Jar Number 9

Jar Number 9 

Walking around Stoke Gifford in almost every garden is a Whitebeam tree. They produce beautiful white flowers in the spring and for some reason the red berries they produce in late summer have come out early this year. The place is covered in them. So on a jar walk a few weeks back I picked a twig and it has been drying on my window sill. Now dried it looks a little like a miniature tree and I just had to make a jar with it. 

It was hard to do a up close photo as my camera was refusing to focus properly. This doesn't do it justice, it's much nicer in real life.

It took two tries to place this jar in the end as there are so many kids out on holiday. The place is packed so it was hard to find a quiet moment to place number 9.

 You may have noticed the blog has been given a make-over. I am still trying to get a theme I like. I'm not sure of this one so I'm test running it.

Happy Hunting! 

Jar Found

Jar Found 

A eagle eyed Lin found Jar Number 8 (the jelly jar) just this morning while walking her dog. It caught her her eye and on her way home she stopped to investigate. It is now sitting in her kitchen, Well done for spotting it Lin, I'm very glad to have it found before it went all grose hehee.
Welcome to the family of found Jars, I hope you enjoy it :o)

The Jelly Jar 

 

This Jar was a week in the making but it was the first jar I ever thought of. Who doesn't love Jelly and a rainbow for that matter. Made from Lime, Raspberry, Lemon, Strawberry, Blackcurrant and Orange. Just buying the Jelly alone was great fun.

Contents: Multi flavoured Jelly

So a day late, 2 scrapped knees and rather muddy shorts, The Jelly Jar has been placed. I wanted to find somewhere out of the sun. Which today of all days is a hard feet. I finally found a cool place, where I hope it won't deteriorate to fast. Fingers crossed someone will find it soon though.  
Whether you eat it or keep it I hope whoever finds it has fun with it. 

Happy Hunting! 

Jar Number 7

Jar Number 7

Number 7 has no story in it's forming. Only that I was playing around with some cross stitching and this pattern started to emerge. I was quite taken with it and so this jar was formed.

The jar did go on a little outing though, it was lucky enough to accompany me to see the new Harry Potter movie. The first time I have ever seen a movie on the day it comes out. The long awaited last Potter movie, is, in short.....not to bad. 
It is the best Potter movie so far that is for sure. I went to see it with a good friend of mine. We sat giggling and squealing in the cinema (a little over excited). A good time was had and this jar is now a proud Hogwarts student.

Jar Number 6

Jar Number 6 

OK so 6 weeks into this project and I'm already a bit behind. I aim to do better, each jar does have a week to go out but I was aiming to put one out each Friday. Due to life that hasn't been possible but fingers crossed it will be now.

This jar is slightly dedicated to my Nan, in her garden there used to be a honesty plant. I was fascinated as a kid with the seed pods, and would spend hours sat on a step pealing the seeds out of the pod and collecting them in jars.

Status: found by Earlfez on the 31st July

The contents of this jar comes from a photo I took just over a year ago. The frozen weather kicked in and out came the camera.

The jar itself went on a bit of a jaunt, it came on a family outing to see a Mark Watson DVD recording. The plan was to set it wild after the show, but it turns out there aren't many jar sights around The Hippodrome. So it came back with us and went out today instead.
