Since we are almost halfway through March, it was becoming embarrassing for us to still have our Valentine's themed candy in the apothecary jars on our coffee table. For most holidays, filling the jars with appropriately themed candy is the extent of the decorating that Chris will allow me to do- you can see some previous variations on our apothecary jars here and here.
I absolutely love candy so when I shop for sweets to fill the jars I always look for something that looks pretty, but doesn't actually taste good to me so that the candy actually lasts throughout that holiday. Luckily for me, Peeps, the holy grail of Easter Candy is pretty much my least favorite sweet ever. For the other two jars, I picked up some "robin's egg" malt balls and mini pastel plastic Easter eggs- all of which I found at our local Rite Aid.
holy gorgeous floral leftovers from your shower! and love the apothecary too :)
ReplyDeletecute, especially the easter peeps!! i use holiday candy in my hurricane candle & easter usually means jelly beans but i'm going to try the peeps.

ReplyDeleteHi Kristina,
ReplyDeleteThe jars are form a variety of sources. The short one is from Michael's Craft store and the other two are from Tommy's Vase land in the downtown LA flower mart, but I believe they ship anywhere! http://www.tommysflowerland.com/
You can also find jars like these at Home Goods!
Good luck.
