I use them for bacon grease and used oil. Isn’t that what everyone uses them for?

I think this is the best way to store some stuff. It’s so pretty! Instead of keeping your ugly cereal boxes on the refrigerator, put them in glass jars! It’s very tasteful and a bit elegant too. I have a ton of counter space in my kitchen so it’s nice to decorate like this. You get the most compliments!

I like the buttons idea, it’s a cute way to store them, and still be able to see what you’ve got.

Let’s simplify this to:
1. Store things in them
2. Plant flowers in them

I have a change jar. I hardly ever dip into it because I think it’s kind of pretty, but it’s nice to not have pennies and dimes laying around on the floor.
@colormysky27@xanga - That’s kind of what I thought. Good ideas, but redundant.

I can narrow this down for you.
