Very pretty, Heather! Love all of the inspiration!
Thanks Jessica!
Great ideas!
If you’re using acorns as vase filler, I recommend drying them in the oven first, and spraying with a clear adhesive. I wrote about this on my blog last month: http://smallhomebigstart.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-dry-acorns-for-fall-crafts.html
Thanks for the tip Amanda!
So pretty. I found you through Twitter, but would love to have you join my weekly link party – Seasonal Sundays.

Thanks Hilani – aren’t apothecary jars such a fun way to decorate?
Perfect timing Heather! I just picked up two apothecary jars at the thrift store this afternoon!
Lucky you! I’m jealous! I have never been so lucky as to see apothecary jars, but I have scored stoneware and milkglass! Have fun decorating with them Colleen 😀
Great inspiration. I have jars everywhere and need to get on the ball for Fall!
Fill’em up Holly! YOu are so lucky to have lots of jars!
I like the nuts, seeds, and ribbon idea. I DO NOT like the sculls! Ick! Kennedy would love that! 🙂
I’m with you Courtenay – I like the prettier stuff too 🙂

Wow, great inspiration! That scull is the creepiest!

These are so fun! I love apothecary jars. I keep my coffee kcups in a big one in the kitchen!
Thanks for linking up to the All Star Block Party girl!
I didn’t see this before I decided to just do apothecary jars on my mantel and change out the contents each month. (a full-time job 10 months/year means keeping it simple!) These are great!
Gorgeous Heather! Thanks for the great Fall inspiration!

Thanks Kristin!
Happily featuring your pumpkin filled apothecary jar on my blog tomorrow, Sept 30th. I hope you have a minute to hop on over 🙂
I have tried displaying mini pumpkins and gourds in apothecary jars with the lid but they dont get air and soon they begin to mold and rot. Do you clear coat them first or what do you do to preserve them?
Hi Sarah – the pumpkins I use are faux pumpkins….I think there is a way to preserve pumpkins with a bleach/soap/water cleaning….maybe google that and see if you find any tips to help you. I would think adding a coat of matte varnish would work too!
You always have the best ideas, love your creativity.
Hi Heather! I don’t know when this was posted, I just found it on Pinterest and I HAD to say, THANK YOU! This year, I was fresh out of ideas for filling my fall apothecary jars and large glass cylinders. Thanks to you, I now have to decide which ones are my favorite – a delightful dilemma!
Our 5 grandsons, all under 11 years old, will think Glamma is the coolest ever when they see the snakes and spiders under glass! What fun that will be for me. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beautiful compliments Judy!! I LOVE that your grandbabies call you Glamma!!!! Yes they will really love the snakes and spides apothecary jar! Have fun making them and thank you so much for visiting my blog! xo Heather
