I put these jars in my Master Bath where they go perfectly.

Closeup of the larger jar. She put polished rocks, moss and paperwhites in it. The outside has a square of etching and then a rusty No. 2. She added the ribbon and rusty key as added embellishments. Lovely . . .

What hostess wouldn't want to have this as a gift! And to be personally hand done makes it extra special. Thanks, Gretchen! It's absolutely wonderful!

I was checking them today, and I'm not so sure. I was like, "Grow @%#&* Grow"! (Not really but I sure felt like it). Have a great time in Florida and don't think of us here in the freezing cold!

This looks really nice. I bet it looks fabulous in your
bathroom. Man, that scale sure gets changed out a lot. Love
it. Gretchen did an awesome job on your gift. The green moss goes so well with your color scheme this year.

I knew the embellishments had to be rusty for you. : ) Love your rust and industrial you have in your home.
Glad you liked this project. Enjoyed your party. You are a great hostess with the mostess.
