O Canning Jar


I have a *thing* for canning jars, I just love them! Interestingly, one of my dad's anscestors was the founder of Ball Canning Jars! I love that! Anyone else have a favorite use for this most versatile and wonderful of kitchen and home accessories?!

O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
You look so lovely filled with fruit,
With budding flowers, soil, and root.
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!

O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
When filled with glowing candle light,
with jams and jelly such delight!
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!

O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!
When filled with goodies for a gift,
Or simply on a shelf you sit.
O Canning Jar, O Canning Jar
How varied are thy uses!

So nice to know that I am not the only one who is into canning jars...used old canning jars as vases full tulips, lilacs, lily of the valley, daisies and other spring flowers at my wedding...
