Since becoming a prolific canner of strawberry jam and cucumbers over the past couple of years, I've amassed quite a stash of mason jars. A couple of months ago I stumbled upon The Ribbon Jar, a shop that sells all sorts of pretty ribbons and trims. And best of all, they package their pretties in mason jars! Super cute, right?
I was inspired to adapt this idea for my business. I'm setting up my Retro Revival tent at the Great American Pie Festival this weekend. It's my favorite show ~ swarming with happy people eating from the "Never Ending Pie Buffet" and shopping aprons and other beautifully made products, including organic soap and spa goodies from my friend Paula Parrish.
For the Pie Festival, I'm rolling up some of my aprons into mason jars and attaching my yummy pie recipies:
My Retro Revival sticker, that I normally use in packaging my products, fits perfectly on the jar lids:
Thinking I may display them on, in, or along side my vintage picnic hamper:
I adore how they look! Hoping my customers will too!

Hello Cindy,
What an awesome and useful packaging idea. I know that I would love to buy an apron and receive a mason jar for Free. Love It!
Smiles, Paula
Cute idea but I would miss getting a full view of your apron. Hugs
That is brilliant! I would so be more tempted to buy it in a jar! LOL!

I have decided i want to come and watch you set up. As long as you wear an apron. This looks like vintage candy to me...beautiful...smiles...Renee
That is the cutest idea I've seen in forever! Good luck at the festival this weekend!
That is such a fun idea...I cannot get enough jars and boxes. I think I am entranced by the possibilities of what they might contain. Who'da thought of aprons?
What a wonderful idea! I love canning jars and an apron in it would be a perfect gift especially for Mother's Day.

Hi Cindy! Now that I've seen your shop, so I can choose what I want and you have me here in Brazil, is not it? Cool!

What an adorable idea! I am sure your mason jar aprons will be a huge hit! Thanks for your comments on my little blog :)
What a cute idea! The Great American Pie Festival sounds like great fun.
I absolutely love the idea of the apron in the jar and the recipe outside! You rock!
What cute packaging! And aprons! My daughter is getting married and has a vintage theme with lots of Mason jars being used. This is perfect for her!
I think this is a great idea. If possible, you could have a sketch or photo of the apron on the tag so everyone knows what it looks like.
Love your pot mitts too and displaying them in a pot is perfect.
Good luck with your show!
I just love your mason jar idea. What fun a pie festival sounds like so much fun.
