Sometimes....
someone just decides to do something nice for you
to bless you
just because
And while some may choose to think
it's because the recipient is deserving...
in this case,
it's because the giver is completely
wonderful
generous
thoughtful
and amazing!
Thank you
Mary from Urban Farmgirl
for sending me EIGHT (!) of these fantastic vintage blue ball jars!
I am constantly
amazed and humbled
by the generosity of my blog buddies...
sincerely, y'all are some of the best people
I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Here's hoping your week is a blessed one, too!

What a sweet gift. They are beautifully photographed. I love my jars like these. Mine are filled with pecans, almonds, cashews, wheat bran, etc... I love using them.

I truly do thank God for the people He has chosen to send to enrich my life as friends through such a small thing as blogging. It's also a wonder when I see blessings come back ten fold (or in this case 8). May you continue to be so blessed in 2011. Happy New Year.

P.S. I hope Mr. T is safely home with you now.
I'm back.
wanted to share that I know Mary from the Kane County Flea.
she is a dear and has the most beautiful smile.
I believe she would do anything for anyone.
You're blessed beyond measure to know her.
That is SO nice, am loving those blue jars for sure!
alicia
That IS sweet! And they are gorgeous! Hope you have some fun New Year's plans!!!
i'm sure her generosity was inspired by your fabulous personality. you're a great woman and so is she. blessings for the new year and your new home.

shelley
It's called blessed. I haven't been by in a while, I'm horrible I know. Well wishes for the new year.
Oh Anne, you are so sweet yourself. I have read your blog from the beginning and you are also so inspiring. I just noticed you have a Nikon camera. I received one for Christmas, so I may be asking for some assistance, if that's okay :)
You are right Mary was definitely generous in sending you those Ball jars. I hope I can form the same kind of friendships, with my blog.
Thanks for sharing.
Love them! Love mine!
You totally deserve such a sweet surprise. Enjoy them and let us know how you use them!
What a thoughtful, beautiful gift! I am sure Mary is loving how you are showing them off in those awesome photos!!
Kudos to Mary for picking such an amazing gift and to Anne for representing it so beautifully :-)
Jem xXx
Those are so amazing. I often see them without their tops. Why is it I never come across a whole bunch of those zinc lids???!! That Mary sure is generous and you are very deserving too, why just look at how you've inspired so many with your photography! xoxo ~Lili
What a sweet friend, Anne! I tell ya --- blog friends are the BEST! :) Your photos, as usual, are just stunning. I can hardly wait to see those awesome jars in your new home! ♥ Happy New Year to you, sweetie!

I couldn't write this comment when I saw you post...I had to wait until I got home and run right to my computer.
There I was...in downtown Chicago in their famous shopping district with my 4 teenage nieces. We pop into the Apple store to look around (I think they were actually just wanting to post on Facebook that they were shopping the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Ha!) and I decide to pull up my blog and cruise around for a few minutes. I could not believe my eyes when I saw your beauitful post!
You totally surprised me, my friend. I am so lucky to "know" you...sweet works and ever sweeter photos. I truly thank you for being who you are. Warm and so genuine. THANK YOU...for the thank you. Not necessary, but so appreciated. I am just happy the jars have a happy home. ;o)
Happy New Year...may all your dreams take flight in 2011!!
Mary
Ok, so I meant "sweet words". You knew what I meant...haha!
Mary
Lucky me, Lucky me. I pulled up your blog where I saw it in the January Issue of "Romantic Homes" magazine. I loved everything about your blog, including the love that you seem to have for the Lord. I have saved you as one of my favorite so I can go back and double check it and have also emailed it to a friend of mine. Thanks for a wonderful blog and the ideas that you have. I do estate sales and need a new camera, but I don't take great pictures. My sister that died a week ago was the picture taker and did my estate sale pictures. Keep up the great work and best of luck to you.
