Little Treasures: Canning Jars

Have you heard? Ball has rereleased their classic “Perfect Mason” blue jars for a limited time. I recently purchased a set and now they proudly sit next to their cousins from decades ago.

I’m not actually sure how old my original blue mason jar is, perhaps it is from a century ago. Just imagine all the foods that were stored and preserved in that jar since its creation. I still keep dried beans in it – when it’s not being photographed of course. There’s such potential in a canning jar and perhaps that’s why I, and so many others, like them so much. As the art of the homemade continues to rise in popularity, I can’t think of a better time to admire my little collection and start planning all the good things that will go in them next.

Thanks for letting me share my treasures with you, feel free to share yours in the comments!

This is part of a new series called, Little Treasures. It’s all about the little collections that find their way into our homes over the years.
