I Live in S.C. and alot of people use shells. I know this is a bit strange but children like to see those little grow spongey things in jars. There are alot of different things...Open your mind and think really hard....Different is better. Something really strange...but I have seen done...is put holes in the lid and add a couple of small fish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-12787440159289251522012-04-08T11:39:11.963-05:002012-04-08T11:39:11.963-05:00Wonderful ideas.

I love Mason jars. I have shells, leaves, buttons, spools, marbles, a memorable single dried flower, tiny quilted pillow pincusions, sewing notions, cotton balls, etc...They are spread out and part of many vignettes, so not as compulsive as it sounds. But I think with your wildflowers, some dried colorful sprigs would be sweet.danajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478950960975545999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-19282413242536701302012-04-06T00:24:32.143-05:002012-04-06T00:24:32.143-05:00Thank you for that!
