My love affair with Mason Jars

I use Mason Jars for everything.  Canning and keeping food, of course.  I also store my leftover green juices/smoothies in them, my dry herbs and seasonings, I even use them to store our cotton and qtips in the bathroom. 




I also use a large old one to keep all my grandfather's match books he collected around the world while in the military. (That's another Ball Jar with Epsom Salts next to it).










My love affair with Mason Jars extended to our wedding, where we used them for a very economical and simply lovely aisle decor.  The hydrangeas we got from a neighbor's back yard! 
 Today I have found a new joy in my jar use.  The thing I use them most for is drinking.  But, I have a tendency to fill one jar with water and then later wonder if the jar I find as I am moving about the house is the same one I've been drinking from or if it's yesterdays. . . Cleaning up our glasses regularly would probably be just as easy.  But today I've started writing the day of the week, so I know this is my drinking glass for the day.  A little silly, but way better than days of the week underwear!
