I think this is so warm, and when people pass the house and look, they will think, what a lovely, warm house. Just realized, it looks like your out aways from the road. But when you take a walk, and look at your home, it will make you feel warm inside.

Fantastic, I love it!!

instead of mason jars, (i use mine for canning) you can get the same effect from using mayo and tomato sauce jars, saving them from the landfill and still having this sweet look for your window.

I love this! @Susan C , I guess I dont know anything about mason jars, what rings?

I love how the sun shines through glass, great idea.

cute cute cute! I love how you've staggered them in height....the possibilities are endless with this idea :)

Bernice, I believe she means the lids.

I like the look without the lids....I think I'd wrap the wire twice to make a good fit and skip the lid. I could just have these made by the weekend. My kitchen windows are the legnth of the kitchen and now I'm super excited to get this started.

What an awsome idea for either indoors or on a covered deck for a nice fall glow while sitting either inside or out. We are having a September birthday party in a week and think I will use this idea to light my front deck area and set a warm mood on what just may be a cool mid-west evening.

With snow in backround, use red candles and it's Christmas!

@Bernice & Marg - ah hem . . . .canning jars have a lid and a metal screw on ring which holds the lid on securely during the actual canning process. Usually the ring is removed after the lids have sealed and you can keep using them over & over.

@Louisa H. - I like your idea too. I have some pretty jars that I've kept for "something". I think this idea may just be it!!

Here's what my sister in law did in her window. A bit different and very unique.

CND - now that's really cute too!! Just shows that a little imagination, a few bottles & some wire or whatever, and woo-lah, a unique window accessory!! I want to know about the chickens on the board above - are those appliques or what??

That would be "voila". The French equivalent of 'ta-da". :)

Really warm, sweet country chic idea Brenda.

@Susan...Yes I think those roosters are appliques on the valance board. I have no idea where she got them. :-( And Elizabeth, funny you should correct the "woo-lah" Susan said. Cuz my sister is law means voila too but spells it "waa lah". Haha! Of course the fonts on most blogs don't allow us to use the appropriate accent marks either one would use in the correct French way.

So sweet! I love it!

@Susan......my bad! I feel so inadequate...so ..so...what can i say? I should know what "rings" are, shouldnt I? I have been on this earth long enough...good gravy what has happened to my educamation? Ok I feel enlightened now! whew! :) At least I wasnt the only one, right? Love u.

Brenda and Connie, I love this, Connie I am a glass freak..of all sorts. I would try this except my little kitchen window looks out on the carport and no sun coming through. I would love to put ...»

I love this idea. I think I will use it in a window at Christmas and put a pine floral wreath around the base of each one. Perhaps with a few holly berries?

@Bernice - those short naps are great aren't they? LOL It's ok Sweetie we ALL slip up now & then. I think I've been caught a couple of times!!

And to everyone else - YES, Bernice is a "glass freak" - I can attest to that!! ;~)

that's what I meant SuzieQ.... the jars have a fllat thing that sits on top and then you screw on the ring right? Now I know that 'flat thing' is actually called the lid LOL...I call the whole 2 pc setup the lids....sorry, city girl at heart here. So people actually remove the rings? I've never seen that :S thanks for teaching me something today :)

ok, so I will correct my post...."I wouldn't keep the lids and rings on, just use the glass ...»

Marg - did you ever find the wired twine??? Also, one more reason for removing the "rings" once the lids have sealed is you can use the same rings on the next batch if you're canning but also occasionally the rings can get a little rusty and then they're hard to remove when you want to open the jar.

no Susan, I got so caught up in ACMoore and Michaels that I didn't have the energy to go over to Jo-Anns :S probaby a good thing though because since then I've decided that I wouldn't use the quart size. I've also thought of a couple more good things to do with the jars since then so I suppose it's not always a good thing to jump right on something. I definitely keep you posted :)

Oh I know how that works!! I get in stores and get soooo distracted by just looking at stuff. BTW - sweet pea - still waitin on those clean pooch pics. Heck, the worst is over so what's holdin you up now???

Susan, head over to RR I'll be posting them now :)

would look good on a sun porch
