Glass Bell Jars

I am only slowly settling into a routine after our holiday. It was great coming home to our house and seeing everything with a fresh eye - do you get that after you've been away? Summer is usually a time where I spend a little less time decorating/re-arrange my home as I prefer to be outdoors. That said, I still like adding a few bits and pieces every now and then to keep things interesting.

On our holiday I spotted a beautiful bell jar but was too scared to bring it back as it would probably not have survived my husbands vigorous attempts to squeeze everything back into the car AND I was a little unsure as to whether it would be an impulse purchase that I might later regret. Now that I've had a look at some inspirational images on the many great ways to use bell jars I am determined to get one - so the new hunt begins.

What do you think, do you like them and do you perhaps own one already?
How do you prefer to use it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Tschüss...
