You know what I like? Organizing things, and old things, and cute things. Thus: Mason Jars! I love buying old mason jars (and new ones!) for keeping stuff in. Here is a photo collage of some old and new mason jars that are literally all over my house and all the things I've put in them. My favorites were the blue ones that my sister found at an antique for $5/each. A little pricey but totally worth it. Do not forget my mason jar lights - which are the most awesome things I think I've ever created. I hope we can again someday live in a lofty space that would require one of these lights.

Mason jars for baby things and pretty things and practical things...
How do YOU use your mason jars?
I use mason jars to store my dry bulk foods like rice, quinoa, beans, and lentils! http://www.meghanmccabe.com/2011/11/mini-pantry-project.html
