I bought these 3 small glass jars from the dollar store-- probably at least 3 or 4 years ago
They have come to represent the changing seasons and holidays as I fill them with different candies
Right now there are brightly colored jelly beans in them - last year the jelly beans were light pastel colors- they are replacing the conversation hearts from Valentine's day
Next year I might try and find some cute St. Patrick's day candies-- I thought this year about filling them with lucky charms!
At Christmas they have held chocolate balls- peppermints- or other holiday treats
Fall brings on the candy corn of course
Soon the jelly beans will be tossed and darling little gummy watermelon slices will adorn the cute containers
It's a little thing for sure but an enjoyable one for me
Every once in a while they are even tasted but mostly they're just there reminding us of the sweetness each season brings
Great choices. Keep the jelly beans, though. They can go with every season.
ReplyDeleteBut then I wouldn't have the fun of changing them up -- thanks Susan 😍
DeleteDelightful post! I need delightful right now --and usually. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad I could help! Thanks 😊
DeleteWhat a nice idea! That would be an awful temptation not to eat them all, though! Especially for my husband! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm always surprised when I go to change them out- they're almost all still There -- only ones that get sampled pretty well are the gummy watermelon slices 😊
DeleteThat's a cute idea! So colorful too with each season! We have a glass sleigh that we bring out at Christmas and fill with either peanut M&M's or other delights but since hubby and me lost the weight we did last year, we didn't get it out last year and didn't really miss it. Having temptation around in those jars, especially if I liked the candy, would be hard to resist :)

Yeah most of it doesn't tempt me- now if those peanut m&ms were in there Frank would not resist🤣
DeleteI love that but wouldn't have been able to resist munching on them. LOL! But I love the jars....
