Vintage Kitchen Jars


Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday
♥
Many of you have asked me about the
{vintage glass jars}
that are in my
kitchen cabinet

These jars are my favorite
for storing
granulated sugar, powdered sugar,
flour
sugar cubes and even
white chocolate chips



{love}
the vintage decals they
add a little color and charm

I only put
white ingredients
in the jars
♥

The jar on the right with the
robins egg blue
lid
is one of my favorites
I bought 3 of them at the
Long Beach swap meet
years ago
they are old mayonnaise jars
I added the little
pink rose decal


The jars are all different sizes and shapes
and we use them everyday I
{love}
that they are
pretty and useful too
♥

    Awesome jars and cabinets. I think the Long Beach flea market is this weekend...but we are going to Mammoth. Hopefully, I'll go next month.
    Following you. :)

    I love your jars too. I have that decal on the top jar and have never used it. I just found a pretty jar at the thrift store and now I know what to do with it.
    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Hi,
    I live in Long Beach...saw you got your vintage jars there. They are sweet and I like your idea of only white ingredients. My grandmother used them for flour, white sugar and brown sugar so I do too. monah

    Hi Pam,
    You actually brought back a memory for me when I used to use decals on every container in my house.. The glass jars are beautiful and I like the fact that you only put white in them. So clean and crisp and creative!

    I couldn't agree more! I love vintage jars and buy them any chance I get! I keep a bunch stacked on my kitchen counter, full of bright, cheerful candy. Happy PS!

    I love using jars to store just about anything. It's so nice to open the door to the pantry and see lovely jars instead of boxes. Your are so over the top pretty that I will have to keep my eyes open for some. I am still making my rounds, Happy Pink Saturday, Char

    Happy Pink Saturday, Pam.

    Your jars looks so pretty, and thank you for the idea. I have my sugar cubes in a clear vintage jar, and I am going to put it in the cabinet with my mugs. The cabinet has a glass door, and it would look pretty in there - and be more convenient than in the pantry.
