This year was the year that I first discovered the versatility of The Jar. It was the year I first went to Meat Liquor and loved the novelty of drinking from a jam jar.

Because with jars this big, I could probably store a small dog (not that I would). Pinterest to the rescue.

There are also some wonderful ideas on the Laura Ashley blog which I have also pinned:
Any other ideas of what I could pop in my jars?
