Sometimes I buy junktique odds & ends by the box. Sometimes I buy jars off eBay and they arrive smashed. Most eBay sellers are ignorant to the concept of bubble wrap. But I always seem to end up with extra lids for jars of all sorts. Repurposing is good, finding a new way to use something old keeps our landfills a little cleaner and our minds creatively innovative.

These would be lovely if you cut a piece of foam board to fit in the lid and added a photograph (so the photo was not 1/2" deep in the lid)

Hi. I just found your blog when you bought some jar lids from my husband on ebay. He told me about your art work. How pretty. I keep wanting to learn to paint but never have. These are so sweet and so are your daughters items. You must be very proud of her entreprenur spirit.
