Vintage Mason Jar Vases

Vintage mason jars make simple and easy vases for fresh flowers | A Burst of Beautiful

Good morning friends, and welcome to another edition of Trash to Treasure, you can learn more about this series here.

One of my favorite ways to spend  my time is to browse around flea markets, second-hand stores and antique fairs.  I love spending a leisurely day perusing hidden treasures and imagining their past lives, coffee in hand, and of course with my favorite people by my side. It’s one of our favorite summer weekend rituals.

When we are on these adventures I am always on the look-out for glass bottles, especially vintage mason jars. I think they have such a pretty patina, and I love displaying them around our home. I always have a bunch of them grouped together on our open shelves in our kitchen.

Not only are they beautiful, but they are also functional. They look eclectic in a kitchen filled with dried bulk foods, like beans or pasta, add a few to your studio desk to corral pens or paintbrushes, or fill them with the dry ingredients needed for your favorite baked goodies as a simple and thoughtful gift (I don’t recommend using vintage jars for this, new mason jars will look just a charming).

But my favorite way to use vintage mason jars is as vases. A handful of fresh flowers looks simple and effortless arranged in vintage jars.

They are my go-to vessels for creating beautiful and easy flower arrangements any time of the year.

Bunches of perky tulips nestled in vintage mason jars look fresh and happy on our dining table, ready for a simple morning brunch. You can see more of our dining room and living room refresh here.

I recently used vintage mason jars at our daughter’s first birthday, filled with tulips (my favorite) and baby’s breath. You can see all of the details here.

I would love to hear how you use mason jars, vintage or new. Just leave me a comment below.

Have a happy day!

Am I the only one that feels like our home is neve Am I the only one that feels like our home is never really finished, even after a big renovation? 🙋🏻‍♀️We shared our finished renovation a few months ago but we knew there would still be additions to make in the weeks and months ahead. I've added a few new pieces of decor and we installed a custom roman shade, but the biggest change we made was replacing our kitchen appliances. It's a big investment, but one that is worth it.We partnered with our friends at @frigidairecanada to update our existing appliances and today we are sharing all about it, from why we chose @frigidairecanada appliances again to the favourite features we're swooning over.
