Sometimes the easiest way to decorate is by keeping things simple. And that’s exactly what we did with the anniversary edition of the well-loved blue Ball Jars.
For the past 6 years since we moved into our home, we’ve wanted colored glass to go into this window ledge above our sliding door that goes out to our patio. We just couldn’t find the perfect pieces.
And then Ball came out with these jars. And now we can check off one item on our giant home project list! An easy sense of accomplishment!
Hope everyone has a restful and relaxing Labor Day weekend here in the US!

Laura, I have some originals from years ago in my collection of canning jars–I actually can fruits and tomatoes and pickles as well as jellies and preserves, though not as much as I used to. I love those blue jars!
I have some vintage jars and bottles, but not any of the original blue jars. You’re so lucky to have them, and I love that you are using them too! I’m always on the hunt for them when I hit the vintage shops. 🙂
We have a few original vintage blue jars that I decorate with. I love mason jars. I have a whole board on Pinterest with mason jar ideas. There are tutorials to tint them as well. On my to do list after I finish canning :).
Thanks for letting me know about your mason jars board on Pinterest, which I’m now following you there too! Love that you have some original ones!
I love those blue ball jars too! 🙂
Aren’t they the absolute best, Katie? 🙂
