I'm in the mood for fall (it's practically September) and i couldn't pass up this heavy pumpkin shaped jar. no way, no how. 6 dollars. More than i normally spend, but this guy is big and heavy, and holds all sorts of decorative possibilities. However, if it wasn't for him, i would have hit the 6 dollar mark yet again. i know. weird.
Again with the planters. This one reminds me of an artichoke or something. $3.00, good size, perfect condition. Already white. check!
Yes, yes, i was that excited to arrange them in threes that i didn't take off the tags or the tape! The one on the left i had, but the little guy was a quarter and the tall one was $3.00.
I'm not sure how i feel about this, what do you think? i think without.
Temporary living quarters til they make their appearance stuffed with acorns and pinecones and leaves. Can not wait!

Wow, great apothecary jars!! You did good!!
Great find! Love the apothecary jars. You can never have to many. I like to put small shells in them in the summer and I found some tiny pumpkins at Hobby Lobby for fall.
Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Love the pumpkin glass jar. you're right- so many possibilities.
Thanks for seeking me out.
Blogger has been giving me difficulty commenting for a couple weeks. Can't get rid of me that easily!
You got a great deal on your apothecary jars! We just bought one at Michaels 40% off and still paid $7.50!!!
Crowds of shoppers seem to bring out the competitive side of me too :) You will be able to use your apothecary jars so many ways! Love the pumpkin!

I'm so jealous of your finds, especially because that is what I was looking for on my last trip to Goodwill. I didn't find any :(
Maybe next time!
Jars like that never go out of style. You will use them for years to come and a that price, wow.

Love the pumpkin and the jars. They are so neat you can fill them with so much. I like them on the pedistals too, maybe you could just use some tacky adhesive so it won't be permadent and then you can change them up. Visiting from NTT.

Great finds. I love them with the glass bases, gives them such an elegant look, but makes them a bit more fragile too, I guess. Have fun decorating with them.
Love all the little jars! Very cute on the candle holders! But that planter is fantastic!
You found great stuff -- so nice to see them. Thanks for stopping by. Jane F.
Love them. Great find. Thanks for sharing.
Love love LOVE the white piece!

I love the apothecary jars! I really need to start keeping my eyes out for some too.
I, like you, LOVE fall and can't wait! I envision filling jars with wonderful fall-y items. :)
I vote for adhering them to the candlesticks...the items inside show off much better when they are raised. these have cute shapes to them - good find!!
I wish I could find jars at my goodwills, ive only ever found one! I also like them without the candle sticks.
I just bought the exact same small apothecary jar from a resale/antique store for $3! I thought it was a pretty good price (considering on Etsy they are at least $10!)! Dang .25! What a steal! :D
Nice buys! I like them grouped together,
Great finds. I found a pumpkin jar just like yours a few months ago. Can't remember what I paid for it but I was just so excited about it, I knew I had to get it. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.
Such great deals on the apothecary jars...thanks for coming to my PARTY!
Blessings,
Linda
You made a great find on those apothecary jars. You were lucky that all those other people were not after the same thing. Love the grouping of them. They make more of a statement when they are grouped like that.
Loves em....you can have so much fun with those come the holidays too...I fill mine with treats, ornaments, pine cones...just have fun you have a great new collection. Thanks for joining in on the party. Debbie
Great finds! I love those containers you found and you're lucky to find a few that go together! They're going to be so cute to fill for different holidays and seasons.
you scored big time!!! I need some of those jars!
I love apothecaries!!! I like the larger one on the pedestal and the smaller one off! :-) You have some great finds! I posted my thrify finds on my blog today as well. Please stop by when you have a minuteI'm doing a giveaway for a $45 CSn GC as well!

They look good.
I also have a few jars like these and I change out the content for the season. Summer gets things beach like. Winter gets more pine stuff. Christmas time gets christmas tree ornaments because my cats destroy the tree every year.
I also like to use them in my craft area to hold odds and ends. Seems like they just look better in glass.
I always, always buy cute little jars when I see them. And I love that pumpkin. That just reminded me that I bought a pumpkin jar on my last thrifting trip. Where oh where did I put it? Haha.
Love those jars! Great finds! I have to start looking for mine {I put some away over the Summer} because you're right, Fall is the time to fill these babies with acorns {or candy corn} and I know I have vase filler in bags somewhere, too. If I don't start looking now, I'll never find them!
Great finds!
