Mason jars are not just for canning on the farm. These cheap, classic glass jars are available new, and flea markets, antiques stores as well as crap stores (my favorite source) are full of them. A fast Internet search yielded a couple fresh Ball mason jars available from $2.29 to $20; classic models start at about $2 to Etsy.
ers are using mason jars in all sorts of ways, from adding them to light fittings to keeping laundry soap in an attractive manner. Look at them with fresh eyes and find out each of their applications, whether you have an interest in preserves or need to add more glass to your tablescape.
