Not a great bargain but as soon as I spotted them I remembered Maria's Anthropologie Set of Spice Jars that she featured here.
What do you think?
I was pretty happy with the way they turned out.
I spent some time yesterday rearranging in order to fit in my new copy cat spice jars.
My Nicholas is on holidays this week, he is lucky at this time of the year to get an extra week off school but unfortunately I don't have any time off these holidays and given that the public schools are not on holidays yet there isn't any holiday care programs running this week. He has a slack mum who isn't organised and that means that Nicholas gets to come to mum's work for the week and hang out there! It isn't all bad we have a great tea room with a TV and DVD player and he can lay on the lounge and read or watch a movie or play the PSP or he can embrace the opportunity to learn all about the joys of banking ; )
Just a reminder if you haven't already entered Laura's first giveaway you should go and have a look at her gorgeous cushions. Laura is giving one away in order to celebrate the opening of her etsy shop.
Hope you all have a lovely week.

ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with those spice jars Nellie. They look really fabulous, making me wish I hadn't thrown out some just like it a gazillion years ago!!
ReplyDeleteYour spice jars look FABULOUS Nellie, I love them!! You clever lady. Hope you have a great week. ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those jars Nellie - you've done a wonderful job transforming them. Hope Nicholas enjoys his holidays and that you have a great week x
ReplyDeleteWow, they look sooooooo gorgeous painted white, you're so clever! I think I probaby would have just over looked them due to the colour but you're so clever Nellie! I hope Nicholas has a good week at work with you. I'm sure he'll enjoy the chill out time as I know my niece and nephew are a bit over it and tired now and would be wishing they were on holidays this week already. Enjoy your day,

ReplyDelete:) Flick
Wow!!! Those jars are amazing - I wish I had the thrifty-renovational genes!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! you did a great job on your makeover...it looks just like anthropologie's!
ReplyDeleteHi lovely Nellie,
ReplyDeletethankyou so much for that mention again; you are so very sweet! Your jars look amazing! I love how the detail really stands out when it is painted white, but you could hardly see it before. You are so lucky that your work allows you to bring your son with you. Its a pity that more workplaces werent like that too.. I have been painting my mums place over the past week, but I have started on your cushion, I didnt want it to take so long at all.
Hugs to you nellie, have a great tuesday!
Lauraxxx
