Prayers and Prayers and Prayers….
and we, the more fortunate today, go on with our normal lives…because that’s what we have to do, one foot in front of the other, taking the next step as they must…one moment at a time…
I have a little confession to make. It’s embarrassing. After all, I paint glass professionally. You would think a little glass jar would be a piece of cake. There are tons of tutorials in blogland on DYI tinted jars. I read them. I even knew how to keep it from washing off. But I can’t do it. Nope. Won’t even show you a photo. Total disaster. But I knew I had to have some of those blue tinted Ball jars…
I could have gone antiquing and hunted down some fabulous meaningful vintage ones, but patience is not my strong suit. Amazon.com knows this. With a few clicks these little blue beauties were on their way! $13.99 for a set of 6, no tax {boy I hope that doesn’t change!}, and free shipping. I was a happy girl!
They are pretty at night too!
A cobalt blue plate, a colorful striped napkin, and a mini flip flop
some jars with flowers
tea lights in blue hurricanes
and a festive summer table top is born!
No place mats today, just the plain bleached wood and a creamy charger marks the place setting
and a child’s size flip flop to hold the napkin
I could hardly wait for the sun to go down
so I could set the tea lights aflame
and see the blue jars by candlelight
how they glow and sparkle
in the sunshine and at night~
We are ready for a cozy little summer dinner for 2!
You will see these blue jars often, they are making appearances all over the place~ if you don’t have any now, watch out, I am going to make you want some!
Stop back by next week and you can see the before and after photos of this room, it’s quite shocking!!
