Summer Decor: The Starfish & Jute Mason Jar

Simple Summer Party Decorating Idea

Remember my trusty and most often used party decoration? Of course you do. Yep, it is the humble yet oh so versatile mason jar. Here she is for summer 2011, this time all dolled up in her summer evening wear, a beautiful starfish and jute ensemble.

Wrap some jute around the mouth of the jar, tie on a pretty little starfish and you are good to go! Put a little Epsom Salt in the jar, add a small candle, and you are ready for summer parties, weddings, BBQs or even quiet evenings at home.

Sharing simple, no fuss decorating ideas, one blog post at a time.

You are welcome.
