Welcome to the last day of
Mr. Fix-It and I have been trying to be more diligent in bringing our lunch to the office, as well as, loading up on salads. We’ve been using these large (1 litre) mason jars to hold our salad. I try to make up four of them at a time so we each have one for the day and another ready to go the next day. The benefits…lunch is made, our food is in glass containers & not plastic, a great way to use up items in the fridge, the layers look yummy and it's oh so easy.
The salad changes based on what’s in the fridge. I keep a jar of dressing at the office (oil & vinegar is my fav) and Mr. Fix-It likes his dressing free. Naked salad.
Mason jars might be trending but using them
as a vase is a classic.
Mason jar lighting hack. You can do it too!
How pretty and easy is this for the holidays? I think I may do this for my urns outside this year. Outdoor candlelight in the winter is a lovely way to welcome your guests.
When we came home from our trip South last winter, our big guy created this beach in a jar. Literally, its sand, seashells and water mixed with blue food colouring. It was easy to do and it reminds him of the beach.
I’ve had my sewing kit (clearly an indication of how much I sew by the few spools of thread and needles I have) in a plastic baggy forever. Ghetto.
In a few easy steps, this mason jar transformed into a sewing kit. Stay tuned next week for the simple how-to tutorial.

I've used mason jars as a hostess gift for the holiday season. Inside the jar layer with the ingredients for your favourite muffin or cookie recipe, wrap with a festive bow and your hostess will love this useful gift.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make salads in the mason jars!
ReplyDeleteI'd create a cute sewing kit. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh I liked the salad in a jar, yum!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the gold painted mason jars you showed on Daytime Ottawa today! My current mason jar love are hand-made candles in mason jars that I picked up on my summer travels. (I never want them to melt out completely!) Although in looking at this post, I am really into these mason jar soap dispensers. Those look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI use Mason jars to store baking goodies as well as dried beans etc. Can see at a glance what I have and also what I need to stock up on.
ReplyDeleteI want to make the salad in the jar! Wow, that looks good!
ReplyDeleteI picked up some antique jars at a farm auction 2 yrs ago & have been addicted ever since. Mine are colored & have different shapes due to the age of the jars. They are sitting on my window ledge as the light going through them is fantastic in the morning. Love your ideas, as specially making hanging lights.
ReplyDeleteI'd make big colorful salads that might help me get over the case of salad blues that I have these days!
ReplyDeleteto hold bulk food items like candy, chocolate chips, granola...would think of more things too with time!!
