Is The Glass Half Full or Half Empty?
Why it’s half full of course! But the real question is, with what?
After hosting a friend’s baby shower recently, I finally couldn’t resist the temptation to invest in three different size and shapes of apothecary jars.
To honor the baby boy, I assembled an assorted mixture of blue candies and chocolate for a candy buffet per the color palette of the par-tay.
Now that most of the goodies have been gobbled, I can hardly wait to make a decorative statement with them in other interior decor capacities.
These following images really get my creative gears going. Like this sweet image of a collection of simple sea shells, (say that five times quickly!)

Or this delicate assembly of moss, robin’s eggs and a nest
Or what about this chic display to dress up your vanity, filled with soaps and natural sponges etc.

Or removing the lid and using it to double as vase with some beautiful greenery? LOVE!
So now I believe the question is really not, “what to fill your apothecary jars with?” But “what not?”
The possibilities are endless.
P.S. If you are looking for a place to locally source apothecary jars, I recommend The Confectionery.
