Collected

Several weeks ago I received this large jar that I ordered from Antique Farmhouse or Decor Steals, I can't remember.  I was hoping it would come with the greenish and white worn lid that was shown on the site, but I got the rusted lid instead. That's okay it still works in the great room on the drop leaf table.

After I got the jar I wasn't real sure what I was going to do with it. I changed up the vignette on the drop leaf table so I could use it there and just started sticking some things I have collected in it that would fit.

Over many days and walking by it I would think of something else to add. I added this old key, that came with a gift from a friend, to the top of the books.

I placed a vintage shoe form in that I had put away in a drawer. Then after I took apart the summer items stuck in the urns on the mantel I placed the black sea fan in. The little round mushroom looking thing is from the base of a tree in our yard.

Then last week I received a piece of sheet music in another package with something I bought from French Larkspur which I will share soon. I rolled it up and stuck it in the jar. Then Mr. Savvy had collected some rocks on the beach in Rhode Island last week that we stopped and walked on. It was so nice to smell the salty beach air. I told him I would add the rocks to this jar.

While changing things up on this table I added this cute little squirrel salt and pepper shaker set from Pottery Barn given to me for my birthday last month by my daughter.

I thought this would be a cute touch of fall on this table.

Now, when I walk by I can see the things I have collected.

Do you have collections stored in a jar?
