Take a jar. Put a bag of cinnamon hearts in the bottom. Plop in a copy of a vintage Valentine postcard. Instant red hot romance.
OK, that might be going a bit far. Instant vignette, at least.
I was going to put Valentine M&M's in it, but my butt's big enough. You gotta use a candy that you don't love more than life itself or you're just asking for it to be refilled constantly.
It's the same jar I used in December for a snowy scene.
I'm already searching for pint sized leprechauns for St. Patty's Day.

Love it. Seriously easy. Seriously fabulous. Valentine hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing about the candy because that is so true! If it's not candy I like it will last in the vignette. I really like your jar. I think my Mom has one like that, hmmmm wonder if I can 'borrow' it next time I visit her!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
I seriously cannot find a candy I will not eat if I am craving sugar-I am craving sugar often my friend. Love this idea. I actually found a vintage Valentine today-aren't you proud of me? Must have got it at an estate sale.
ReplyDeleteThat's a multi purpose jar!! I remember it from Christmas, looks just as nice for Valentines!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute vignette! This would be a great one for me to do. I wouldn't even eat all of the candy out of it. I've got the perfect pink depression glass cookie jar for it.
ReplyDeleteI think you can get a leprechaun in time for St. Patrick's day if you start now. Just put the empty jar outside with the lid off and a leprechaun may wander in. Or if that plan fails, you may be able to find one for sale online.
I love jar vignettes. That African violet is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it. That Christmas jar is my absolute FAVE! But this one is a close second!

ReplyDeleteThat's cute Pam. I know what you mean about candy disappearing from jars. At least it does at my house.

I agree totally! No chocolate in my candy dishes!
ReplyDeleteI love your pink hobnail planter! I dont' think I've ever seen anything but white befors.
Looking yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe postcard is getting is getting around.

Very cute! I use the trick of buying candy I don't like too...especially at Halloween.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Pam this project is adorable. I liked your quick and easy garland but this . . . oh this is even better!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for the clever ideas! Xoxo Marissa
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! A Valentine's snowglobe~ too cute! BTW loved the Valentine's garland as well.
ReplyDeletePam what a cute idea! I never buy M&Ms either haha.

Pam, you are hilarious, but oh so correct. I would come down the following morning and my jar would surely have been emptied, too. Red Hots are the way to go! Love your sense of wit ;)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Pam. It's the little things that make me smile.
ReplyDeleteCute! Great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, and great strategy on the candy jar. Afterall, it is a single serving jar, right? :)
ReplyDeleteCharming!

ReplyDeletethis is so cute! I have a bit of an obsession with jars so i'm always looking for cute little waysto decorate with them!
ReplyDeleteAdorable...agree, I'm thinking of "banning" M&M's at my house...especially the peanut butter ones. Dangerous!!
