I found it in an "Antique Barn", you know the kind of place....where you dig and dig through someone's junk basically. It started out red, white and blue...and looks like termites got a hold of it. But, I loved it!
I, too, have painted it many colors and have displayed it different ways.
But, when I saw this picture....I knew what it was to become next!
Pottery Barn
I've got a few glass jars, but not a collection like pictured (yet). I was at an indoor flea market a few weeks ago and saw some just like the ones in the picture. I passed on them because I thought $20 was a bit much for 5 jars. But, when I looked in the PB Catalog they wanted $38 (just for the jars)! I know, I should've gotten them. I'll go back and ck...but for now...this is my PB inspired piece!
I'm patiently waiting for my flowers to spring.....and the sun to shine!
