One Of These Days

 I've always liked the color, and the nostalgia of these jars. 
  One of these days I'll do a painting of them. 
   About 20 years ago, ... I was renting space in a Craft Mall and made vintage things to sell, so my weekends were spent trekking through Flea Markets and such. I started to collect these jars, old ceramic mixing bowls, and too many things to mention here.
     I still have a few of these and one is even my water jar for painting.. love that vintage feel.  
 I was probably another life in the 1800's .. BJ

  3. Dear BJ - You and I must be on the same wave length because I have some of these jars on my shelves and was thinking a drawing or painting of these would be nice - I use mine to store rice, oats, etc. You are right - the color is lovely. Have a great day xo xo - Debbie

  4. Oh I can see why you love these, BJ. I would love them too and I also think I could have have happily lived in the 1800s.

  5. I love these. I recently took out my many regular canning jars to use for storage for everything from teabags to quinoa. They look so much better than tupperware! I would love to find some old blue jars! Have a great day

  6. I do use them, oatmeal, all kinds of dry goods. yes, they do look better than plastic,
    I leave them right on my counter.
    You can still get them at flea markets, I use to get them for a couple dollars, now they want $6-8 each one.
    Wow how come we don't get that kind of upgrade as we get older. ????LOL !
