The croquet-inspired sign is a creation by Sue Whitney of JunkMarket Style.
I snagged it (and the swing seat) from her garage sale last year!

I love the jars! Putting tea lights in the lids is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteOh so clever and I love it.. especially the swing!! Things to look for at my next garage sale!!
ReplyDeleteThose are GREAT ideas...I love how they all kind of follow a theme and build on each other. I have a stepping stool in my dad's garage...On a table, that could make a great spot to put some napkins on top of and place serving trays.

That's FOUR keepers in one post! If it were not still so doggone hot, I would want to entertain. I'll keep coming back until it cools down for more ideas.
I love the idea of separate mason jars for each type of flatware! I used to have mine all clumped together. I am going to Goodwill this weekend to stock up on jars to separate them out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove that chalkboard!
ReplyDelete~*~*LOVE..LOVE..LOVE..LOVE..~*~* Thanks!! Rachel
ReplyDeleteSeparate mason jars got me to thinking. What if you had one for each person with their silverware and napkin? Wow, something to eat with, clean up with AND drink out of!
ReplyDeleteLike the guy used to say..."You got a million of 'em"! Keep 'em comin'!

ReplyDeleteFab ideas as usual.... hey Amy, you are going to Junk Bonanza, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Really love the silver in the jars. It will be a great new way to display some silver flatware at my next antique show. thanks for sharing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of the mason jars for your utensils. I actually have mine in a planter on my table. It is very unique but keeps that flatware handy.
ReplyDeleteOk, why didn't I see that chalkboard and the swing seat! Darn nabbit! Everything looks great. All you need now is some guests...I'll be right up :)

fun fun tips - I love that you use the jars AND the lids!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your mason jar idea! You grabbed my attention with outdoor entertaining, because that's usually not associated with fall-which is why I love it. I'm about to do some myself over my new fire pit. Found you at the fall nesting party and I love your idea and your blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete.heather.
That is cute - we MUST have been on the same wavelength with the jars. I love your idea of using the lids as tea light holder - NICE!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tease! Can't wait to see the rest of your ideas.
