Love 'em or hate 'em?

My online shopping addiction has taken a turn for the worse ... I am now buying crafts online! Eeeeek! I know. You would think the rush I get from the 50% sales at Hobby Lobby would be enough, but I find myself wanting more and thus I have found an online store to fulfill my craving. Lord help us!

So on one of my "benders" if you will, I purchased these:

I thought it may be fun to have these jars and I can change out the items in them through out the year as it pertains to the season and/or holiday. So my 3 big boxes are sitting at the door as I arrive home one day and I immediately set them out. One by one, I place the colorful balls in the jars, making sure to not over do one color from another. Finished, I take a step back, cock my head to the side and say, "Hmmm. Not really what I thought it would look like. Maybe they will grow on me?"

So it has been a few weeks now and I am still not feeling them. Tell me ... what do you think?

Love the apothecary jars! I've been wanting to get some myself. I have a clear, wide vase that I switch things out in. I usually have fake green apples in it and I still love them after several years. Maybe try one solid color in each??? But they'll be fun to play with, that's for sure! :)

I love them too! Glass in that shape is so unusual. I think I might agree with Jenn on the color mix though. If not singular colors in each, maybe two colors in one, solid in another? I think just breaking up the evenness might look snappy. But what do I know?: )
