  1. Hi Rachel,
    Your Spring vignette is lovely. I love to incorporate gifts from nature in my decor, so your greenery mixed in with the brown books are spot on for Spring.
    Thanks for the inspiration,

  2. Very pretty! I love the thought that goes into a vignette. So fun! I found you at the DIY Dreamer.

  3. What a lovely spring vignette! I am working on painting mason jars myself right now. My spring mantel is all done up with bunnies, eggs, birds and a torn rag garland. Visiting from the Love of Family & Home blog hop. Have a great day! ~ Jamie

    1. That sounds wonderful, Jamie! I’m so glad you came by, and I hope you enjoy your painted mason jars as much as I have! 🙂

  9. Beautiful! What brand and colors did you use for this project? I love the darkest of all 3 mason jars, kind of a gray blue?
    Thanks!

    1. Thank you! It’s been a few years, but I think it was Country Chic paint. The gray ones I think are pebble beach, and I am guessing the white is their Simplicity. I hope this helps!
