By now, you know how much I L.O.V.E. jars!
Gifts in a jar, a Flower Pen in a Jar, the Beach in a Jar, the ‘John Jar’ {I’ll tell you about that one soon}… and here’s another favorite use ~ Fresh Flowers in a Jar! 
For Valentine’s Day, my hubby got me 2 pretty bouquets ~ roses and lillies. {my favorites ~ he’s so sweet!} So yes ~ I’ve got some fancy schmancy vases in my cupboard, but I reached for a jar instead.
Jars are so sweet and simple ~ just the way I like things! {and yes ~ this was one was actually an old Spaghetti Sauce jar… turned vase with some fun ribbon from Hobby Lobby!}

I like jars for holding change and other little odds n ends (like nuts and bolts I find in the hub’s pockets when I do the laundry). I recently shared a post on my blog for re-using those big plastic snack jars and even a plastic mayonnaise jar. You can see it here: http://www.underthebigoaktree.com/2012/02/frugal-toy-storage.html
I like to take things out of the boxes and bags they come in so my cupboards are pretty and look less like a grocery store. I also have a thing against half used bags of pasta – so ugly! I have Crystal Light singles, gluten free noodles, cupcake liners, coffee, mixed nuts and more in jars in the kitchen.
In the medicine cabinet, a small seaweed jar holds the neosporin, cortaid and benadryl cream. They all stand up straight and take up very little space that way.
On my craft desk I have salsa, baby food, spaghetti, and jam jars full of buttons, hair clips, beads, safety pins, and even jingle bells.
It looks really pretty to have all the miscellaneous jars all liked up along the top.
I reuse the plastic baby food containers by putting snacks for my daughters lunch. baby carrots fit perfectly, slices of any fruit or vegetables also fit well & they don’t get smashed. Also, frozen blueberries, dried fruits, wheat thins fit perfectly and the portion is perfect for children.
