GIVEAWAY CLOSED {thank you!!}
we used to use the mason jars as drinking glasses when we were growing up! lots left over from canning veggies, fruits, and relish. my mom giggled at me recently because I was using one for water even though I had perfectly beautiful glasses in the cupboard! 🙂
I also love the idea of using the mason jars for “thankful thoughts”. each family member writes/reports something about his/her day that they are thankful for. the slips of paper are stored in the jar until thanksgiving when the jar is opened and we can read and remember all the special memories made throughout the year before. 🙂 it is good to be reminded about the treasured times and all the joy that life can bring!
We use mason jars to buy bulk items from our local co-op…I love looking at all of the different items in their jars- beans, nuts, flour, oats. Also love filling them with fresh flowers- looking forward to some daffodils and tulips soon!
I use them to store my vintage buttons!
crafting a jar with christmas greenery and little white lights. adds a country charm to the holiday – or all the year through.
My favorite use for mason jars is to hold my mother’s homemade zucchini relish! the larger the jar the better! It is a most infamous gift at christmas time for family far and near.
We have a “special” jar that my husband puts his change in and our little girl can put them in her piggy bank ONE. AT. A. TIME. She loves it (And so do I) hehe!
When ever I see a Mason jar, I am reminded of my grandmother. She had a love for gardening and spent her days tending a fruit and vegetable garden. Her life revolved around the seasons and gardening. The fruits of her labor were then carefully preserved in a variety of sizes of mason jars. A visit to grandmothers meant a meal with garden canned vegetables and a dessert which included delicious preserved berries. Our farewell embrace was sealed with a mason jar of homemade raspberry jelly, to tide us over until the next trip.
I love to use them for floating candles with water and berries or fun things the show off the season.
I love using them to store small craft supplies!
For storing fresh tomato sauce! When I was little my dad used to jar his own tomato sauce…yum!
MASON JARS are awesome! We live on a lake and my fav thing to use them for is mood lighting! I use wire and wrap around the lip if to be hung and put various items in the jar depending on party theme with a votive candle! Hang or set around the patio & deck! Most used items for me is sand, seashells, and a candle! Perfect for the lake! HOPE YOU LIKE MY IDEA!!! 🙂
I love to put flowers in them!!
I like to use mason jars to hold wildflowers.

I love to put shells in them!
We also use them to make Christmas light potpourri jars. These are quick, cheap, and make great gifts.

We used them in our wedding to hold sand and candles to line the aisle.
I like putting candles in them and using them as luminaries on our patio. So pretty – and the wind doesn’t blow out the candles!
I dried the petals from my wedding bouquet and collected them in a mason jar. I found a candle topper that fit the jar perfectly and glued the penny that was in my shoe to the top. It is adorable and graces my mantle to remind me always of my beautiful day.
I’m a southern girl…mason jars make the perfect container for a nice cold glass of sweet ice tea. My mama uses them when she makes a big pot of soup and ends up having to share with the whole neighborhood!
I’m expecting my Lisa Leonard necklace to arrive today (yay!) and would already love another – the jars in my home are filled with home canning, rocks collected over the years and sea shells. Now all I need is one filled with hearts 😉
I can’t imagine a more perfect vase than a Mason jar… Fresh cut flowers from the garden or pasture just are meant for a jar!
Candy, candles, chocolate, flowers and little notes to my valentine 😉

I love Mason jars! I have a collection on my kitchen windowsill and use them for everything from loose-change-holders to pen-holders. I love the way the morning sun shines through them while I’m having my a.m. coffee. 🙂
Mason jars can be made into really cool pumpkin faces for Halloween. Just use torn pieces of orange tissue paper and mod podge to cover the jar, cut out black pieces of tissue paper to make a cute face (and attach with mod podge). You can use these cuties as luminaries or fill with candy for a sweet gift.
I do also like to drink out of them….that’s why I like to give them away as gifts…so my friends get a set to drink from… A gift that keeps giving..
We use them to store homemade pickles. Every year my mom and I get together with my aunt and cousin and make homemade pickles together. Seeing mason jars remind me of good times like that. 🙂
I love to use Mason jars with funky, painted lids for treats. However, since my son’s name is Mason…he has to be reminded to share!
every Christmas I buy cases of mason jars and fill them with homemade baileys or kahlua, then decorate the jars with ribbon and give them out as Christmas gifts.
Another way is for a simple vase. Some flowers just are in their element when in a mason jar. It makes me think of simpler times. Love your newest stuff!!!
I also like to use them to drink out of. My great-grandfather wouldn’t drink out of any other glass. Bring on the iced tea (sweetened of course)!

Love mason jars for my make-up brushes, to keep them in great shape. I also like to color code crayola crayons in the playroom, each color cast in individual mason jar.

I love fresh cut sunflowers in mason jars or small flowers floating in them.

Anything I have to use all the time and love goes in a mason jar-so for me it’s colored pencils, markers, knitting needles, crochet hooks and paint brushes. I wish they made huge ones for tubes of paint and spools of ribbon:)
My 6 year old son had the idea to use a mason jar as a Kindness jar. Each time he or his siblings does a ‘kindness deed’ we put a marble in the jar. When the jar is full the children earn a special reward or our family celebrates with a treat or outing in a special way. This way we all get to share in it. We can do it over and over! Love this necklace.. it reminds me of special people and memories
I use mine for everyday glasses:)

also use it for our “bored” jar. If the kids say they are bored, they go to the jar and pick a slip of paper. There are all kinds of odd jobs to do “for when they are bored”: sorting tupperware to lids, sorting socks, writing a letter….etc…. It actually doesn’t get used much but everyone knows it is there.
I also use them to organize pens and pencils!
I love to put flowers in mason jars and attach a ribbon to it!
We also love to store our “collections” in them: buttons, seashells, marbles and rocks.
oldie, but goodie…..to play drop the clothespin into!! Always popular at birthday parties.
I love the blue ones!! And I love to put flowers in them or put them in my windowsill to catch the light coming through the color.
And I love to drink postum with half & half in them – learned that from my mom.
Great giveaway! My jars are used for storing my daughters’ craft items, crayons, pencils, etc. or leaves and rocks they collect.
You can store anything small enough to fit inside the mason jars. Cute giveaway!
Canning applesauce!
I like using Mason jars for storing dry goods.

I love to use them for flowers but my favorite is a jar filled with buttons from my grandma. As little kids, we learned how to sew buttons on to flour sack kitchen towels while she worked in the kitchen.

This necklace & Mason jars make me think of summer college breaks spent with my best friend’s family in southern Michigan… drinking lemonade out of mason jars, catching fireflies, and having soul-deep talks with my soul-sister and her family. Man. Memories. The kind you bottle up and save for nights like this, sitting halfway across the world, staring nostalgically past the glow of my laptop screen… missing family, missing home.
I think Mason Jars are a fun way to display peanut M&M’s. A colorful and yummy treat!
I love Mason Jars and use them for several things; I put flameless tea lights in them and spread them around our living room for cozy family movie nights. I keep flowers in them that my son picks from our garden. I keep candy (lolly pops are a big hit around here) of every color and shape in them on our window sills. I also have about 6 different size mason jars filled with vintage toys.
The list goes on… 🙂

Well I’ve never left a comment before but I so love this necklace.
I am not a collector really of much and can’t say that I use mason jars all that often. What I love about this necklace is the idea of collecting something so special. When I see the mason jar full of hearts it makes me think of Jesus and all the blessings he has given me. So if I could collect anything in a mason jar it would be all the blessings I’ve received throughout my life.
I really do love your work and the thought you put into it and the uniqueness of it. I love that God created some people to be so creative because I’m just not wired that way. You have a wonderful gift, thanks for sharing it.
For organizational purposes – I have mason jars all over the house – holding all sorts of things.
I guess my favorite way is what they are intended for! But I use them to store leftovers in, freeze soup and stock, store beans and grains, all sorts of things!
I know this has probably been mentioned a thousand times, but I use my vintage blue mason jar as a vase for my Trader Joe and Farmer’s Market flowers….so cute.

Since then our toothbrushes have become friends in a mason jar! I love being married to my husband!
oh.my.goodness. if ever i could win a giveaway…!!
i love my mason jar soap dispensers. in the kitchen i have one big, clear one with dish soap (which has a lime hue) and an antique turquoise little one that holds hand soap. i love how they look on the windowsill together, catching the sun. they inspired the lime+turquoise color theme in the kitchen.
i know it’s a random drawing, but pick me, pick me!!
I love to put just about anything in a mason jar– buttons, beads… Handy, convenient & cute! Also great for storing leftovers in the fridge!

I love the idea from Melissa pf The Inspired Room to fill mason jars with epsom salt and add a votive candle. I bought one of the mason jars with wire handle from Pottery Barn and that’s how I’m using it. I like the idea of hanging them outside to create a little romance.

Don’t kitchen shelves look great lined with mason jars? Some filled with preserves, some with ingredients waiting to be baked or cooked into something yummy and the empty jars that make sipping ice tea even better. That’s just one room in the house! *love* mason jars.
I plan on using them this summer to put candles in when we have campfires outside : )
I love mason jars, especially to put grains and beans along with leftover in.
i also facebooked it!
I like to save them so my son can learn how to take tops on and off of things. So far we have been 100% successful! Ha!
My favorite thing to do with mason jars is wrap fine wire around them, place a votive inside and place them around my deck, on the picnic table, or even hang a few from our trees. It’s lovely to sit on the deck as the light fades and see the soft glow of the candlelight.
Althought I already commented on how I use mine for iced tea, I wondered if you had ever thought of putting/creating lightning bugs into the jar for your jewelry? It made me think today while working of all the different uses I have had in my life and that has to be a favorite memory as a kid collecting them and then releasing them so they wouldn’t die.
Love these! I use mason jars to house my candy buffets! I fill different sizes with different candies for Valentine’s Day and other special occasions. yummy!
i love using them to drink out of or for a vase. so cute! they also make awesome containers for “in a jar” recipes! 🙂
Blogged it, too! Thanks!
I also use mason jars for storing dry ingredients such as lentils, beans, oats. I like to tape off a little area and spray paint with chalkboard paint to label.
FB’d, it!
They are great for flowers, making salad dressings, and displaying fun stuff (I have one full of bird eggs, one full of shells, and one full of dried flowers). And for capturing lightning bugs…but don’t forget to poke holes in the lid!
I LOVE mason jars and use them everywhere…drinking, candy, flowers, little odds and ends.

I use Mason jars for EVERYTHING! I usually try and pick a few up at yard sales or Goodwill each year. Soon I will be cutting some daffodil bunches and giving them as little “cheery” gifts in mason jars.
My favorite way to use a mason jar is for all my herbs from the garden.
We harvested thyme, rosemary, basil, sage and thai basil. I have a little left from last years harvest. 🙂 I treasure fresh herbs in all my home cooked meals!
The jars with flowers can be strung with wire to hang from different heights and from different objects as hanging flower vases. Very cute! We use these are our charity events as well.
I use one to keep my salt in, also..
Oh I love mason jars and have lots of them around the house! I put q-tips in ours in the bathroom!
We grew up using Mason jars to drink tea and lemonade out of during endless summer night cookouts with friends and neighbors. After we finished our drinks, my brother and I would collect tadpoles or catepillars in them. Good memories!
I use them for the obvious…baking and cooking ingredients!
We use ours for date night ideas and kiddo treats…and buttons, pens, bobbin, flowers, and lots of other colorful stuff! I love the way they look around the house, and would LOVE one around my neck 🙂
They hold my permanent markers in my sewing room.
Twittered about it, too!
I facebooked about your giveaway! I also love my jars for flowers and just to look at for decor.
I love them for patio candle holders- the wind doesn’t blow the candles out!
I love to use them as drinking glasses filled with iced tea or lemonade! I love to hear the ice clink in the glass. There’s nothing more southern!
My children’s grandma Georgia always kept buttons in a mason jar. When the grandkids would visit she would bring out the buttons & give the kids a quilting needle with thread & the the kids would make bracelets & necklaces with the buttons. When grandma passed she gave the jar of buttons to my oldest daughter. To my daughter this is the dearest & most precious gift she has ever received. So I too wish to fill a mason jar full of buttons for my grandchildren to remind them of me & all the times we made jewelry.

Just tweeted!
I have a wonderful plan for a mason jar. For my best friend’s 40th birthday I am going to collect beautiful quotes, saying and notes from each of her friends and family and give them to her as a keepsake. I almost can’t wait for her birthday to arrive to give it to her.

I use them to put cat or dog food (or treats) in. Or small animal toys, etc. I then paint cute designs on the outside and add some embellishment (ribbon, etc.).
We sell them to raise money for spaying, neutering, and any other animal rescue expenses.
It is a great way to be creative and to help the truly helpless.

I love mason jars. The older the better. They are practical for canning, yet beautiful for holding fresh flowers.
Oh Lisa! My husband and I collected over 200 antique blue mason jars for our wedding- I adore them so much! Now they peak out of every little nook and cranny of our little 1940 home. This necklace reminds me of those happy wedding memories and the sweet little home we’ve built together. 🙂
As a vase for the daffodils my sons pick on their way in from the yard.

Comment #2!
i love mason jars with candles in them!
I use mine to hold buttons and other small things. My grand kids love to sit outside in the summer and fill them with dirt, grass or rocks. Mason jars can be so fun!
My favorite is putting homemade blackberry jam in them. The color looks so beautiful!
There’s nothing better than a cupcake in a Mason jar…except maybe flowers in a Mason jar…or pencils…or ribbon scraps…
my most favorite way to use mason jars?
temporary lightning bug observatories. (never permanent).
i also like to use them as drinking glasses–a wicked sweet tea, if you please. 🙂
We like to use them for candy, change, flour/sugar etc. My kids like to put rocks or seashells in them as well. The list could go on, there are so many options!
To catch and keep fireflies in the summer. Poke some holes in the top, add a few blades of grass and you are set!
I use them for gifts in a jar. Giving someone cookie or cake or muffin mix in a jar is a great gift. I made 100 of them for my wedding favors.
i blogged it.
We used mason jars as party favors with tiny gold fish in them.
My daughter catches lizards in our back yard (we live in fl) and we let her keep them and release them from the mason jars. She also decorates them with stickers (creating great mason jars memories )
I love to use mason jars for spices! I have a pantry full of them! My toddler uses them outside to collect bugs and interesting rocks!!
I would love to get my hands on some of the vintage blue mason jars to fill with wildflowers this spring.
i facebooked it:)
I love to fill them with pantry items in my kitchen.
I use mason jars filled with salsa to give away to friends and family at Christmas!
A vase! They are perfect for any kind of flower but especially the glads my boyfriend gives me!
Applesauce! Every since I was a little girl (I am 25 and married now) my mom made applesauce every fall and canned them in mason jars! Now EVERY time I see one all I can think of is the fall crisp air and the smell of apples cooking!
i love to put my coffee beans in a mason jar and then leave it out on the counter with a hand stamped, tea-stained tag tied around it that says coffee.
I have a few here and there for vases, pencil holders etc. I really need more though and have been keeping my eye out for them! I especially love the blue ones!
When I was little, my dad always drank his tea from a large mason jar.
Posted this to my FB.
Mason jars are great for storing buttons. 🙂
Flowers! Especially on cloudy March days!
I like to keep all of my change in a mason jar and then take it into the bank to turn into cash. I love spending it on something special!
Love the necklace!!! I love to use Mason Jars for making my homemade yogurt.
I use them for to hold cotton balls in the bathroom. 🙂 Gives it a clean, simple look. 🙂
What don’t I use them for?? Let’s see, we drink use them to drink sweet tea. And I use them to store my crochet hooks and my quilting safety pins. I’ve been collecting them for years and just love them!
I usually take my lunch on mason jars. But, we also use them as glass for water or other cold beverage. Love mason jars!
Oh, how I love mason jars. So versatile–and so eco-friendly. 🙂
My favorite use is to bring lemonade w/ raspberries or blueberries floating in it to work with me in the summertime. Perfect afternoon treat–and I can pretend that I’m sitting on a lovely wraparound porch and listening to the chirping birds while I sip.
I like to use mine for food that I buy at the bulk food store. Rice, dried beans or candy :).
Lastly mason jars are great to make “cake in a jar” with. A friend was able to do this for her husband in Afghanistan for his birthday and it was still fresh when it arrived!
My favorite use for Mason jars is to stick sand, beans, dried corn, etc in the bottom and stick a candle in it…then put a nice ribbon around the top…instant accent piece…love mason jars!
Lisa ~ I have to comment about this piece…this is the next necklace I am ordering once I get the money to treat myself. This is the perfect necklace as my hubby’s grandma passed away 7 years ago…one of my fondest memories is when my hubby and I would go up to visit his grandparents once a week they always had coffee brewing on the stove. One night while visiting I offered to make the coffee…there was a glass jar on the stove that to me looked like sugar…so in went two heaping teaspoons of what I thought was sugar into the coffee…needless to say the sour faces I got after they drank their coffee because the jar actually contained salt!!! We laughed about that often and when granny passed away the only thing I wanted was that salt jar…it is one of my very favorite possessions, even with chips and the plastic coffee lid on top. When I see that jar it just reminds me of the love Granny and Papa had for their grandson (my hubby) and me. Thanks for making jewelry that really speaks from the heart.
We are using mason jars of all shapes and sizes to decorate the tables at our women’s retreat this weekend. Our small group just put them together last night and they are soooo cute!
We have five jars together as a centerpiece. A simple ribbon tied around a big one in the middle holds a cluster of white daisies and pink tulips. Two smaller ones hold sea salt and tealights (the battery ones as we can’t have candles lit in the church building). Because every women’s even needs treats, one has colored hard candy to match our theme colors. And my favorite, one for collecting quarters for the laundry ministry to the homeless in our community.
Turned out so simple and cute… wish I had a picture to share!
I also think that wildflowers look gorgeous in a mason jar 😉
eeekkk!! I love mason jars and this necklace. A friend used them on the candy bar at her wedding. So cute and affordable!
I use mason jars as candle holders – I set a few together with different sizes/colors of candles and it makes a cute decorative centre piece for my kitchen table! or any room in the house 🙂
I use them for candles. I put little tea lights in the pint jars, and votive candles in the quart jars.
They are great to drink out of, especially ice cold lemonade!
If I won, I have a couple of people in mind to give it to. First, probably my mom…we have a close relationship. Or one of my good friends.
Drinking out of them! I’ve been collecting/thrifting these cute Mason jars with handles. They are my newest favorite finds.
I actually just ordered this necklace and it is on it’s way to me right now. It is a birthday gift from my parents for my 25th birthday!!
Great for flowers, art supplies, ribbons, old clothes pins in the laundry room, I have some that have been made into lamps filled with old marbles. Pretty much anything that will fit looks better in a Mason jar.
My favorites are the old blue ones.
I use them for flowers.
I love drinking freshly brewed iced tea in them. I like clear glass for all drinks, but for some reason, iced tea in the summer with loads of ice and a freshly cut lemon swimming around looks best in a mason jar!!!
I love filling them with daisies in the spring and acorns in the fall! Such a cute and inexpensive way to liven up a space 🙂
To Put Flowers In, Love that simple look.
One of my holiday traditions is to put tea light candles in them and line them up along our driveway for Christmas Eve. So pretty in the snow. Also fun the the summer too!
We always seem to have so many Mason jars. I don’t can anymore so I give my to a friend or my daughter-in-law who do. But mostly my husband uses them for nails and screws down in his workshop!!
To hold the dried rose petals from the roses my wonderful husband has given me over the years – makes them last forever…
Buttons, flowers, candy, you name it … they are so fun to fill!
I love to fill my blue mason jars with gorgeous, pink, sweet-smelling peonies from my garden. Can’t wait for them to bloom this spring!
I love putting wild flowers in them…. makes me think of my grandma’s house when i was little 🙂
I use mason jars to hold pocket change around the house. When they get full the bounty goes into savings and we start all over again collecting.
Mason jars…..my brother makes an awesome homemade pasta sauce & he uses Mason jars to can the sauce. It’s so yummy – definitely my favorite use of a Mason jar!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love to store vintage buttons to inspire me!
Little treasures that my children find! Little tokens of LOVE!
i love the “old barn” look of mason jars. I use them for decorations with candles or rocks, in the bathroom for q-tips and stray buttons…I’d like to transfer all my spices to small jars and add erasable chalkboard labels.
To put flowers in!
I love making lanterns out of them. We have done this as a camping craft with kids….tissue squares glued to the outside, beaded wire handles, a little candle and off on a night hike we go. Magical!
we use them mainly as drinking glasses and to hold anything else!
craft supplies — and peaches.
I love to hold various shades of white buttons. I have the old blue tinted jars filled with white buttons sitting on a shelf. Just gorgeous!
i tweeted it
Mason jars are for: Buttons, loose change before it goes into the wash, clippings of new plants starting to take root, whole grains and dried beans, home-made granola (my favorite!) & bath salts–to sit in my pantry or tie a pretty ribbon around and give to friends, and for drinking smoothies 🙂
i facebooked it

Thanks for the amazing opportunity! Cheers to mason jars!
My favorite ways to use Mason jars are for flowers, candy and pens/pencils. Right now I have some bright yellow daffodils on my kitchen window sill in a mason jar…they look great! Ove the summer we gave away some gifts to people with fresh tomato sauce from our garden, in mason jars of course!
We use a jar to write down things we’re thankful for and then draw one out to read. It’s a special family bonding moment.
I Fbooked it!

Another favorite mason jar in our house is tall and blue – a few of my husband’s grandmother’s 1950’s knitting needles sit in.
I use Mason jars to collect change around the house. Then when the jar is full, we spend the money on a family treat!
I love a simple flower arrangement in a mason jar … there’s nothing sweeter. Well, maybe if it was filled with candy. 🙂

I’m actually doing a “mason jar theme” at my wedding – I’ve made 65 jars of homemade jams, the centerpieces will have flowers in big and little mason jars, and candles in little mason jars. At home, we use mason jars for our canning, as vases, and to store dry beans and pasta in. What can I say, I love mason jars!
You know, I really don’t use Mason jars but I’m getting more and more into vintage stuff. I need to get some and use them for stuff like putting pens & pencils in, spring flowers, old buttons.
I use mason jars to store things…..dry beans, nuts, my collection of wooden spools, etc… I love them. Some are my Grams. Those are my favorites.
Thanks for the chance to win.
So cute. Mason jars are fabulous -most commonly used in my house for centerpieces with flowers and candles.
Right now, of the hundreds of Mason jars that I have sitting around this house, the one that has Jelly Bellys in it is my FAVORITE!!
I would use the jar for memories. My friend who past away while in high school…his family has a jar and whenever they get any special memories about Matt they put them in the jar. I loved the idea of it all and that is how I would use a jar. xoxoxo I love your designs!
I love to use mason jars as art… I put leftover yarn strands or small balls of yarn in them and display them on a table or shelf.
Along with our kiddo’s mason jar display in his room, my own favorite mason jar collection is filled with my great grandma’s collection of thread – all on wooden spools. The colors are so bright! The robin’s egg blue spool was the color inspiration for my wedding dress…it sits at the top of the jar.
I love to use mason jars to make cookies in a jar, and give them as presents to friends and loved ones!
I collect vintage buttons and then put them in mason jars. They look so pretty in them! Love to use them as vases for flowers also.
I use them for all sorts of things. Candles, canning, seashells, and just plain decor. I love the look of them. :]
Right now, mason jars sit on shelves in our son, Cooper’s, room (20 mos.)…they are filled with new “old school” pencils, little green army men, dominoes and another with blue monkeys from the Barrel of Monkeys game.
Leaving comment on my blog!
Love your necklace. Mason jars bring back great memories of my grandmother canning her wonderful sweet and sour pickles! We have a raised bed in our backyard and grow lots of tomatoes! We pick ’em, wash ’em and put ’em right in a pot! Canning tomato suace has become our family tradition. Opening a mason jar full of suace in the middle of winter is like opening a jar of summer sunshine! I like the wide mouth ones the best!
i love to use mason jars to hold my colored pencils, buttons, flowers and change…the possibilities are endless! 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win. This necklace has been my favorite. The comments about buttons remind me of my childhood. My aunt gave me a huge jar of buttons as a gift one year and I would often dump them out and explore the colors and textures and then put them all back to store. 🙂
Oh I haven’t used mason jars since I caught lightening bugs and put them in jars when I was little. Love your beautiful jewelry!
My husband and I use mason jars to keep pipe tobacco fresh. Every time we open one up it fills the room!
i love to put fresh flowers in them 🙂 and put them on the kitchen table
Gosh is this hard!! I guess my favorite way is to store odds and ends in them – paint brushes, extra buttons, craft supplies, etc.
We also have a few mason jars hanging on our back porch with tea lights inside, rustic lanterns of course.
I use mason jars for EVERYTHING! And I really do mean everything. They hold pens and pencils, beautiful flowers, hot glue sticks, makeup pencils and brushes, hair accessories, coins, and little treasures from my kids. They are the perfect container for almost everything!
I used mason jars from my mom’s home, put light blue cut glass and a candle and lined the walkway for our son’s wedding! Absolutely beautiful plus it was a light from Heaven as my Mom, Dad and sister are in Heaven!
I love to use mason jars for flowers and to store my son’s treasures from the outdoors. As soon as I have the time and money to start canning, making yummy food to put in them will be next!
I love cocktails in mason jars with pretty garnishes!
I love to use mason jars to store my ribbon supple in the colours of the rainbow. It makes it easy to see what I have and looks so pretty on the shelf.
i just love to look at them!! i have them all over my house 🙂
Filling a mason jar with fresh cut tulips is one of my favorite ways to fill a mason jar.
I have a great mason jar with a very rusty lid. Inside I filled it with old buttons. Looks very country.
my 4-year-old son is a collector, sorter, filler-and-dumper … so he has appropriated many a mason jar to fill with coins, legos and other small treasures.
All of the above. Seriously. They’re pretty much in every room of my house, being utilized. My new favorite way to put them to work is using the 1/2 pint jars for my granddaughters drinking glasses. Little girls drinking from these small cuties is so adorable.
I love to use them for canning peaches! Yum!
I use mason jars for anything….storing coffee or nuts and displaying river rocks! Love to see some of the other ideas people had. 🙂
Wow Lisa, this is incredibly generous of you! We love using mason jars as vases for flowers. Theyre less formal than a vase, hold alot of flowers and just look great!
XO,
Sarah
My granddaughter lives on the east coast so when I have the chance to go to the beach with her–we collect sea shells. When I bring them home to Indiana they go into a mason jar so I can be reminded of the great time we had together. Makes my day to see that memory everyday.
I like putting sand in the bottom of the mason jars and then putting a candle in to use on the deck.
I have old marbles in a mason jar.

I use mason jars to store buttons by color. That must mean I have a lot. Lol
I keep a large mason jar on my island with pretzels inside. My son loves to snack on them. Also the small ones work great for dips or nuts on a veggie or fruit platter.
At Christmas time I fill them (different sizes) with cranberries and water and float a cranberry tea candle. And in the spring and summer I put flowers in them
I love to use them as a vase and put fresh flowers around the house- I have one on the table with a camilla now and one on the counter with goldenrod!
I love mason jars for glasses and for vases. Such a full touch to any home 🙂

I LOVE mason jars!

Here in Alabama, we use them as drinking glasses 🙂
We have a ton of mason jars from my hubby’s g-ma. She canned for years and we bought her home and found them all stashed in the cellar.
I LOVE them for drinking iced tea. Yes, the lip at the top makes you dribble tea down your chin, but I don’t care. There’s something that makes you think of family and home, and of IdaLee, (his g-ma) when I’m sipping from my mason jar.
🙂
I also have a mason jar that I fill with our loose buttons
I also put dry cooking stuff in them – rice, quinoa, bulgur wheat, cous-cous, pasta, black beans, lentils, etc…. they all look rather nice lined up on the shelf!

Love your jewelry. I’ve purchased pieces for friends but would love something for myself. The adoption necklace would be perfect as we adopted our son 26 years ago. He is such a treasure and I would love something to wear daily to commemorate that blessed event.
How fun this is. I bet everyone uses them a different way.
I sure hope I win one of those beautiful necklaces.
I use the jars for so many things. I use them to store baking supplies, like chocolate chips, sugar, marshmallows. I use them to store buttons, cottonballs. I also use them as a flower vase. Oh the best is to fill them with cookie or brownie ingredients and give as a gift.
Happy day Lisa

I use mason jars for everything! I make my own jams and pickles for starter. In my bathroom I have a jar holding my toothbrush and toothpaste and another one holding mascara, eye pencils and eye shadow sticks as well as one for lipsticks. In my living room I have a jar for pencils, a monster big one holding candle sticks and some small ones in the window with votive candles (very pretty, I recommend it!)
I even have 2 mason jars that I use for iced tea. They’re bigger than my glasses so there’s place for lots of ice, fresh mint, lemon slices and enough tea to beat the summer heat!

I love to put my craft items in Mason jars!
I use the german equivalent “Weck-Glas” (I guess thats what it is) for anything: Ribbons, craft supplies, flowers, storing food, gifts, pens on my desk, cotton balls in the bathroom, candles…
Hello from Germany, I really love your work and blog,
Hannah

Things like paperclips, pennies, a sock,animal crackers, her little books, rocks from the neighbor’s driveway…. We put them in a jar on the kitchen window sill so we’ll have them when she comes back. But then, she always brings MORE treasures to leave. A little “love” for grandma and grandpa to find when she’s gone….

Second … mason jars are so versatile that I can’t pick just one favorite way to use it (I have to pick three) 😉 1) drinking glass. my favorite restaurant serves their drinks in HUGE mason jars. and I just love it! 2) canister. to store just about anything … pens/pencils, flowers, loose buttons … I could go on forever. 3) candle holder.
I use them to store art supplies in my craft room, but I absolutely HAVE to put daisies in them, if I am lucky enough to get some! ( sometimes I cheat & buy some just for ME)!! Love the new necklace, but then, I love ALL of your designs! Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
I keep my makeup brushes in one!
full of home made strawberry jam for a taste of summer in the middle of a long, cold winter…yum
I also use Mason Jars to put all the little flowers that my beautiful Grandchildren pick for me. Thanks.
I like to use them for glasses and also to hold straws, then in my boys’ room they use them for nerf darts and special notes and silly bands on their dresser 🙂
I love them for putting little gifts into – especially this homemade sugar scrub that I make! I have always wanted to make a soap dispenser out of one too!
Thank you for the chance to win!
I like to put my scrapbooking scissors in mason jars.
I like to drink out of mason jars! I also like to put candle in them and hang them in the trees from wires. Thanks for the opportunity to win a necklace!
Fill them full of fresh cut flowers from my yard in the summer.
I use them to can veggies!
I love them for storing cotton balls and Q-tips in the bathroom!
Facebook’ed it!!
When I was little we would run around Grandma and Grandpas house catching lightning bugs in Mason jars that Grandma had, put the lid on with small little holes and it was so amazing. In my area now, there are not near as many. But what a memory! Thanks!
Mason jars are for catching fireflies! And for little white lights – to sit on the countertop and light up the dark! I love this necklace – a perfect gift for my daughters – who are the ones who catch the fireflies!
I love them for packaging gifts. Cupcakes, bath salts, flowers, gift cards…you name it.

What a generous giveaway. Lisa! Thank you for the chance to win your beautiful necklace! 🙂
I’ve used Mason jars for many things like catching fireflies and collecting seashells, but right now they’re holding paint brushes. I love how they look with a candle inside (esp. blue), holding buttons, wildflowers, marbles, picnic utencils, lemonade with fresh lemon slices, and as a home for a goldfish or beta too! 🙂
Blessings!
I love using mason jars for all my son’s treasures. I have mason jars filled with the rocks that I would pull out of his little pockets when I did laundry, the marbles that he collected, and the special pine cones he would bring me. They started as his treasures and now they’re mine because they represent the little boy I will forever hold in my heart.
they make the best casual vases for wildflowers
I like to keep marbles in my mason jars — that way I know where they are when I lose them. My marbles that is!
I love this necklace!! So beautiful! I use mason jars all over my house and I like pearls as filler and candles! Would love to win!

Blogged it! http://trulynaturallyme.blogspot.com/2011/03/giveaway-lisa-leonard-jewelry.html
I love to put March Lilies, Forsythia bush, and/or Redbud blossoms in a Mason jar and set on my dining room table. To me, that is the first sign that spring really has “sprung.”
I actually started using them to put a little piece of our family vacation in! Our daughter is 3 and when she was 2, we took our first family vacation to the beach. In the jar is sand and seashells that my daughter and I collected. Then I labeled the jar ‘Pawleys Island 2009’ w/ a piece of Scotch tape. I did the same in 2010, and I intend to continue over the years. They look so cute sitting next to each other on a shelf.
I got the idea from Young House Love and then put my own spin on it. 🙂
… and I shared on Facebook :).
I tweeted :).
There is one in our guest room that has the Hersey’s Easter candy eggs in it. The spring colors and match quilt in the room perfectly!
I love them in the kitchen for holding straws … a vintage blue one turned soap dispenser. Decorating, organizing … and of course canning :).
Happy Day!
I also love to put fresh flowers in mason jars! So beautiful! Love the necklace!!!

I like to use them as a flower vase

I love all of the inspiring uses for mason jars! I need to get more mason jars around the house now!! 🙂
We use them for many things – yesterday I just filled one with wooden beads for a little girl to string!
They are prefect for making gifts of soup and cookie mixes.
We use mason jars for all of our little girl’s special “findings”…rocks, shells, etc. It is her special place to keep it.
I love mason jars soo much! I want to make a chandelier with them for my dining room!

…and growing up mama always served us sweet tea in them!!
I love to layer a mason jar with ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and give them away at Christmas time. It looks way cool and everyone likes cookies!
Posted it on facebook!! 🙂
Usually I put flowers in mason jars. Last summer, however, I had my first experience canning tomatoes. Now that it’s winter, I love, love, love the fact that I have garden tomatoes to use in recipes!! 🙂
I don’t own real glasses; I just use mason jars. Most girls love it, and guys think I’m a little odd, but I love them. And flowers are delightful in them, as well as buttons, coffee beans, ribbons, pens, paintbrushes… You know, all the important stuff 🙂
Being a science teacher, I always have little expirements going on around my classroom and home. Mason jars make the best containers for those expirements. Nothing is more beautiful in a mason jar than sugar and salt crystals. I have about five sitting on my windowsill right now filled with different colors of sugar crystals (rock candy!) and colored, perfumed bath salts.
I use them for dry ingredients such as choc. chips, raisins, pasta, etc. But they really look pretty with wild flowers in at our cottage. Going to have to try the seashells and sand though.
I don’t use Mason jars at all like I should. I just store random stuff in them! You are inspiring me to do some cute things!
I like to put my daughter’s many art supplies in them 🙂
What else but for lighting bugs that you catch on a summer night with your babies!!
I was actually watching the food network one day, and I saw the lady fill up a mason jar with coffee and then put a simple candle in the middle and tied it with a bow. I definitly tried it and it makes the whole house smell like coffee! It was a great idea!
I just saw the coolest thing on Etsy today using a mason jar as a light fixture… would look so cool hanging by our hottub!
I absolutely love mason jars. I have several antique blue ones above my kitchen cabinets. I have put white christmas lights around them. They are so twinkly. I have them on a timer so they always turn on. Otherwise I would always forget. I love them! And I would love to win a necklace too!! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
oh let’s see…one for colored pencils, one for makeup brushes, one for seashells, one for seaglass, one for skittles, one for change. the list could go on and on. i love mason jars and this necklace!
We put our extra change in them. I LOVE MASON JARS!!
I use them to put candy or cookie mixes in and then give them away as presents!
I LOVE the way mason jars look with vibrant strawberry freezer jam in them and growing up we used them as cups!
I love the jars & use them for all sorts of things. Right now in my kitchen I have one full of kosher salt, one full of mint sugar (mint was from my garden last summer), and one with chai tea mix. Have some filled with ribbon & buttons in my craft room. They come in handy for so many different things!
I like them with buttons or flowers. A simple but beautiful decoration.
I love to put flowers in my mason jars!
We use them to keep our memories in. We’ve got one stuffed with ticket stubs, another with rocks collected from great-grandma’s rock bed, another with shells from our first time at the beach…you get the idea.
And finally I have just started collected all those extra buttons we get with new clothes and all my fortunes from fortune cookies and putting them in a mason jar on my desk. Not sure why or how I came up with this, but makes s great little statement, I try to have some of the fortunes showing through glass
Tweet Tweet!! Love ALL of your jewelry!
I love to use a mason jar in my classroom (2nd Grade) to hold a Preying Mantis egg. I cover the jar with Saran Wrap and when the egg hatches, there are about 200 little Mantis’ that we take outside and free into the garden! 🙂
I love mason jars- especially the old blue ones. I use them for lots of things but my favorite is full of buttons.
Facebooked it too!
I’m considering finally getting on to twitter for just the purpose of this giveaway!
I like to put anything loose together in a mason jar! Several antique spoons? Put em in a mason jar! Paint brushes from your summer in China? Put em in a mason jar! Everything is elevated to a collection when they’re grouped into a mason jar!
I also put shells collected during a mission trip to rocky point Mexico in a mason jar
Sweet Tea!
I like to use them for various crafty items and I keep my spare change in one
I would love to fill mason jars with spring flower! They’re great to store little trinkets, and have such clean look. Hope to win 🙂
The latest idea for great usage of mason jars was in my kids arts and crafts area. Using the shelf about the desk area I took the top lid of the jar and screwed it into the shelf. Then I filled the jars with buttons, stickers and other crafty things. The kids are able to twist and untwist the jar on their own and the jars hang from the lid. Cool huh?
Fig perserves. Love the necklace.
for homemade strawberry jam….
I blogged about your lovely work and this lovely giveaway!
http://happilyhomesewn.blogspot.com/2011/03/treasure-to-giveaway.html

I like to use them for vases and spare change! I love the necklace!
Mason jars were made to drip with moisture, full of sweet tea which shall be enjoyed at the beach.

I like to put fresh flowers in a mason jar, either for myself or someone special.
I blogged about this! Yay!
Just posted this on FB!

I also love to use mason jars to fill with dry ingredients needed to make cookies. I print out the recipe, string with ribbon, and tie around the top of the jar before sealing the top. It makes great gifts for teachers too.
Sitting on the front porch swing, the sweat on the mason jar running through your fingers on a hot July day. The anticipation of your cool drink (lemonade or sweet tea) to refresh you from the inside out. Another great memory of a mason jar for me is watching my grandmother can green beans and pickles. She would just tell stories and sing songs. The magic of a mason jar 🙂
I use it for jamming
I tweeted it!!!

I have a few mason jars fillled with letters from my hubby who was then my bf 16 years ago. Including little keepsakes from all the travels we’ve shared together. Mason jars remind me of our little world filled with all the love, friendship, promises and dreams we have shared together. Seeing our memories through these jars makes me feel loved and cherished.
=D
I love to put tea lights in them – so sweet and they don’t blow out as easily when outside!

Every year my dad plants a garden and spends all summer growing delicious homegrown vegetables.

My family’s favorite thing to do with mason jars is to collect change for my daughters. My father started this when my 5 year old, Addisyn, was born. My two girls now have a collection of fun jars full of change. Some with collector coins, as Grandpa is an avid coin collector. Some day those coins will help pay for their college educations. For now, they make cute decorations that are useful as well!!
I just posted on facebook!!
My husband keeps dirt from the yard of the house he grew up in. So sentimental.
I don’t use mason jars… I don’t have any at all….LOL Must be the only one in the world who doesn’t…but I love your jewelry……..
I use Mason jars for flowers, buttons, spools of thread, knitting needles, bobbins, notions, mararoni, flowers, sand and seashells, and special rocks.
We will be using them to hold candy (yellow) as part of the table centerpieces at my sister’s upcoming wedding!

I use mason jars to catch fire flies in the summer. I also use them for cotton balls in the bathroom.

When my husband gives me a bouquet of flowers, I take 2 or 3 buds and cut them short and place them in a mason jar, then place the jar on my nightstand. That way, when I wake up, a little bit of the bouquet is right there. 🙂
Mason Jars are a BIG item in my house. We can in them in the Summer, once they are emptied, they are used for drinking glasses. I store grain and beans in them. I put flowers in them when I cut some out of the garden or honey brings some home to me. Older ones line my shelves as decorations or hold bath salts in the bathroom. They are a necessity in this house of ours.
🙂

Oh my gosh! What a fun question because lately one of my favorite things have been mason jars! My favorite way to use my jar is to put flowers in it {currently I have ranniculas in it.} and put it on my sink because I don’t have a kitchen window to look out {boo!} so they cheer me up and make me feel happy while I pretend I am looking out into my backyard with flowers….hehe 😉
I use mason jars for homemade pickles! 🙂

My daughter stores her little treasures in them: beads, magnets, her favorite paintbrush, a few stray collected rocks…
I like to make cookies-in-a-jar for other people!
I love mason jars! I actually made over 50 mason jar lanterns for my wedding using wire. You simply wrap the wire around the lip of the jar then make a wire ‘handle’ to hang. I filled the bottoms with some sand, some sea glass bits and a votive candle. We hung them from the trees and the fence posts at our backyard reception. They lent a very magical and romantic candle lit glow to our celebration. I actually managed to find many vintage mason jars at thrift stores all over town for .50 to 1.00 each. We still have several of the mason jar lanterns and bring them out regularly for parties – what a wonderful reminder of our special day.
My favorite thing to do with mason jars it’s to put ingredients for yummy homemade recipes for cookies or soup to give away to friends during the holidays.
we use them for summertime drinks like sweet tea and lemonade!
We put them on our bathroom countertops and store our toothpaste and tooth brushes in them.
I like to use mason jars for things that would otherwise end up in my junk drawer – all sorts of odds and ends look surprisingly cute in one.
I like using mason jars to store my 6 y.o. son’s little teeny tiny lego pieces. 🙂
Right now I have a blue one on my mantle holding some berry branches with sweet little fabric birds sitting in the branches. I love the light blue color.
We love to drink out of them, use them for flowers, put small items such my girls array of beads in them and most of all we like to put homemade pickled okra, bread & butter and crunchy sweet pickles in them.
I love to use them for little trinkets, they work great for anything.
I am crossing my fingers. This is one of my absolute favorite designs of yours.
We put game pieces that have been lost inside. Everyone puts them there when they’ve been found. We keep the jar with the games and when we find a game with a missing piece we go to the “jar of misfit game pieces” and see if it’s been found yet.
We make our own Sage chicken rub. We put it in simply decorated. Mason jars with recipes for gifts.
