I love a country look... I am on a new journey!! In 2011, if God's willing, I will have my Shabby Chic/Primative Shoppe opening on the square in the little town of Garrison, Texas. (about 20 minutes north of Nacogdoches)

Refreshing Vintage Aqua Jars

Summertime. That fun in the sun time!!

Days spent by the pool or the ocean. I especially love the color of water - with it’s depth of translucence, and the way light reflects and dances on the surface. The next closest thing that captures those qualities is aqua colored glass. Remember your mother or grandmother canning vegetables with the aqua colored Mason Jars?


If you’re not into canning, the jars can have other functional and decorative uses. Summer dinner parties and intimate outdoor weddings are perfect occasions for bringing out the vintage jars and adding a touch of class in an inexpensive way.
