Wishlist: Summer Yummies

Summer has definitely hit NorCal - it's been in the 90's all weekend, and will continue throughout the week. As much as I love the sun and warmth, sometimes it gets too hot to bear. Of course, cool treats do wonders when the sun is too much.

I have way too man Mason jars. I love them, I hoard them, I use them. And I'm always looking for new ideas to decorate my jars or find another excuse to buy some more.
Picture
Mason jars are perfect for storing spices and rice.
Picture
A different way to label the jars for easier access in cupboards.
Picture
In bathrooms, the jars could store anything from cotton balls to makeup brushes.
Picture
Any quote or label could be easily frosted on.
Picture
Tinted frost paint would look cute on its own.
