Travel jars


These are simply jars with little bits from different places we have been. Close or far from home. My jars are from Michael's, 3 of the 4 sides are plain.





This one is from Fernandina Beach, FL.

Bald Mountain State Park, MI.




Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island GA.





They currently live on the shelves in our dining room. They have changed a bit since we first moved, so I snapped a quick picture. Here they are right now. Yes someday I will put a picture in that frame.



I do still have a few bags of goodies from the past year that are in need of jars.
