Remember this mason jar jar set I created years ago?
I shared how I made the shamrocks on this post.
I shared how I made the Irish flags on this post.
I shared how they all look together on this post.
And I currently sell this set at my Etsy shop at this link.
So image my surprise when I do a little St. Patrick mason jar Google search looking for St. Pat’s mason jar project ideas to share with you here and this pops up …
What?
Hmmm …
Looks familiar, amiright?
Sigh.
Now, I get it. It happens all the time. I’ve walked into Michael’s in the past to see one of my mason jar Etsy shop creation recreated and sold there.
And I get it. We all get inspiration from others.
Only thing …
when I get inspiration from others I work really hard to make it my own.
Not an exact duplicate with the jars in the exact same position!
And if you look closely at the green jar on the flag and the green jar I created, the shamrocks are in the exact same position!
Sigh.
They did mix up the flowers. And added a bow. But it strikes me as funny that they included some straws too. Lol. So unnecessary for a garden flag.
Nothing to do but laugh it off. Especially since the garden flag is retailing for like $2.75. I don’t think they’re using my design idea as a get rich scheme.
