"BOO!!" Apothecary Jars



When we saw the fall apothecary jars over at Shanty 2 Chic , we were inspired to create our own! Ours turned out just too cute!



We love the traditional colors and prints of halloween, so the black and white gingham ribbons were simply the right touch! The pop of color from the candy corns ( a favorite of one of us!!) just really sets off our "BOO" letters. There are so many possibilities with these....filled with fall items,Thanksgiving dinner table, Christmas with peppermints, even New Year's!! Hmmm...you might just see another post or two with these in it throughout the holidays...and the next year!!

{UPDATE!} Our "JOY" Apothecary Jars for Christmas can be viewed here!! And our "Give Thanks" Fall Apothecary Jars can be viewed here!!

  50. Just curious to know why you refer to them as "apothecary"? I thought apothecary was the old fashioned name for a pharmacist but I see a lot of glass objects everywhere named apothecary. Thnaks for any feedback
