Last week I wrote about the new blue Heritage collection jars from Ball brand canning products. After I published the post, a representative from Ball contacted me and asked if I'd like to give a case of these jars to one of my readers.
Would I ever! I knew y'all would love a chance to win a case of these jars.
These new blue jars are a little different color from the vintage jars, but they're just beautiful. The Ball Canning Company, manufacturers of the "Perfect Mason" jars for decades, used vintage jars as the inspiration for this lovely new product. Vintage jars are becoming hard to find, but now anyone can have these vintage-inspired jars in perfect condition!
Here's how one of the new jars compares to a vintage jar:
I'm really enjoying using these jars as casual vases for my cut flowers.
See how pretty the clear blue glass is?
You can check out Ball Canning on Pinterest for lots of great ideas using these gorgeous Heritage Collection jars.
And thanks to Ball Canning, one of you can now win a case of six jars for yourself!
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post telling me how you'd like to use the jars. That's all there is to it! If you'd like an extra chance to win, like Imparting Grace on Facebook, then come back here and leave a second comment to let me know about it. The giveaway will end at 9:00 A.M. Eastern on Monday, July 1. I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner, and the Ball Company will send a case of jars directly to the winner!
I would love to use them for flowers and decoration!
ReplyDeleteI would love these! I would use them to store my grains, right now I have them in plastic and I'm trying to rid our house of plastic.
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteI have some of the vintage blue jars. I use them for canisters. I put beans, macaroni, etc in them. They look pretty in my cabinets especially when I open my cabinet doors when I have guests in my kitchen. I would love to have more because I don't have enough!
ReplyDeleteWe would use them as drinking glasses! I think they would be right at home here at the new farmhouse! They match my pantry door perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook! Like you a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many uses--vases, glasses, candle holders, in the craft room to hold all the little things and so much more...
ReplyDeleteI Like Imparting Grace on FB...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could narrow down a use for them... vase, organizer, kitchen accent piece. It's so hard to decide how I would use them.
ReplyDeletefirst of all I already like you on FB but wish there was a love button!
ReplyDeleteIve slowly been adding some colour into my decor and I've chosen the beautiful blues that we are seeing now. I could really do so much with these..love the vase idea. Oh pick me please!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Richella. I have one blue vintage one left from my Grandmother. I use them to store liquids in and would probably do the same with new ones! I love Ball canning jars and I believe they are made here in Boulder. AT least they used to be. A guy at our church was head of that division several years ago. Love your lovely blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove these blue jars! Perfect for a handful of wild flowers!
ReplyDeleteI have a set right now so it seems selfish to want another BUT I am using them like crazy. Right now there are two filled with fresh flowers and the others are drinking glasses around the house.
ReplyDeleteBecause there are only 6 in a set, I'd love another to use for dry goods in my pantry. So pretty!
And of course I follow you on Facebook. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese would be great for a vintage touch anywhere----daisies in the kitchen, for a child's rock collection, with seashells in the middle of a modern room, with straws and silver wear on the screen porch for a meal---- love them!
ReplyDeleteLori
Beautiful; I love the blue, Richella! They look so good with hydrangeas, too. I'd actually love to make some homemade iced tea and use these to drink it out of.
ReplyDeleteI would use them for flowers and possibly for canning tomatoes. Wouldn't home grown tomatoes look great in these jars?
ReplyDeleteI liked you on FB!
ReplyDeleteI would use these jars for really fabulous pantry storage.
I would use these jars for fun drinking glasses!
ReplyDeleteI would use some of these jars for gifts, filling with packets of dried herbs and seasonings, flowers or homemade pickles - - with the ones I keep for me, I would fill with flowers, teabags and cotton balls :-)
ReplyDeleteI know my plan isn't original but I would probably use half of the jars for flowers (my hydrangeas are blooming!!) and the other half for lanterns for hanging in the tree. But then again, I'm going to have a lot of tomatoes this summer so maybe I'd use them to can.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for this opportunity, Richella!!
I'd use them for holding silverware when serving a crowd. They'd be gorgeous and fun on the serving table. Thanks for what you do!
ReplyDeleteI would use them to serve, decorate and admire
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked you on fb
DeleteI have been wanting some of those! Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteLove the Heritage jars and plan on using them for luminaries on my deck. Light up the night!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richella, for making this opportunity possible. Love the blog and love the jars!

ReplyDeleteI would use them in my craft room. I think they would add that perfect touch of color. I would also use them for flowers, as they make a wonderful vase.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win! I just used a set of clear mason jars filled with flowers this weekend for a church dinner. They are so fun to decorate with and I love the vintage feel.
ReplyDeleteI love these blue jars! They would look beautiful on display through my glass kitchen cupboards. I would use them for flowers too!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have these beautiful jars....Marti

These jars remind me of my best friend who passed away last summer. She had some of the old ones and used them for flowers and I would do the same and think of her!
ReplyDeleteI would use these jars for everything from drinking to displaying flowers. What a great give-away!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo I liked Imparting Grace on Facebook. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI,too, would use them for flowers. They would look pretty on a buffet table and placed around the house for a party.
ReplyDeleteI would use them for flowers just like you did. Just beautiful!

I would use them for a variety of things...would love to use them for fresh cut flowers, lantern, put flatware in it for parties, soap dispenser and make into a oil burner light and the list goes on. Thanks for the chance to win! I enjoy receiving your emails.
ReplyDeleteI just love the vintage ones, but the new ones are gorgeous too! I would love to put flowers in them like you did and maybe turn one into a soap dispenser for my bathroom. It's the perfect blue for the room.

I like putting fresh flowers in them but I also like storing things in my pantry in them. They brighten my day just seeing them :)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Ball jars. I use them everywhere to organize. I would love to win this set.
ReplyDeleteI think I would copy you and fill them with flowers! But maybe I'd use one in the office to corral all the pens. Thanks for keeping your blog full of creativity and food for thought. I appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love these jars and would use them as vases and to set out as I love the color. nancythedove@aol.com

ReplyDeleteI have a ledge in the kitchen where I keep my dry goods (flour, sugar, oatmeal, quinoa, etc.) in Ball jars--old and new. I would love to use these for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteI have a very old blue jar (with glass lid & wire) my mother gave me years ago with the very last jar of chokecherry jelly she ever made, and I display it proudly on my piano. If I win, I will use the jars to make jelly for my siblings (and me!). Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteDrinking glasses...specifically for my iced coffee when I tote it to work :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked you on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!
Hmmm ice cold lemonade in them maybe or certainly some flowers or even candles to have out on porch this summer. Great give away! bggianakos@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would use them for my daughter's upcoming engagement party. They would look beautiful with flowers on my tables.
ReplyDeletedhelgesen@sbcglobal.net
These jars would go so well with the lids I ordered to put in a straw and have the jars serve as beverage containers!!
ReplyDeleteWe would totally use these as drinking glasses! How fantastic to serve iced tea or lemonade this summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win!
Thanks for the chance to win these great jars. I would use them outside on my deck filled with some sand and a candle and also to hold some of my beautiful blue hydrangeas
ReplyDeleteI think I might use them for drinking jars!
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities are endless. But I think summer flowers lined up in beautiful blue jars on my picnic table would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the yummy blue jars and will use them to hold notions in my sewing room!

Would love touse them in an upcoming 50th anniversary reception event at our church for my in-laws. I already follow you on facebook..does that count?
ReplyDeleteOne way I would use them, is lined up on my mantle with tea lights in them....and some beach sand, too!

I would just love to win a case of these jars!!!!!!!!Thanks for the opportunity. I'd like to use them as vases and maybe glasses. Blessings, Linda
ReplyDeleteI liked you on facebook!! Love your blog and facebook too!! Thanks, Linda
ReplyDeleteI am with most who have posted - it is hard to narrow down how I would use them. Vases - sure, canisters - yep! Maybe I would put one of the new solar light tops on one and see what happens. But they would be great with small American flags in them for the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteSince I collect blue and white china,etc. I would use these jars in many ways. I think sand in the bottom and a tea candle on top would make a cute outdoor centerpiece for the Fourth of July! Also drinking out of them with a cute red-stripe straw in them would be another Fourth of July idea.
ReplyDeleteI "liked" you on FaceBook but I really liked you long ago!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance at the cute jars Richella!
They are perfect for sweet tea! Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi Richella, That is neat that the company is giving you some to give away! I love these pretty jars...and after seeing your post, I went out and bought some for my daughter Lynnette who we were visiting this weekend. She LOVED receiving them. I want some now. They would be fun to use for a ton of things! I especially like the look of them with flowers in them as a casual vase...but I would also store things in them and display things in them too. Thanks for the heads up on these vintage jars! Love ya, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
ReplyDeleteOh, and I liked you facebook! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the blue jars. Everything from storage in the bathroom, vases, and drinking glasses. My girls love desserts served in these very pretty jars.They just make me happy :-D
ReplyDeleteI would use some to drink out of and some for decorations: toothbrushes and q-tips in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI liked your page on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love these jars!!! Do you think the vintage jars were at one time as bright as the current jars and have just "aged gracefully" and gotten lighter with time?
ReplyDeleteI would use the jars to organize my new desk.
ReplyDeleteI love these blue jars!! We would use them for pretty much everything. I put cut flowers in them...I have mason jars in the bathroom for tooth brushes, cotton balls- I use them for holding loose tea, coffee, I even planted some bean seeds in one for the boys to see growing.
ReplyDeleteI liked your facebook page - Stephanie Thurow
ReplyDeleteI'd use the jars for all sorts of things. I love to put my dried beans and rice in them for storage. I'd put flowers in them. Refrigerator pickles. Salads for work. Leftovers. The options are endless!

ReplyDeleteI would use them for an outdoor meal and put votive candles inside!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a set of these Richella! I just found a large antique tool box that I'd like to put some blue canning jars in to use as a centerpiece on my table. These would be perfect.

Hello sweet girl! The first thing I thought of was using them as vases, but most likely they'd become drinking glasses at my house, as my hubs prefers mason jars over tea goblets. At least they'd be pretty! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like you on Facebook. It's how I've been keeping up! :)
ReplyDeleteFor wedding shower decorations!
ReplyDeleteI really like them for flowers but also for cutlery in the kitchen, bathroom necessities, and maybe for drinking lemonade!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure; flowers of course are a great idea, but I just know that I LOVE them! My best friends daughter is getting married next spring, and she is using original blue mason jars for centerpieces. Turns out her grandparents had boxes of them in the basement!
ReplyDeleteI like you on FB.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use them to fill with flowers and to give to friends or family to brighten their day. I will keep one for myself - blue is my favorite color - because when I would see my jar it would remind me of God's goodness to me and how much fun it was to bring some joy to someone else.
ReplyDeleteLast year my daughter and I went to the dollar tree and purchased ball jars for a dollar each. We made Christmas snow scenes and gave some as gifts. These blue ones would be nice for that!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the opportunity!
I LOVE the jars so much. I think I want some to use as vases but as drinking glasses as well. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI love these jars! Blue is a favorite of mine too! I would use these for decorations and to store things like splenda, sugar, etc on my counter. Would love to have a set!

ReplyDeleteso pretty! i love mason jars & would use these for flowers & storing things around the house! thx for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI would love to win a case. I've been debating buying one for myself. I'd use most of them for storage in my kitchen but one or two for my patriotic holiday theme centerpieces and summertime flowers.
ReplyDeleteI want to use them in a line down the middle of my long oval table. I'd put flowers for seasons or holidays in them like red and white carnations for the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteI would use them with fresh flowers on my kitchen window sill.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find a dozen of the old blue jars for my daughter's wedding coming up in Sept. She is having a burlap/vintage themed wedding. When I heard Ball was making repro's I was thrilled, as the old ones are very expensive (even at flea markets!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ball, & Richella for the opportunity.
Blessings to you
Thanks for the opportunity....Enjoyed you on FB
