Jars, in the window at the shop, full of buttons, bling and those little treasures I can't throw away.

Jars of bells and jars of nuts, bolts,

 In the bathroom, sea shells and body parts?

Just a jar full of doll parts .

Don't everyone have them?

Hummmm.

CHRISTMAS?

 no, but this year has flown by,

As they seen to do now.

The picture is of a few blue medicine bottles.

It is such a pretty blue.

I even have a  jar with  a bow tie.

All dress up and no where to go.

Just waiting for more, more buttons.

BUTTON

  BUTTON

who's GOT THE BUTTON

In my studio I pack everything in a jar.

A jar on pearls, push pins, safety pins,  and jars full of junk.

Junky Junk, I love them...

Even on the toy wall is a selection of jars with the not so favorite game pieces.

I really don't want them to play with these without an adult, because they never, ever get put back in the jars. But I think they look good. 

Just a few jars in the china cabinet full of dice and thimbles.

Don't they look good?

I get a new jar and have to fill it up or start a new collection.

HAVE A FEW PICTURE OF ONE OF MY MANY COLLECTION. JARS JARS AND MORE JARS.

FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES I WILL POST THIS LITTLE COLLECTION.

THE LOVE OF THE JARS CAME WHEN I REALIZED THERE WILL SOON NOT BE GLASS JARS.

ALMOST ALL FOOD PRODUCTS ARE NOW IN PLASTIC.

I THINK PICKLES, MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT.

SO, ONE DAY OUR GREAT GRANDS WILL NOT KNOW WHAT A GLASS JAR IS, LIKE OUR KIDS DON'T KNOW WHAT LIFE WAS WITH OUT A REMOTE WAS LIKE.

MY PARENTS REMOTE WAS....KID GO CHANGE THAT CHANNEL.

THESE JARS ARE FILLED FOR MY 3 GRANDS, THEY WALK IN MY HOUSE HUNGRY.

SO THEY ARE JUST FOR THEM...AND HUBBY TOO!

My sweet friend started this........thanks, Linda!!!

Linda gifted me a jar full of treasures for my 50th all in red.

I still love it and empty it and look through all the treasures often.

With that said, I have copied her gift idea  a few times.

Once when Tonya moved into her new house and this jar full of JUNK for a crafty friend, that is graduating soon.

She is a crafty girl, that paid her rent one month, selling her crafts.

I love that!

She is a sweet sweet girl and I wish you all the luck and lots of inspiration.

Have I told you I enjoy baking?

I would bake all the time if I had someone that would eat it.

These are tea cake cookies.

My grandmother and Aunt Toots made these.

Sometimes I just have to bake them.

Come by the shop tomorrow, I will be passing out cookies.

WOW!

Love, Love Love what Barbara June done  to this styrofoam head.

She is a unique chic.

Now I have one and have to try and come up with a idea.

Have you ever had creative block?

Well, for the last 2 weeks, I have been.

I am trying hard to create with no success.

What ever I make, I trash.

I hate it when I am blocked.



Do you see where I went over the weekend?

It was a trip to Tennessee to see the Amish.

Had a great time and it was a needed trip.

I had been ready these Amish books and thought I would love to live there.

But the first farm we stopped at, I stood and took it all in.

The air was cool and there was a breeze, so I could smell the hog pin or the horse poo.

So I climbed back into the car and let the idea of living among the Amish go.

But I did get Butter, bread ( still warm from the oven), homemade jam, pickled beets, and a few pot holders.

I enjoyed the day, wanna go back, next time with a truck , so I can get a few rockers.
