My small kitchen cabinets have non-adjustable shelfs requiring many items to be put in smaller containers. These jars would be perfet to replace boxes, etc that don’t fit the shelfs.
Thank you for your post. I so love the Red White and Blue and meaning it holds. I would use mine for a get together with family and friends for a special eatable gift for them to take home on Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. Thank you
I would use them to sort crafts, buttons, and more in addition to storing foods like grains and legumes as I am also an avid cook.
Balls jars provide wonderful storage in my kitchen, pantry, sewing room and I like to use them as vases. I use them everywhere! And thanks for the tip on storing strawberries in Ball jars and the link for the frogs.
Hi Mary,
I love Ball jars and find them so versatile. I would use them for fairy light jars, canning carrots, storing buttons, etc. These are beautiful and so is your tables and blog.
These are perfect for a table centerpiece to hold flowers, straws, candy, sparklers, to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
I am a delighted subscriber!
I pinned Sugar scrub!!!
The canning jars would be great for root beer floats, jelly, jams and flowers look so sweet in them. Possibilities are endless.
Getting ready for the patriotic celebration especially for this year. So happy to see these and all of your great ideas. Love the wooden tops and the flower frogs! Would love to add these to my red,, white and blue. Thanks for the opportunity
I am retired and have been wanting to learn how to preserve by canning and these beautiful jars would be a great way to start!
I’ve followed your blog for years now. Every post is so beautifully photographed and inspiring. I could never have as many pieces to duplicate your beautiful tablescapes, but I love looking at them. The jars would be used for yogurt parfaits and for lemonade for the July 4th. But flower arrangements are another choice. I pinned the flower arrangement with the blue hydrangeas taken from above. I wanted to be able to see all the flowers so I can add them to my garden. I so enjoy seeing your post in my email. I know it’s time to just relax and enjoy some beauty. Thank you!
I have bought Ball Jars specifically for canning purposes but like your article I have found many more uses for them. The new jars would be great for July 4th cocktails and flowers.
These are very sweet jars. I’d use them as vases for the 4th of July, then can some nice jellies in them after that. I’m a long-time subscriber, too.
I pinned the last photo of the jars giveaway. Thank you!
I would use them for my summer jellies. they are so pretty
I’ve been using Ball jars for years. Last week I filled them with bouquets to give away for May Day. Love your ideas and photos.
I use Ball jars for storing food all the time and also for crafts! Your posts are always so beautiful! Gives me hope that someday I will be near a body of water and in a warmer climate!
I pinned the strawberry frose, the basil pesto and the hot pepper jelly although I could’ve easily pinned them all!
I love how they come out with these decorative designs. This star design could be used for different celebrations such as a birthday, Halloween or new years in addition to being patriotic.
Oh Mary…I too have a love for mason jars and according to Hubby have way too many but really, who can have too many jars! I would use them as cups for summer drinks, as vases and in my canning adventures. As usual I fell down the rabbit hole and opened each of your recipe pages so an hour later I finished another delightful blog! Thank you for sharing your creativity! Have a great day. Peace.
I love the star design on the jars will look beautiful on my serving table for the upcoming 250th celebration.
They also look nice as a utensil server, and also for festive centerpieces for flowers and tea lights.
Mary, I am a canner. I have Ball jars in all sizes for all the different things that I can. These are beautiful, and definitely would be used for canning my chili sauce or salsa. Thank you for the beautiful blog !
I did also Pin a few of the ideas. Some such as the pepper jelly I already had pinned and made( great by the way) and candles but others I don’t and want to try. Thank you.
I also pinned the strawberry parfait in the jar :)
I pinned the pesto recipe (and several others). The mason jar dessert has become a family favorite which I make often!
Summertime sun brewed ice tea
Your clay frog idea is very clever
I pinned the homemade basil pesto. I love pesto, can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
I love to put flowers in them. I love this new jar. Definitely am buying
I love jars for storage.
Hi Mary, I love your ball jar ideas. I use them to decorate my kitchen. I change what I put in them each season to coodinate with my seasonal decor. These are so festive for the fourth of July. I would use them as part of a red, white, and blue display on my island. My red bee balm is usually in bloom around the 4th and the flowers look like little firework explosions!!!
I love how Ball has changed with the times and has come up with so many fun ways to use their jars! Definitely great for flowers with the frog, deserts and drinks, and I always make my salad dressing in a Ball jar-which looks great when you transport them to a party.
I love everything patriotic and the jars are great. As a subscriber, I always enjoy your creativity and resourcefulness. I would use the jars for drinks and fun desserts.
You always amaze me with your creativity and the variety of ways you use mason jars. The Americana jars are so cute. I’d love to win them and use them for a centerpiece with fairy lights, flags, and faux flowers. I am a subscriber.
I pinned your photo of a patriotic table.
beautiful jars. I would use during the month of July for flower arrangements. I would also fill one with Red, white and blue M&M’s.
What a great giveaway, Mary! I would use these jars for cut flowers. I just love these style of vases.
I am a longtime follower and subscriber.
Aren’t these new Ball canning jars so pretty?!!
I use jars for canning, vases, desserts, dressings, and storage. Thank you for the opportunity of the giveaway, Mary, and for showing all the accessories and other fun products. Hope you have a wonderful week! ❤️
I have been reading your blogs for allot of years and to me it is the best ever! Even the blog hops I always come back to yours. I love those jars and your artistic way of using them. I started my 4th decorating a week ago. I would use them in different ways like filling with patriotic candy for grands, adding paper patriotic straws for drinks. I pinned, follow your facebook too.
Mary, what a lovey post. The patriotic displays are so inspiring for this special year of celebration for America. I love the Ball jar products, they are perfect for all canning and to have this special design is cool!
Love the clay frog idea, and the parfait. I’m going to be inspired to do that too.
Thanks for the suggestion and beautiful tables.
My favorite use for jars is for flowers; these new jars would be fun for drinks, too! All your ideas are great for their use. Thanks for the giveaway!
You are the only blog I have ever followed and I’ve been here for YEARS. You share the most lovely things and inspire me.
I love Ball jars. So do my daughters. We all use them for so many things around the house. LOL one daughter even cans her garden in them! Radical! I just love this design for our 250th birthday. A bunch of garden flowers in them for the fourth would be splendid!
Thank you for all you do to keep giving us great ideas!
Oh so goregous! I can my garden in Ball jars and these are the best yet! Though the bees were great too.
Thank you for the chance to have some of these beauties!
These are great! I love the stars! I use them for windowsill plants and so much more. I home school three littles and they come in handy for so many projects…and storage.
Would love to have some of these! Have a great day and thank you!
I love all types of Ball jars, old, new colored and designed. I do a lot of canning, use jars for storage, picnic drinking glasses, vases and with candles in them. I can imagine a blue, white and red candle in three jars for a centerpiece for the Independence Day celebration. Just beautiful jars!
I absolutely love Ball canning jars. I would add these to what I use every year to celebrate the Fourth. This is a very special Fourth and I would love to have something to use commemorating it!
I would use these jars for dry good storage and organization in my pantry.
