Bonne Maman L♥ve

Here's a Bonne Maman jam jar that I put to new use thanks to a kit bought from Bois Joli (just added a few personal touches to it, like the initial on top). It was fast and easy to do, and it's so useful, too. It's nice to be able to see the ribbons and trims inside and yet they're protected from dust (which, much to my chagrin, we seem to have a lot of around here).

Voici un pot Bonne Maman que j'ai transformé grâce à un kit de Bois Joli (j'ai juste rajouté quelques touches personnelles, comme l'initiale sur le dessus). C'était rapide et facile à faire, et en plus c'est pratique. Les rubans et les galons restent visibles mais en même temps ils sont protégés de la poussière (qui, à mon grand regret, est en quantité non négligeable par ici).

  1. Bonjour! Je aime Bon Maman cherry jam! Okay so I don't remember the French words for cherry jam. Very cute idea and execution for the ribbon jar! I just use mine for water glasses. I like what you did better! :)

  12. Thanks so much for a wonderful blog. I have just now found you, and absolutely love the tape with the letters. Is this something that can be purchased now, or is this vintage as well?
