If you did a candy/dessert buffet?

Where did you get all your glass jars from? I'm going to try Home Goods, TJMaxx, Marshalls (although I'm pretty sure its the HomeGoods stuff in there). I want all mismatched jars and I dont really want to spend a fortune. I only need about 6 or 7 for the candy....

Michaels and use the 40% off coupons that come in the sunday paper or you can google for them. Also Ace Hardware sells cheap glass jars by the case (mason jars)

The dollar store in the Massapequa TRU shopping center has BUNCHES of glass jars / vases! Thrift shops too could be a good place to look!

Re: If you did a candy/dessert buffet?

Before you spend money, raid your cabinets and basement for all glass vessels. Think outside the box... vases, crystal bowls, an old glass fishbowl, candle holders, trifle bowl, cake pedestal, cocktail shaker, glass pitcher, etc.

With your theme, you can raise up small containers or serve cupcakes on a stack of board games! Chat Icon

Also got a few nice pieces from the Pottery Barn outlet in Riverhead on clearance.

Got mine at Home Goods :) I agree with Denise though, with your theme the game board idea would be so cute, or even wrap some boxes in ex/christmas paper like candy cane stripes!

I like this idea! But, I dont have any of that stuff around. We have a tiny house and have one vase for flowers Chat Icon My sister was at TJMaxx yesterday and said they had tons of cheap stuff so I'm gonna go check it out! I might use our candyland game to put the cupcakes on!
