I'm a sucker for quirky glass jars/vases/jugs, etc. I have absolutely no practical use for them but they are too cute to pass up!
My husband does not share in the enthusiasm, but he's a good sport about my glass hoarding as long as I keep it contained to a couple areas.
Have you seen the
amazing distressed glasses at Anderson and Grant??? It was the inspiration for a few of the more fun glass pieces in my collection. Her page also has a fantastic tutorial to follow.

The jars above include: rum jug, spagetti jar, honey jar, maple syrup jar, and other fun finds. On occasion I have been known to buy a certain brand of sauce based on my attraction to the jar verses its contents.

| is it me, or does this kinda look like worms? |

| luckily the finished product didn't turn out looking like worms, lol |
The salt & pepper shakers were sealed, though, with polycrylic. There is an imminent future of grubby hands leaving all manner of sauces and goo on their pretty selves.

| love these made-over dollar store shakers |
A question for other glass hoarders: What do you do with your quirky finds?
Lovely jars!. I hoard them too but so far I haven't done much with them. :-)

I love all the painted jars, I just saw where someone painted the little short apple juice jars in an antique store, they looked so cute!

Great job. My husband has recently discovered my mason jar cabinet- probably have a a hundred. I need to find some use for them because my grand plans for canning never really happened. I love these, thanks!
