Today I have two treasures to share with you. First up is the Ball Jar, found while browsing antique stores in Prescott, AZ with three of my blogging friends: Melinda, Terri, and Barbara.
It was Terri who alerted us to the jars. She collects them and even knows the dates they were manufactured according to the typeface used for the logo. I figure this one was made sometime between 1910 – 1923.
Second up is the hydrangea. It was so dreamy I couldn’t decide whether I liked it in the Ball jar, or just a plain old white vase, so I went crazy and posted both versions today.
Tomorrow I’ll be posting my Waterlogue version and what I did to get the results I wanted.
BTW, don’t forget that “app” happy wednesday is tomorrow and I really hope to see you there! It’s a fun place to share your photos edited with apps and maybe learn a few tips and tricks from fellow bloggers.
Check it out here: “app” happy wednesday.
Have a wonderful day!

Oh! I’m just soaking in the beauty here Barb!! Each one is just a dream….
Beauties both of them Barb and I could see how you couldn’t decide.
Love, love, love your photos….hydrangeas are the perfect flower, so beautiful !
So so beautiful! The pale hydrangea looks great in both the vase and jar, but my favorite is always the mason jar.
I love soft and dreamy photos and you made it impossible to pick just one, love them all!
I love the soft beauty of these photos. And the old Ball jars? How cool is that? :)
Gorgeous so subtle and dreamy like a painting..
That color of the hydrangea’s is the prettiest I’ve seen in a long time. Very dreamy. And who doesn’t need Ball jars in the collection of photo props!? Happy Tuesday Barb!
Dreamy is a perfect word….lovely….too!
lovely! i know that the ball jar collectors are very avid!
Love the hydrangea in the blue canning jar best, but either way the photos are truly dreamy as said by so many!
Absolutely gorgeous, Barb.
The color of that hydrangea is amazing.
Happy day to you!
Oh Barb, what a lovely soft image! I never thought to use one of my Ball jars (great find for you!). I have several of those too.
Always inspired by your images,
Each one of these shots is just gorgeous Barb, but I think my favorite is the first. Love that ball jar, it is very special. I don’t really know much about their antique value, but do love the look of it, and bought my self a ball jar a year ago during one of Kim’s classes. Great shots
Wow, so soft and dreamy, Barb !
Love them both in the lovely jar and white vase …
what a pretty Hydrangea … I so love the soft blue tones !
Nice week,
Sylvia
Absolutely lovely!!
Ahhhh! {{ Hydrangea Love }} I have it, too. Both vases are lovely but I’ve got this thing right now for mason jars, especially blue ones. The contrast is so nice with those lovely hydrangea blossoms.
Oh, they’re all lovely!! I do prefer the jar, just because, like Terri, I’m in love with them!! I can’t wait for my Mom’s hydrangeas to bloom, probably another month!
You have a breath taking light in these pictures so dreamy and soft . The first one in my favorite !
Hydrangeas and ball jars are such a winning combination. Can’t wait to see how you “waterlogued” it!
so incredibly light with just a hint of color…fabulous!
oh my goodness barb! these blooms are so creamy and white. beautiful with the bell jar and vase! lovely softness in your processing too. just dreamy.
Oh, these are so soft and dreamy! I love hydrangeas. The softness of these is wonderful. I like the Ball jar and the white vase, I think equally. That Ball jar is a fun find!
Luscious is the first word that came to mind when I saw these gorgeous photos! I could never choose between the Ball jar or the white vase either:)
Wonderful wonderful soft images!
Really love them all ♥♥♥
All just wonderful. Beautiful colors.
I have a few of those jars. Use to have some with the lid with the wire anchor, but those sadly went by the wayside when my son decided to clean some things out of the garage. Love the idea of putting the flowers in them. Very nice, and I love hydrangeas. Not familiar with the waterlogue app…will need to check that out. :)
These are all so beautiful! Glad to see the Mason jar featured- I’ve got 3 now, which I think are enough (unless I find one of the really old ones. . .). These edits are all lovely- frameworthy! You are inspiring me to go find some hydrangeas!
Gorgeous images! I love the flowers and all that beautiful light!
Oh, it’s hard to decide which one I like better, the Ball jar or the white vase. I think I tend a little bit more to the Ball jar. I love the dream-like quality of your photos.
Absolutely gorgeous , I just love the softness.. One of my fav flowers. The processing is amazing.
Oh my!
One sigh after the other …. such beautiful shots!
Oh Barb those images are fabulous. I am so envious of both treasures.
Our hydrangeas won’t be in bloom for many weeks yet…..mine are all deep blue and purple; now I crave some delicate baby blues……
They’re all lovely but that second one is truly delicious!
