When is a jar not a jar...




A Jar is defined as a wide-mouthed, cylindrical container made of glass or pottery, especially one used for storing food...
But a single flower or a grouping of buds and blooms are all the more beautiful when placed in a simple every day jar.  
It may be an empty vegemite jar, or a jam jar, even an old lemonade glass bottle which gently holds and supports the sweet bloom. 

Of late jars and soft drink bottles have been popping up every where being engaged as vases, like my friend Fran, 
who assembled jars and old glass medicine bottles and placed just a single bud or stem in each one.  
The effect was beautiful as seen on page 1. 

Alternatively the inventive and beautiful mobile hanging floral tributes just like this one found at Orto Trading Co. 38 Waterloo Street, Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia 
engage old soft drink bottles to create a focus to the cafe.  

Moral of the story...don't throw a glass jar out just because it is empty, 
fill it up with something else, like a flower and enjoy it some more.  Shift a little.
