Topped off with some green and white baker’s twine. The gold shamrock jar would be a perfect pot of gold filled with some gold candy […]

Inside-Out Painted Jars
I’m often asked about what color I use to paint the insides of my painted and distressed mason jars. Ummmm … none. I can see why people ask when I look at the photographs. Because the distressed spots look so dark. Like I painted the insides black. But I don’t. It just looks […]
