Begins And Ends With Jar


Bloggers on this side of the pond  and beyond use their Bonne Maman jars to great effect. They store kitchen staples and craft items in the jars with the picnic tablecloth lid on top.  

Me? I fill mine with yogurt and the fruit of the day and schlep it to work along with a bag of my granola.  Then with phones ringing and drivers hanging over my shoulder looking at today's orders, I happily break my fast.  

Why does food taste so good eaten out of a jar at work?  One of life's little mysteries.





Totally fortified, I then start to fill an assortment of bowls and jars with  flowers.  Hopefully assuaging others' appetites as well. Both for the scent and the colors of spring.  


Unfortunately I have no control over the weather.  Can't help you there.

See you Monday.  Let's let the sunshine in.

    Every morning my hubby takes his vitamins and washes them down with iced tea in a Bonne Maman jar. I store herbs and spices in them and shake flour and water for gravy. I will think of you the next time I reach for one.

    A very pretty spring bouquet, thank you.

    Have a good weekend.

    Marianne, Why thank you! Will you be joining us Monday?

    Sarah, Yes it is. Amazing to get paid for it.

    Renee, is this what they mean by thinking out of the box?

    Webb, You should, you'd love it. Too bad you can't take them at the Little Flower School in NY.

    Sheri B., How can people just throw them out? So handy. see you Monday!

    Fishermans Cottage, It's a small world our blog world. I haven't had the cherry, will try. xo

    Semi Expat, Thanks. They make themselves in Spring!

    What beautiful little jars! Little works of art, aren't they?

    And your flowers! A jumble of color and texture, and beautiful in its randomness.

    A full 27 points there for excellent jar use, o discerning and practical one. I feel some copycat lunching coming on.
