I have few collections, but these blue Ball jars are really starting to become a full-fledged collection in the Woodward home. I just can’t stay away. I can find them EVERYWHERE around here, they are inexpensive, and they look so pretty in my dining room.
I especially like the largest jars. And the zinc lids.
I spotted a crate of the blue jars at one of my favorite places last week (Sisters Garden and Bloom). So, of course I grabbed them as quickly as I could (you should have seen the looks I got in the store with a crate of blue jars, a world globe and a baby Henry in a Moby wrap). And I realized I hadn’t shared them with the world.
How dare I hold out on you?
Here’s my little corner hutch, looking all yellow and blue cheery.
I also filled several of the jars with the most gorgeous hydrangeas from my mother-in-law’s yard.
I’m kind of obsessed with them.
I’d love to keep them dried for fall arrangements. But right now, they are looking pretty lovely in the dining room.
And I’ve determined that the next house WILL have hydrangeas.
It’ll be my next collection.
Those blue jars are really neat, especially with the hydreas in them! They are one of my fav flowers:)
I might have a little bit of an obsession with hydrangea! I so wish I had some growing as well!
Blue and yellow look so pretty together. Isn’t it funny how collectable these jars have become? I was lucky enough to inherit a bunch from my grandmother and I enjoy using them so much. My mom uses several in her kitchen as canisters.
Thanks for stopping by my blog from Amanda’s. I haven’t been here in a while and have missed so much. I’m following along now!
Oh, Kim. I’m afraid you may have to join me in starting a treatment program for jar hoarders, er, collectors. I love ’em too!
Enjoy it girl, before it gets out of hand!!! ;0)
Brian’s grandmother gave me two of her blue bell jars that were HER mother’s- I love them too. Every time we put them out I feel like my house has a little more spunk.
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog! Maybe the list is attainable 🙂 Hopefully I will see yours soon!
I love Ball jars too!!!!! I have a couple in my Laundry room for clothes pins and change found in pockets.
They are awesome. I believe there is a Ball museum in Muncie. I went to Ball State University in Muncie, and the town was crawling with Ball jars 🙂
Hope you’ve had a good week.
I love hydrangeas.
They are so pretty! Your display in the hutch is absolutely gorgeous!
I can totally see why you are collecting them, they are really pretty!
Love them! And they look so perfect with your pops of yellow!
Where did you get those curtains by the way?!? I love them!
Love the jars! And I Love your curtains, that color is fabulous! I’m excited to be a new follower!
I love all things jars so I totally understand your love for the blue ball jars (lol…blue ball…). The hydrangeas are also very pretty. They remind me of an ‘end of Summer’s flower which is fitting since its now August 🙂
Kim, I think we need an updated dining room tour! Please? 🙂
I’m loving this collection! The blue is such a pretty shade of blue – perfect for hydrangeas!
I wish they were everywhere around here! They are super cool and look fantastic along side your yellow curtains:)
what a FANTASTIC wall color in that dining room ;).
I love the blue and yellow pairing! can you believe that i have never actually found a blue bell jar up here?? and i think this is the first time i have ever seen one of those zinc lids! SOO cooL!!
Ah, the blue ball jars and white hydrangeas were my fav part of my wedding decor. I am so jealous of your beautiful cabinet with the fun yellow and blue accents!! Gorgeous.
Love your ball jars combined with the yellow! You have great taste!!!
Blue Masons and hydrangeas make my life complete. they really are two of my most favorite things ever. Well them and you. Well ok, plus John and Gabe I suppose. But anyway. Love how they look in your cabinet. Can I have your dining room?
Kim,
Where did you get the corner hutch that shows off your blue bell jars so well?
I love your house! Seeing all these pics makes me want to hop in my car and come visit. : ) I absolutely adore hydrangeas. So far I’m failing at growing them, but someday I’ll get that figured out.
Very pretty! It’s two of my favourite things together. I cannot find those jars anywhere around here. You’re lucky you can. If I could, I would have a collection of them too 🙂
Ooooh I love the blue jars. And I LOVE hydrangeas- in the Pacific Northwest where I’m from, they grow like crazy. Not as well down here in the south but I’m trying REALLY hard to keep the two I have alive!!
