, loyal, funny, slightly sarcastic, practically blind, loves to read, travel, and spend time with family and friends. Happy empty nester; still madly in love with (and married to) my high school sweetheart. Drink of choice is a Cosmo, of course!
We all know about my obsession with mason jars but did you know about my love for apothecary jars? Apothecary jars are so multi-functional, so multi-seasonal!
These jars were very popular on Pinterest during the holidays. Very simple to change the contents, change the ribbon and switch out the letters.
Here's another variation for Christmas. You can do this at Easter with Jellybeans or Valentine's Day with conversation candy hearts. I recently saw the Easter grass photo on Pinterest and LOVED it! You can use apothecary jars in the bath to hold soaps, sponges/loofas, bath crytals, q-tips/cotton balls, bath bombs, etc.
And apothecary jars are perfect for candy buffets! The candy bar always looks better when your candies and color/theme coordinate. Keep everything in the same color scheme and it looks amazing!
If you have a beachy themed home, apothecary jars are perfect for your beach treasures -- your collection of shells, smooth rocks, starfish, sea glass, etc.
And how cool is this! Using apothecary jars in the laundry room! If you use powder detergent, wouldn't laundry be less of a chore if you had a beautiful jar on hand and maybe a special silver scoop???
