Sentimental Heart


I have a very sentimental heart. I have saved all those things that have brought me joy over the years. The only issue with this, is I have so much, it becomes clutter at times. This particular project is one that I have worked for about a year now, and I have only just begun. Any glass jars I buy or gifts that come in a glass jar, I save. When browsing the thrift stores or garage sales, I pick up candlesticks, stemmed glassware or sundae cups. With the jars I have saved and the candlestick I have bought, I make apothecary jars.

Have you noticed that a lot of the kitchen cabinets do not go all the way up to the ceiling as they they did in the past. I love the fact that they do not. Now I have a place to place my apothecary jars and enjoy those memories each and everyday, and that puts a smile on my face.

I, of course, have a long way to go with this process. As I decide what to put in each jar and which candle stick goes best with all the jars I have saved. The really nice thing is, these are sealed, so I do not have to worry about dust and dirt to wipe away, to what I consider precious items.
