A Fun Fall Find
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m all about easy, beautiful ways to bring the garden indoors—especially when it involves zinnias! Today is all about my latest fun Fall find! when I stumbled across this adorable glass-lidded pumpkin jar by Anchor Hocking, I knew I had to do something fun with it. After all, what’s more “fall” than pumpkins?
But instead of filling it with candy or treats (though, don’t get me wrong, that’s also a great idea), I decided to use it as a vase. Yes, you heard me—a vase! I filled the pumpkin jar with water and floated my favorite zinnia blooms right on top.
