Needless to say, It was love at first sight. I found so many inspiring objects and ideas I could hardly contain myself. I got to a point more than once where my arms were so full of items I had to do a front counter drop-off and go back for more. I was practically skipping through the aisles by the end of the first building knowing there was an entire second building yet to go!
All of a sudden everything old was new again and seemed a perfect fit for my circa 1911 house. Most surprising of all, the price tags were incredibly reasonable. I got items with vintage character for much less than I could have bought them new. With a little doctoring up, vintage is so vogue!! My finds were all items for the butler's pantry which is currently a much-neglected spot in our home. And they are...
An old-school lamp style pendant light (that needs some TLC) for only $20!
A collection of large canning jars, small canning jars and a token milk jug. All of which will be used to organize the pantry shelves. (More on that when I actually do the re-org.) And, of course, a few token jars to put pretty flowers in this summer.
I like to think that some of these jars may have graced the shelves of my home 80 years ago and are now finding their way back home. *smiling sigh*

I heart jars! I think it's cool that these have their lids! Do the lids have liners, too? I never heard of that antique mall, but may have to go looking sometime! There's a shop in SE that has lots of stained glass, that I am always meaning to stop by, too
ReplyDeleteIf you heart jars then you would love strolling through Stars, they have so many different kinds scattered throughout. The lids have a built-in thick white glass sealer on them which (I think) serves the purpose of a liner. They just don't make 'em like they used to.
