Memories in Glass Jars ........

    These days,  I am crazy about colored bottles and glass jars (you know the apothecary jar types.. ) and when I saw these cute looking clear glass jars in the crockery section of  a nearby store, I had to get them...;-) ;-) ..  They are now filled with my collection of shells  from my travels and a few seeds and dried cones which reminds me of the place and the sweet times we had there......And ofcourse, my sweet little starfish had to be present....   So let me know, what you think about my easy-peasy arrangement ?!!??!

    I love the way you're displaying your memories. Anything that keeps the things we enjoy in view, but keeps the dust away, is a good thing. I'm following your blog. :)

    That's a great way to display your shells. Often times they sit in a box never to be seen again.
