I went to Steinmart the other day and picked up these cute enamel jars that have candles inside. I stripped the jars of all labels, watercolored the focal image from the Autumn Harvest set and attached to the front of the jars where the label I stripped off was. I used Nestabilities for all the layers on the focal image. There's a tag on the lid that I made using Cuttlebug and SU circle punches. I made six of the jars for my table. Today I decorated our formal dining table and placed a jar at each place setting. My guys are complaining about the candle scent, it's vanilla cookies and very strong.

Nice jars, but gorgeous table setting. Let them complain about the scent - they'll soon come to appreciate the look! This type of table setting is always my goal, but I'm usually behind the time curve just enough not to be able to pull it off. Maybe next year when Thanksgiving dinner will be at my house.
