Trendsetter

It should come as no shock that I have a penchant for apothecary jars, what with the name of my blog and all. They are also my code for decorating as the perfect go-to accessory for any home décor style; they also offer a nod to my passion for aromatherapy, which grew out of European apothecary shops.

And I love WE's clear set, above, next on my Wish List. But I also love the simple selections from local home decor stores. Like shoes, one can never have too many. Now where to put that new jar ...
