A few weeks ago, I picked up a big 'ole box of empty assorted jars and bottles at an estate sale, not quite sure what I would do with them.
They were just too cute to pass up, and at the very least, they would always serve some sort of storage-type purpose.
Empty jars are quite the popular thing in the crafty world today, but I had never really dabbled with them before.
I love all the crocheted and knitted coverings for bottles, but, alas, I do not know how to crochet (though it is on my list of to do's), and my knitting, quite frankly, is just not too hot these days.
I do however have a rather large assortment of yarn, and, after searching through some of my vintage-y craft books for inspiration, thought I would give this a try...
Now, WRAPPING yarn - that's not out of my scope of abilities. And combine it with some of my other favorite things... jute, old lace and fabric scraps...
... it makes one pretty little jar.
Add some little thrifted flowers, a tiny branch with a sweet message, and you've got a display to brighten your day.
Today is always a good day to be happy.
Much love,
