  • I love to use mason jars in all kinds of ways. We drink out of them. I use them as vases. They’re an easy vessel for candles. And what’s cuter than a little token of friendship, planted in a mason jar and tied up with a burlap strip? Not much, I tell ya. In honor… [Continue Reading]

  • I’m trying to think of something, anything, other than to complain about the crazy weather we’ve been having around here. But it’s sorta hard to do.
