I’m weighing in on Ball Jar Love and the introduction of Purple Heritage Collection Ball Jars!
I find myself craving color and flowers and in need of a little pick-me-up when it’s cold and gray this time of year.
Purple Heritage Collection Ball Jars provide a little bliss and are just what the doctor ordered for the Punxsutawney Blues and 6 more weeks of winter!
These purple jars are the last in the 3 year series of Heritage Collection Jars. 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the development of a series of jars, designed by the Ball brothers, each intended to be better than the one before.
1913 saw the launch of the first true “Perfect Mason” jar, followed in 1914 by the “PERFECTION”, then the “IMPROVED” introduction in 1915.
These limited edition Purple Heritage Collection Jars feature period-inspired purple color and embossed logos on front and back.
I filled my jars with flowers for an early spring bloom in my Potting Shed.
And found bundles of white and purple Stock at Trader Joe’s for $2.99.
In case you’re in need of color and a little bliss too, I’m sharing some Ball Jar Love and giving away 2 sets of 6 Purple Ball Heritage Collection Regular Mouth Pint Jars.
Made in USA, (hooray!) these vintage-inspired purple jars maintain the same quality, performance and structure as current Regular Mouth pint jars.
Ideal for your home canning needs or as a collectible item or flower fix :)

Such a romantic color! Love your scattering of bulbs too Mary! I’d probably split them up and use them for a little bit of everything… The purple would have perked up my light colored banana jam, they make gorgeous vases and I can see them holding all kinds of crafting supplies in the studio! Thanks for the fun give-away and pretty pick-me-up on a wet, wintery mix morning:@)
Hi Mary! I LOVE these purple jars!! As you know, purple is my favorite color!! I follow you everywhere I possibly can…via email, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and I will be sharing this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, GooglePlus and Pinterest! Fun Giveaway!! Hugs to the girls! xo Jeanne
Love the purple color….would use them for vases they are such a special color. Reminds me of spring and spring flowers blooming in my garden. Would look beautiful with yellow tulips in the jar.
Love the color! I would use them for storage and flowers. I follow you on Facebook and Pinterest, as well as subscribe by email to your blog. Love all of your posts!
They would be perfect for displaying my shells and sea glass
This post made MY day! Stock is one of my favorite flowers – such a delightful fragrance – and these are really beautiful. And I love the purple and white plate, the little embossed metal pitcher and the vintage spoon with the “garden on” inscription. The entire post is lovely and a real day-brightener! The purple jars are beautiful, too. I would use them for my homemade blackberry jam. (I am down to the last jar of the 2014 batch and plan to give it to my son for Valentine’s Day.) I follow you via email and will post this on facebook. Have a blessed day!
Purple is my favorite color and I would use them to put my flowers in from my garden this summer! The jars are absolutely especially the way you displayed them on the window sill with the light shining through!
would love this color for my ball jar collection of blue ones and clear ones. and I always grab them for whatever. collections, flowers. many uses. thanks!!
Angela (from NJ!!)
I had a bit of trouble with it, but finally got this posted to my facebook page!
Mary, I already have my purple jars filled with forced spring flowers–yellow daffs and white tulips, hoping to chase away the winter blues here too! They look nice with the last two years of jars and I’m planning to use them all for an Easter table. I was sad to hear there will only be the three years of special colors! I hoped they would continue. Love your purple transferware :) Linda
Yes please enter me. I love these and have they other colors from last year. Would really love to have the purple to add to my collection! I also follow you on facebook.
I wou;d use them for canning and flowers, I have all colors od lilacs, they would look grein theseat
I follow your blog and love it! I would use one of the jars in my craft room, I think white buttons would look great in the purple. I could see some Easter eggs in another. The rest I would use for the original purpose and put homemade pear preserves in them. I do this project each year with my Dad using pears from a tree that has been on the family farm for more than 100 years! Thanks for the give away.
P.S. I was so excited I didn’t read it right. I would use them for flowers or make candle jar as I did for Christmas gifts this past year. They were so cute with wires and berries around the top and a candle inside.
I love your blog and your potting shed! I would use these pretty jars for displaying flowers around my home!
Thank you!
I would probably use these for vases, like you have. The purple is so unusual! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I am following you on Facebook!
I have shared this give-away on my Facebook page!
I would use them for a bouquet of pink tulips with raffia ribbon tied around the top of the jar.
I would love to use the purple Ball jars on my pastel Easter table centerpiece. What a lovely
addition they would holding yellow daffodils and white tulips! Thank you for offering this give away.
Have followed your blog, Pinterest boards and Facebook page for years. Love your post and your style, and find myself looking at your pictures saying “I should have used that item like that”. What talent you have and I am envious of your collection of things!
Janie Raleigh, NC
Love the purple with flowers on a dreary day, would look perfect in my guest room for company.
As always–exquisite decorating taste and ideas! These would be so pretty with my purple carnival glass centerpiece bowl and white ironstone and spring song birds tumblers. Spring luncheon, here we come. :) Thanks for all you do to jump start our own creative tables. jw
I would use for flowers, beautiful in a window with the sun shinning through.
Love reading your blog. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
Since I don’t have a potting shed, I decorate my corner China cabinet for the seasons. I would use them for that. They would make a wonderful addition for Lent, Easter, & Advent, Fall which is right before Christmas. Flowers, shells, river rocks, candles (I use a lot of battery operated candles), small terrarium are fun too. I follow you on Facebook also and have shared this page as well. Thanks again for another give away. Something to look forward to during the last week’s of winter.
I think flowers would be my choice to show off those beautiful jars!!
These are just too pretty to can with! I would use them in crafting, as a vase, or I would fill them with goodies and give as gifts. Sharing to FB now. Thank you!
These are just so pretty! Too pretty I think for canning. I would use them to hold flowers from my garden (when spring comes) and for my knitting. Thank you so much for this chance!
I love these jars! Purple is my favorite color!! I would put flowers in them and place them everywhere (as you have done)! I also shared on facebook….
Good morning! Purple is my color and I would definitely use them for flowers! Spring is around the corner and would just brighten any room you put them in. 🌹🌸💐
I have the blue jars, as well as the green from last year and I would love to have a set of three in my wooden carpenter’s box with all colors of spring flowers in them. This is a wonderful giveaway.
I am an email follower who enjoys your innovative ideas. I would use the purple ball jars for flowers and crafting supplies. Purple is also my favorite color. It goes so well with both cool and warm colors!
I have been an email subscriber for a long time and so look forward to each post. Your style is amazing and I would love to have a potting shed like yours.
I bought some hurricane lamp tops and metal wick that can be used for light. I actually love to light them for dinner on my kitchen setting. I just love decorating and changing the jars for my kitchen table. This color would look lovely in my Tuscan, grape themed kitchen! Would love to win,
The purple jars are so pretty, Mary, especially near the purple transferware plate. I love them filled with flowers, as you have done. You’re so generous with your lovely giveaways. You make us long for Spring time.
What a beautiful color to add to my Easter and Spring mantle, I would fill them with fresh flowers.I am enjoying your posts and looking forward to spring ( looking out the window to yet another snowy day here in New England) I am an email subscriber as well as a facebook, thank you for all the wonderful ideas.
I enjoy purple three seasons of the year but especially during springtime when my tall beautiful purple iris are in full bloom. Bringing the color indoors compliments the yellow, soft green and lilac accents throughout my living areas. The lovely jars filled with fragrant blossoms would add the perfect finishing touch.
I love the purple jars! I am planning a children’s tea with a fairy garden theme and the color will be perfect. Love you blog and follow through email. Your beautiful things always make my day.
Perfect for vases, floating candles and storage. Love the purple color.
Each time you post another beautiful story you put sunshine in my life. And now purple!!
Love mason jars for their versatility, and purple just makes them more fun to use!!
I saw how to use jars for an Herb Garden, jar garden. This is how I would use some of them. They would be so lovely mounted on a whitewashed board hanging in the sunroom. Wow I so look forward to Spring and gardening.
Mary, I follow you on facebook & pinterest.. Your Blog is so inspiring. Thank You..
Storage! And somewhere to store my homemade concoctions!
Oooh, these jars are fun! I’d run right out and buy some stock to put in them. I cut pussy willows yesterday and put them in blue and green jars. The purple would be a wonderful addition.!! They will be gorgeous with zinnias this summer and great for gifting paperwhites next Christmas. I so enjoy receiving your emails.
Hi again Mary. Just shared this on Facebook!! Have a Beautiful Day!!
What is it about Ball jars that is just so appealing? I just LOVE them and have them in clear, great for painting :) and blue, so pretty and green, fun for spring and summer flowers~ I like to use the wide mouth pint size for cookies and crackers, they stay fresh for weeks. I will have to have some purple ones now, wouldn’t they be great for an outdoor Easter tablescape or picnic! I love them styled in your potting shed with flowers, bulbs, china and all your pretties! What a lovely giveaway Mary!
Jenna
As this cold and gray day envelopes me your beautiful jars are a breath of the spring to come! I love how the light shines through them so I would love to create beaded wire hangers so I can suspend them over my kitchen window and fill them with beautiful fragrant blossoms!
I am a follower of yours via email !
I also follow and like your Facebook page!
I bought some pink tulips yesterday that would look so pretty in the purple jars! I would definitely use them for flowers. I follow you on fB and Pinterest and enjoy your blog :)
I have shared your generous giveaway on my Facebook page too!!!
I love your designs as always and especially now with seeing your Spring creations as the winter blues are setting in. Are your flower bulbs real or faux? I’ve been looking for some realistic bulbs to decorate with but haven’t had much luck. Anyone have a source of where to buy?
Hi Kathryn, The bulbs are real, I don’t know of a source for realistic faux ones unfortunately.
I would use the new beautiful jars for my colorful marble collection
I needed a little garden magic in my life, stormy weekend, love the garden refresh~
Purple is my color! I use ball jars for storing nuts, rice, coconut, chocolate chips and pasta- lots of things! My bedroom is purple, so I could use the jars as vases in there! Your photos are gorgeous as usual!
I would use the beautiful jars for my marble collection!
I would fill the purple jars with fresh flowers and give some of them away as springtime gifts to my friends. Of course I would keep a couple for my own enjoyment too.
These would brighten things up while waiting to put the boat in the water this spring!
I would use them as you have, filled with flowers.
I follow by email.
I would use them for daffodil arrangements this spring.
I like your on Facebook.
I love and collect purple glass, these are so charming, I would find many uses for them. Thank you Mary! Also following you on Facebook and plan to share this lovely post!
I shared this post on Twitter and Facebook.
L.O.V.E!!!!!!! everything you do!
The purple jars are amazing. I’ve never seen any before. I would definitely use them for decorating-imagining lilacs or hyacinths in them. Maybe yellow daffodils? The possibilities are endless.
Love jars! I would use them to decorate with flowers, candles, and burlap. Purple is my birthstone. My birthday is February 20th! Hope to hear from you 😃😉
I love this color! I’ve been a collector of the vintage turquoise jars for decades. We use ball jars for drinking glasses in our home and this color would work great with my green tablecloth. I would also use them in the bath of our lakehouse in which I am using lavender and white to store qtips and cotton puffs.
I would love to win the giveaway! The purple ball jars are gorgeous! I wouldn’t use them for canning or storage, they are to beautiful to be hidden away. I would use them just for flowers so everyone could see and admire them!

These beautiful jars.
Beautiful post and I’m a huge fan of the mason jars! I use mason jars for everything from decorating to storage of special treasures. I love to find a specially old one at auctions. But I did not know about the history and that was why the reissue! Love that they kept it American!!! Thanks for the info, and the chance at this gift of them.
I am subscribed to your email. I follow on Pinterest and Facebook.
Beautiful color for February!! My birthday month and color!!! Would definitely use them for flowers to brighten up the winter blahs!!!
Ball jars are iconic of country living. There are so many ways to use them. Spring flowers, summer utensil holders for bbq, red maple leaves in fall, and fairy light lanterns in winter. And most importantly, they provide year round smiles.
Such pretty jars! I would use for spring flowers on the window sills and to store goodies like homemade granola. Nice for gifting filled with spiced pecans.
I follow by e-mail and pinterest.I LOVE everything you do.
These would be great for storing bath salts. I use lavender scented and the purple would fit right in! I look forward to your emails. Always brighten my day!
I follow by email… I would use my jars for flowers ( and to share with a friend! ) Thank You
Gorgeous jars! I waited too long when I saw them advertised, and I missed the boat! Nice giveaway — maybe I will win.
Great post today, Mary! Always love when you play in the garden shed. Snow & freezing rain today in New York and your post is so uplifting, as are the purple jars…how beautiful are they?!!
I think I would use them for all kinds of things, from drinking glasses, to vases, for storage, or even as gifts. My middle daughter just loves purple glass. Wish me luck!
Your post was the first one I checked this morning. Another cold, gray winter day in snowy northern Illinois. I love the beautiful purple Ball jars. I think I would use them as Margarita glasses to help my friends and me get through the rest of winter! After that possibly they could be scattered around wedding reception tables at my daughter’s wedding, just randomly with fresh flowers. Thank you for your posts, such inspiration!!!

I would use them for SO MANY THINGS!
Oh my gosh, this is so stunning! I have to get some of those purple jars as purple is Meredith’s favorite color & she is learning to can! xoxo, A
I love Mason Jars and have collected them for years. The purple is beautiful and I can picture some white flowers in them.
I would love a set of these for my design studio to hold any number of crafting or jewelry supplies…..nice subtle color! I also subscribe to your blog (which I LOVE).
Wow! The purple is beautiful! I love your blog and follow you on both pintrest and your blog.
What a beautiful color – so romantic and just call out to be used for holding flowers in the guest bedroom. Thanks for the opportunity – my fingers are crossed!
Fellow Charlottean who has been a follower for some time. My potting shed wants to be like yours when it grows up!
WOW!, Mary! What a beautiful blog! I think it’s my fav yet! Love the jars and would especially love them in my house! Probably would use them mostly for vases, but I’m sure other great ideas will come to me as time goes by.Purple is my color!
Mary,I posted on facebook.
The jars will be great for desktop orgsnization, or even organization in the kitchrn, bathroom…wherever a splash if purple and organization is needed.
Every 3 months or so I have a special dinner party for a group of prior co-workers. These ladies are so special that I make every effort to make each party memorable. I think about my spring celebration last year and these jars would have been the perfect addition to my tablescape. ( I would love to share a picture). My dining room is a regal purple and I can envision using these for flowers from my garden such as lilacs, lavender, purple balloon flowers, hydrangeas and the list goes on. They would be a beautiful vessel to showcase and share.
What joy to open my email on this cold, cloudy day in Michigan. The marriage of these rare purple canning jars and fresh flowers is so refreshing. I would love to see these in my home with fresh, sweet smelling roses. If I was one of the fortunate winners, I would share these lovely jars with my daughter and my friend Nancy……filled with some sweet treat of course.
Definitely flowers but also special prizes (filled with candy, inspirational notes, and flowers) for Relay For Life contests. Purple is the color for survivors and as the Event Chair, I’m always looking for ways to motivate my teams. Also, purple is the color for our local high school…oh the possibilities are endless. Thanks for the contest.
I “liked” your FB page and shared your contest on mine.
These canning jars are gorgeous, if canning jars can be?! I love canning and making my special hot pepper relish so I guess I would fill the jars with my homemade delight and share with family, neighbors and friends…but hide one away just for me :)
By the way, I made your beautiful cardamom and pear loaf yesterday and it was wonderful! the whole pears surprised everyone and they loved every bite. It’s a great recipe and I will definitely be using more cardamom in the future.
Thanks for all you do, your website is a joy to visit.
Thanks Lisa, Glad your Cardamom Pear Cake was a hit!
I sure am a loyal and delighted follower!
I would love them for flowers or storage OR on my vanity table for make-up brushes:) OR, on a desk for pens and pencils, or in the kitchen for utensils. LOTS of uses:)
Love your blog! You are so talented, so many great ideas! Think I would use these beautiful jars mostly as a vase for flowers and candles. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
These are SOOOO beautiful! Love purple! I would use them for flowers & storage! Thanks for the opportunity!
I would use these to hold home made raisins, dehydrated from our Red Reliance grapes, & I would put one of the ceramic coated “grape” rings from the collection of fancy lids Ball put out 10-15 years ago on top. They look beautiful together, & pretty enough to leave the jar on the counter as a decorative accent, filled with yummy goodness.
I just made purple fascinators for my friends and me to wear to the Downton Abbey exhibit at Wintethur and a purple ball jar would be perfect to use for displaying them. So I would give each of my friends one of the jars and use one of them myself to display my fascinator.
I will use them for storage and as a nice little way to package a gift.
I follow you on email and pinterest too! I would love to have these for crafting and one for my table with real flowers!
The jars are beautiful. They would be perfect filled with flowers for my purple loving cousin. Her birthday is Feb. 25th so timing would be right. Ok, I might just have to keep one for myself.
I would love to use them with my summer purple flowers and they would also be great for Easter bouquets. As usual Mary, your presentation is beautiful – looking at your blog makes me happy!
I love the new Ball jar color! I would use these in many different ways…….A vase…….to hold tea on kitchen counter……to hold silverware and napkin with my lilac floral table setting……As a section of a tree made out of all colors of Ball jars…… :)
The jars are a beautiful color of purple. I would use them for flowers and adorn my Easter Table this year–they would compliment my Easter tablecloth. I need to get myself to Trader Joe’s to see if they have stock–I love the fragrance!! Thank you for your inspiration and talents.
First time to your blog and I think that I will subscribe since our taste are very similar. I have been on the hunt for these jars because I want to make some soap dispensers for my bath and kitchen and then have on hand for birthday gifts for friends and family. I have been using Ball jars for display for years.
I will run to Trader Joe’s to get some stock…they always have lovely flowers…and I keep my canary seed in a large blue mason jar…but flowers are perfect for showing off the beautiful glass! Your site is so lovely…thank you.
I love Ball jars and would use the purple ones for everything!
I would use the purple jars to hold flowers. I, too, love stock but would also love to see these jars filled with a bouquet of Sweet peas. Thank you for a visually beautiful post and the opportunity to win the jars. Marie M
I am a follower by email. Marie M
I would love to have these jars to use for my daughters wedding reception table centerpieces. Her color is purple.
I’m following you on Facebook.
I’ve shared your post on Facebook!!
I’m a new follower via email. I’m enjoying your posts & love today’s with the purple Ball jars. I would use them for candle light in the backyard. With wire around the bottle neck hanging the candlelight would be lovely. I would also use them for my homemade raspberry jam from our raspberry bushes. Where can I find them???
I love your blog and photographs. Your doggies are adorable as well. I use ball jars for tons of things. Have
never seen them in purple tho.
Love your purple transferware!! I am a devoted canner and these colored jars make for such a pretty pantry. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway! And thanks for all the hand pie recipes–just made some with apple :)
I have a beautiful set of dishes – service for eight of Pastoral Davenport-Amethyst by Arthur J Wilkinson – Transferware. These were purchased three years ago at the Brimfield Antique Show in Massachusetts. The dishes were displayed in a wooden hutch in a very dark shop but I was blessed enough to have found them. They have a farming pattern. The dinner dishes are different from the soup bowls, dessert bowls have their own pattern, etc. I believe they date back to 1840. Truly a find! I just found amethyst candlesticks to go with the set in the Verona Virginia Antique Mall and I have Amethyst goblets from William Sonoma which I have had for a while. Your lovely jars would go at each place setting – with some raffia around them, supporting a miniature rake to compliment the pattern – and inside each jar I would place the lavender napkins and silver eating utensils. PLEASE – PICK ME! PICK ME!
Vanessa – Fort MILL, SC
I can see those 6 jars filled with white daisies in a row down the center of my Easter table!
PICK ME! PICK ME! PICK ME! Can you see me stretching my neck, arm & hand held as high as I can (hand wiggling for attention)? Purple was my Mother’s favorite color. Anything that reminds me of my Mother in any way is dear to me. These limited edition purple Mason jars could have multiple uses (as I read the posts above, got even more ideas) and every time they caught my eye, my Mother would most certainly come to mind & heart. Thank you for your blog with its great ideas & inspiration; I read it daily. Happy Monday!
The potting shed is such an inspiration! I will use the purple ball jars in my bathroom for storage, in my kitchen for flowers, and in my sewing room for buttons….And will bring a couple to my daughter, since purple is my grandson’s favorite color.
We have a small lavender farm and I have already been dreaming of these beautiful jars! I would use them to store our dried lavender bud now and as lovely vases this summer to hold bouquets of fresh cut lavender! Perfect for dried bouquets too…I love your posts and they always start my day with a warm smile, no matter the stormy weather. I follow you via email and am happy to share this post on Facebook. Thank you so much for offering such a delightful gift!!
Purple is my favorite color and I had no idea they made these!! I’m not a fan of blue at all and I know they came back out with those. I would use them for lots of things. It would make using my food savor canning jar storage so much fun!!
These purple jars are just delightful! I would definitely use them to display flowers from my garden. I can picture them with my sweet David Austen roses burgeoning from the top!
love the purple….
Wow! didn’t know about these babies. Purple is definitely my color. Would love to own these.
I follow by email and would love to fill these little purple jewels with my lilacs when in season. I would cherish them forever and I sure appreciate your thoughtfulness.
These are gorgeous! I would use them for flowers, picnics and decor.
I do subscribe via email ;-) Thanks for this great giveaway!
Hi – I just love the purple Ball jars as purple is my favorite color :) I would use them in various ways, of course for flowers as you did. I could also see them in my spring decor along with the blue and green Ball jars filled with small eggs or jelly beans. I have been an email follower of yours for quite a while now, and love your blog :) Happy to share the giveaway on Facebook with my friends as well :) Today’s blog is especially inspiring towards spring as it is pouring snow outside – thanks — I can almost smell the green grass and flowers Hugs, Dorinda
Mary, the purple jars are perfect for spring, and their early arrival in the potting shed offers the hope of spring. ‘-)
I wish for a real visit some day. Your potting shed is full of interest. My eyes study every detail. Crushing on that vintage silver pitcher among other delights. You amaze me with your creative styling……the sprouting bulbs, vintage pieces, and fresh flowers. This post is most certainly a breath of spring!
I would use those darling jars to hold flowers…..Texas wildflowers or wisteria blooms.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Can Easter be far away? Me? I’d use them for flowers.
They are beautiful. I would use them for flowers and to decorate at Easter time. The color just shouts Easter. But I also think I would share them with my older sister. Purple has been her favorite color as long as I can remember and she would be so excited to use them in her beautiful lavender bedroom. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to try for some. Have a wonderful day. I am new to your blog and I am enjoying it so much.
Love the beautiful new color!
Love the purple jars!💜💜 i would can with them and als give as a gift a bulb start for a hostess gift.
I’ve been scouring Etsy for a green scale as charming as yours for months now. As soon as I find it, I’ll use it to display my beautiful purple Ball jars just like you’ve done! (I’m one of your faithful subscribers.)
I am a subscriber, and follow you on Pinterest. I would LOVE those purple ball jars. I believe I would share the wealth with my niece and best friend who are PURPLE freaks. They love purple, but I would keep one for myself to have for fresh flowers. =)
Thank you for this most generous giveaway. I am a follower, and by email and I would use the pretty purple jars for flowers, too.
Would use them for pickling cucumbers. Love the purple, such a great color!
My favorite color is PURPLE! And, since my birthday is in February, amethyst is my birth stone. I had no idea that these existed and would love, love, love them!
I would use them for flowers and decorating. I wouldn’t want to use them for canning. They are too pretty.
I follow you via email, Facebook, and Pinterest. Your beautiful table decorations and potting shed are such an inspiration to me. I love trying to copy you. : )
Oh my gosh! I love the PURPLE Mason jars! I think by my username and email (purplecrazymom), you can tell I love the color! :) I would used them for flowers. The light shining through the jar and water would really make the purple stand out even more! I follow both by email and on Facebook. I also shared your post on FB. Thanks for sharing them!
I would fill with jelly beans. also could fill with mini life like bird eggs and insert mini string of lites.
I love the way the light shines through the purple jars! I would use them for flowers or crafts, since I don’t know the first thing about canning!

I love to smell Stock…am going to TJ’s since the rain has stopped. I love all things purple. I have always loved purple since my boyfriend gave me a purple floating opal on my 16th birthday. Do you remember those?
I follow via email…I love the color purple. It just makes me smile.I’m sure I would use them for flowers. Maybe a morning smoothie to start my day with something pretty. I have lids that make a ball jar into a dringking glass with straw so the would be used for sure. My freezer strawbery jam would have a home in these also.
I would use them for flowers and tablescapes!
Sooo pretty. What wouldn’t I use them for…smile… Flowers♥ Drinking♥ Packing goodies for flea market lunches♥ Warm Blessings!~ Amy
PS I follow you!
I already follow you on FB :-)
Simple things in life is best! These would be wonderful for flowers and sweet tea!
The purple jars are lovely and I would use them for an Easter arrangement of mixed cut flowers definitely including some yellow daffodils!
.Mary,I would use these beautiful Ball jars for decorating with lilacs or tulips, or for making Blueberry Cheesecake for two or any layered dessert. I subscribe to your blog and follow you on Pinterest.
Purple Bell jars remind me of amethyst colored glass, which my cousin MaryJane collects. She is 80 this year, and has more energy and vitality than most 40yr olds, and looks no older than 50 or 55. She would enjoy these so I would gift them to her.
I didn’t know their were more colors. I would absolutely love purple jars. I would use them for decorating.
I think these jars would be so pretty on a spring table along with the blue and green ones! Thanks for the chance to win some!
I’m loving the new purple jars…..my favorite color!! I would use them for flowers – they are too pretty to use for canning! They would also make pretty gifts….. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Blessings,
Lanita

I subscribed to receive your blog via email…..however, for some reason I’m not able to confirm from the email. I still want to receive it.
Thanks,
Lanita
Oh how would I use them…exactly how you did..placing those gorgeous flowers in them and also for great storage…unfortunately I do not do any canning!….I am so thrilled to see the garden shed today on this gloomy, rainy afternoon!….It so lifts my spirits!…
I am a very happy follower….you always make my day!

Purple is the color of passion!…and the Baltimore Ravens! I love this post, follow you on Pinterist & will “like you” on Facebook.
P.S.
My birthday is in February…what a great present these would make. Thank you for offering (even if I don’t win!).
Those canning jars would be the perfect vessel for my lilacs, daffodils and large bunch of tulips! Such a pretty shade of amethyst.
I would use them for flowers also.
Mary,
Love your postings and I subscribe to your blog by e-mail. Your potting shed decorations are just beautiful with flowers in the purple Ball jars. It is so nice to look at your postings with your beautiful decorations that you make–it certainly brightens my day.

I would love these jars to use when sending soup over to my son and daughters home.They could use them and then send Mom and Pop a nice surprise.
Although blue and green are my favorites, this purple shade is very pretty. I didn’t know they were already in stores. I would use them for flowers…but, I should learn to can!
P.S. Can’t you use your powers of persuasion to get a Trader Joes in the LKN area?😉
Hi Tardevil, If only I had powers of persuasion :) My SIL and I were talking yesterday about how Trader Joe’s needs to open up in LKN. There’s talk they’re looking at a Cornelius location and I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
My new daughter in law, Elizabeth, enjoys decorating with Ball jars, and wants to decorate her guest bedroom in their new little nest with purple and other spring colors. The purple Ball jars would be a lovely complement to their new room.
Oh my goodness…your pictures are beautiful…and the Ball purpose jars are lovely. I would love to use them to help decorate our new home which is freshly painted. The jars would look delightful in our two rooms painted “Sea Salt” green and I would fill them with flowers. Thanks for sharing. Now I want to make a run for Trader Joes and get some stock. Going over to Facebook to share with folks there too.
So pretty! I just love them coupled with that beautiful plate! I have a slight dish obsession. I could see these pretty jars filled with white tulips in my green and white bedroom, but heck, match or not, I would pepper them around my red kitchen too!!
I would of course like you place flowers in mine. They are so pretty
Beautiful images. Always enjoy seeing the potting shed. Love the purple jars and gorgeous purple plates. I would love to use them as vases for for summer flowers.

Hi Mary… Oh isn’t that purple so pretty and saying Spring! Yes! I would do like I do now. I can my veggies from the garden, I use them as vases, beverages, and right now I have the pretty blue for my soap dispenser in the bathroom. And yes I’m a follower.. I’m hooked on your blog. Lol!
Now I wish I would have bought at least one set each of the green and blue! I am now following by email, pinterest, and sharing by Facebook.
Cheers,

Thank you, Mary, for the opportunity to win. How exciting! I follow you by e mail and enjoy you on Pinterest. I would use these jars for flowers as you did.
Love those purple Ball Jars…..I would put flowers in them and sit on my window sills in kitchen to catch sunlight.
You are the best decorator, you can make anything gorgeous. I love getting your emails.
Nancy Brantley
I love these jars! I have a small collection of purple glass and these would make a beautiful complement. I can see white daisies, yellow daffodils in them. Or canned pears and pears. You post the best things!
Barbara W.
Love your jars. I’ve a few original turquoise jars.
If I had 6 lavender jars, I would use them with wire bales to hold candle lights sitting in an inch of sand and small shells and hang them from the brackets on my porch. Streaming ribbons will blow in the evening breezes and doubly secure the wires at the brackets.
These purple ones are too beautiful to “hide away”. I would def put them in my bay window with my vintage optical glass bottles!
I already follow your blog
I use them for my hydrangeas, for pasta’s, for cotton balls in my bathroom
I shared this on facebook

I would use them for canning, decorating, gift giving, and any thing else that came to mind. I like your facebook also.
Love your potting shed! love the purple canning jars. i would can in them. My granddaughters asked the other day if we could paint some clear ones purple. they keep their markers and pencils in them. and I am so wanting spring. I think some delphiniums would be gorgeous in them also.
Hey Mary;
What a Wonderful Giveaway!!! I am a Faithful Follower :-)
I Love all of the Beautiful Photo’s and ideas which you show. If I won these Lovelies, I would use them as you have for Flowers.
Of course, I would have to give my Mama half of them as I know how much she would enjoy them also!!!
Take Care and Happy Valentines Day!!! :-)
I would love to win a set as I’m going to do my kitchen in shades of purple and green. I have antique green jars but no purple. Following your site snd pintrest and shared.
Hi Mary
I live in Victoria Australia and today was about 105’F as we are still in summer. We are in a friut growing region of the Goulburn Valley with andhave a famous preserving company in town called Shepparton Preserving Company or SPC.
I know I am not eligible for the prize but however we would preserve some local peaches for when our winter arrives and a peach crumble would warm us up.
I came across your site just the other day and love your dog’s.
Wanted to send you some Aussie sunshine to warm up your day.
All the best spring won’t be long now.
Virginia
P. S my website is still under construction
I’m sharing on facebook–I’d love some of these purple jars!!
What a pretty color, Purple!!! I would, of course, display those beautiful herbs and flowers from the home garden. What a perfect color for Spring and Summer. I have a spice rack, large cabinet with my dried herbs. I use the old blue, green jars for storing those herbs. A purple one or two would be great in that cabinet. :) And flowers (yellow daffodils) in the bay window at Easter, can just see them sparkling in the sun light!!! Hope I win!!!
Oh my. Just as you have…….filled with beautiful tender flowers. And then for food storage when not using decoratively. I love following your post by email and Pinterest.
Drinks on the deck this spring when it is warm enough again.
OMG Mary, these are gorgeous. I gasped when I opened my email and saw these purple jars. I didn’t think Ball could out-do the Blue Jars, which I have a few of, but now I see they did out-do themselves. I love this color it so pretty, unusual and classey! If I were one of the lucky winners, I would definately display them with flowers. I would also share a couple with my daughter who has been trying to collect all things purple in her kitchen. I follow you on facebook also and I usually read your posts more than once so that I don’t miss any detail in any of your pictures! You are such an inspiration and I look forward to every post. Hugs to you and thank you for such a great give away!

I would use for flowers.

I love your blog. These beautiful purple ball jars would be great for spring. I would use them for everything like flowers, storage and would look great for easter displays. Thanks for the give away.
Good Morning! I just found your blog and will follow you on F.B. and add your blog to my favorites! It is absolutely beautiful! If I win the giveaway, I would use the purple jars in my bedroom for flowers. I love purple. I may even spread them around the house to add in my décor. They would absolutely be added to my Easter décor. Love and thanks for the giveaway.
Those purple Heritage Jars are just too beautiful!.. Adding the flowers accentuated their lovely beauty… I would like to also do the same with the Heritage jars!!
One jar would join the rest of my collection which is proudly displayed on the thorp of my kitchen cupboards. There are vintage bail jars with glass tops, vintage jars of different sizes and colors with zinc lids lined with ceramic, quilted jars and the newer blue and green heritage jars. Everything from teeny jars right up to gallon size. A lot of these were given to me by an aunt who canned her farm veggies and fruits back in the 40s then passed them on to me to can my garden with them in the 70s & 80s.
I would use them for canning fruit and tomatoes
I would use for a bridal shower for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law! Her wedding colors are eggplant – I love Ball jars, but these would look especially pretty at either her shower or used at the rehearsal dinner! I adore your potting shed & am working to create one of my own! xoxo! Cindy
I have been a subscriber to your blog for quiet some time and a friend on Face Book as well! xoxo! Cindy
Love,Love,Love the purple. I would use them for storage and to display flowers.
After a very long winter, these jars make me anxious for spring to arrive!! Love the color and will love them even more used as vessels for my Easter floral arrangements!
As always, thank you for inspiring!!
Incredible color! Would love to display my tulips in these!
OOPS! Forgot..I follow you on facebook, e-mail and Pinterest!
I would love to force some forsythia branches in these! And I would share with my daughter who loves Ball jars and my daughter-in-law who loves purple. Thinking Spring here in very snowy western NY. :)
These are beautiful jars and I love how you have them displayed!
Love those beautiful jars…love the old ones and have filled many with fruits and veggies but after 80, don’t need to do that any more so would use those purple ones for flowers. I always enjoy your every blog by e-mail.
Mary , beautiful springy post, Thank YOU !!

The Ball jars are utterly charming, but that purple floral plate is to die for! So beautiful!
I like using them for all kinds of things, especially decoration, and storing things. Thank you for the great giveaway!
I would use them to put flowers in. They are gorgeous!
I subscribe to you by email and follow you on Facebook!
I love mason jars. Didn’t know about the Heritage collection until now; I must live under a rock! I would do the flowers; yours are perfect as I love stock-so old fashioned & fragrant. I might have to stop at TJ’s on my way home from work tomorrow to see if they have any at my location. Thanks for sharing; I love your pooches and your blog !!!
First I love what you do. I find that I can revisit your site and see something that I missed the first, second, or third look. I would love these jars. First, one would become a “tea” jar, as I need hot tea all the time in this icy, snowy weather.
Imagine having that bit of cheerfulness along on my school bus as we make our way thru snow covered roads. Would share with my daughter who is a Ball jar maniac…..ending up with fairy lights, or bath salts, or flowers. 30 years ago mother gave me a bunch of transfer ware plates…mostly blue and white….but, one plum one as tucked in the group and I have rarely used it, Now I see your idea of displaying with the purple ball jar perhaps with white lilacs.. Would so love to win……just like everyone else! :)
goodness, forgot to say,…I subscribe by email…….and thinking, still of these lovely jars……imagine one with filled with vanilla flavored sugar…..
i would fill them with flowers for i mid winter boost…i would line them up and look at them…i would put them with my little white stoneware pitchers…i would drink out of them in the summer while sitting by the pond…i would fill them with cookies at christmas…fill them with easter eggs…fill them with white buttons in my quilting room…where would one stop as they are soooooo beautiful
I would use them to give away my special homebrew libation. They would make beautiful gifts. Of course one would stay in my tight little paws for beauties like you pictured. Many of my garden flowers would look great against this color.
I love the color of these jars. I also liked the green. I would use them for flower arrangements. Simply lovely.
I subscribed by e-mail. O, I would use the jars for canning, storage, as vases, and anywhere I could put them in the kitchen. I love your Clarice Cliff Plum dishes. The jars go perfectly with that beautiful plum color.
I would use them for storage and for decoration and probably also as drinking glasses!
OMGosh I didn’t even know the purple jars were out. I did buy the case of the little repo blue jars even thought I have lots of vintage and antique ones.
The purple is do pretty I think i’ll go right out to my favorite store after work to see if they have the purple ones
Thanks for the chance to win yours
I love ball jars and the purple is stunning! I would use them in my pantry to store items as well to hold flowers. Thank you for a wonderful give away. I adore your potting shed!

I love purple, these are so pretty. What a great way to welcome spring. Great giveaway, thanks!
I just love purple – and these are lovely. I would use them to display flowers! You inspire me, Mary, and I look forward to your tablescapes. Keep up the great work!
For goodness sake – forgot to say – I subscribe by email, too! Love your posts – look forward to them.
Love these purple mason jars!! I would love to win a set for my wedding on October 9!. My wedding colors will be white, black and purple and these be perfect for our cocktail tables, along with some white trader joe’s flowers!
I am also following on facebook!
Your post was an inspiration, so I will be using them for flowers too and/or for “mason gifts” in a jar .

Love these I have the aqua collection and have use them just as you did to hold flowers. I’m in email subscriber too.
I have the aqual collection and would love to have the purple collection, also. I’d use them as vases for sure. Love your blog. I “liked” you on FB.
I would use these beautiful jars to put bouquets of flowers in all over the house for spring.
I love everything you do! You potting shed arrangements in the purple jars are so lovely.I’d use
them as vases and drinking glasses to go with my violet covered dinnerware. I hope the winner
is me!
I have a farm table where I do have real vintage jars that share space with the new ones I have been collecting, the blue and green. I really need purple because I am a graduate of K-State.
Thank you so much for the wonderful give away. As a gardener (flowers, veggies and fruit trees) I use canning jars for both flower arrangements and canning. I have several vintage jars, including a purple one with a zinc lid. I love purple and they would be beautiful to display my many pink roses.
I love your blog. You are truly a gifted woman.

I liked on Facebook and now following there, too! My best friend, Tracy (met in kindergarten…looooong time ago) loves purple…in fact, I always give her something unique that’s purple for her birthday each year. So, in honor of her color love…I would give “most” of these to her!
Oh how absolutely beautiful!!!! Purple jars – oh my how I love them and how you have decorated with them. Purple/lavender has been my favorite since I was a child. Still is now that I am nearing 70! Would love to win one of these jars. I have a lavender room that has spot for this jar!
I love the purple color of these jars! I would probably use them for vases and to store crafting supplies….
This is a beautiful post. Lavender and purple are my favorite colors. I must say all your photos are beautiful. What a lovely home you have. Your decorating is superb. Thanks, Valerie (candlelightsupper2.blogspot.com)

I have loved the previous colored mason jars, but this purple color is amazing! I would use it to display fresh flowers among a beautiful tea set my friend gave me for my birthday, that just happens to have various purple flowers for the china pattern. Thank you for sharing the fun photos and hosting the giveaway.
I love purple! I would use these jars for flowers, storage, or just decoration. I am following on Facebook and joined by email. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I love the purple mason jar. I would put spring flowers in it for Easter. I also love to put a string of lights in it to glow at night on the counter.
These purple jars are AWESOME!! I collect the vintage aqua ones and love that Ball has given us a true purple! I would definitely use these for flowers AND display!!
I love the purple jars, they would be perfect for summer flowers. I have the green ones and I collect vintage jars, usually aqua. I adore your blog and your shed. I have a bit of a potting shed myself and can’t wait until spring because you have inspired me so much. I follow you on Pinterest and facebook and subscribe also. I am so happy when I see a new post.
Love ,love,love the Purple. These would look great for storing office supplies, spools of thread and craft whatnots. But of coarse I’d put flowers in one.I’m transforming an bedroom into a craft room/home office. White and lavender!
