Crushing On: Blue Mason Jars
I have been collecting blue mason jars for years now, and I truly delight in every bit of their cheery shade of pale teal blue. We even included them in our vintage inspired wedding to hold flowers–white hydrangeas and ranunculus flowers were our choices.
Today, my collection is woven throughout our decor, both at home and the office, and this week, I’m featuring some gorgeous ideas for how you can style these vintage treasures in your own home decor.
As I already mentioned, we used my collection as vases for our wedding flowers, and they really make a beautiful statement when holding some gorgeous blooms.

One of my other favorite things about mason jars is their versatility to show up in a variety of design ideas. If you’re looking for a pop of color, you can add just one or a few to an otherwise neutral color palette. I especially love seeing a few on a fireplace mantel or shelf.

I love your article about ball mason jars I've a large collection including a large amount of lids of all kinds – only once I've purchased a jar- I bottle dig and my main spot is a dump that closed in the 70s I come home stinking, filthy,sticks in my hair, sometimes bleeding I've been attacked by bees,masquitos,surrounded by coyotes and seen things in the ground that looked mutated over years of inbreeding but I've got the prettiest ball mason jar collection in town lol
Oh my goodness…best story ever! I'm the same way, though…golly, the lengths I'll go to for a fantastic find! xo
Really like your website. I too, have a nice collection of blue ball jars. I found an old dump back in the woods beside a swamp. It has yielded many milk jars, glass Clorox jars, medicine bottles, etc… I was stepping over an old barrel on a bluebird day and moved it with my boot. There below the barrel was a copperhead coiled up. Thankfully I wasn’t hurt leaving the site.lol…..
Thanks so much, Clint! And, wow! That would be a scary discovery…but lucky you to find all those great treasures, too!
