Collections
The little things I have collected, that have no real value on their own, due to a chip, or a crack or a tear...Instead of throwing the defaulted bits and pieces away, or disregarding them to a chest of drawers never to be seen again- I have collected these fragments of yesterday and display them in apothecary jars. Creating them into, "scrapbooks or "scrapjars," you might say.

Happily stumbled across your blog through Alison at Brocante Home ... and just had to write and tell you how much I love your 'scrap jars'. What a clever thing you are. I have lots and lots of pretty little bits all over the place ... and your jars have provided me with inspiration.
Merci beaucoup!

Just found you thru Brocante Home's link to your lovely, lovely "scrap jars". Such a nice idea and so pretty to look at. Thank you for sharing this!

Very pretty. Reminds me of a scene from "Possession", where they had decorated glass jars with threads and notions on a sideboard.
An interesting weblog you have, and you like antiques, too.
