My current obsession is the Mason jar. Not any old mason jar though, it has to be vintage and it has to be blue. My absolute favourite colour is soft blue in all of its hues and these little beauties just sing to me. Such a humble little item, but they are just so gorgeous, especially filled with peonies *love*.
The biggest obstacle to me not having these all over my house is that they were manufactured in America and are very hard to come by in Australia. Their popularity has soared with their use in weddings, parties and as highly collectable items. If we were lucky enough to be living in the US you could potentially pick them up at flea markets and bric-a-brac stores for as little as a dollar !!! Not so in Oz unfortunately as they are quite pricey to import.
I will definitely have these on my list to hunt for if I ever make it over to the USA. If anyone has a Mason jar that they no longer want, it can find a loving new home with me!
Love Love Love them! They will be finding a place at my wedding for sure!
ReplyDeleteYup, they really are divine, hmmmm maybe I need to take that trip overseas sooner rather than later. I would look rather odd boarding the plane with a carry on bag full of old bottles but I just couldn't trust putting those babies in the luggage hold.
