Yep, those are Mason Jars! We LOVED the idea so we had to make an Easter version! First I bought a couple of candlesticks from the thrift store (Lucky Glitta already had a bunch!) and then wood finials from Lowes. I spray painted them all the same cream, then sanded and antiqued them. And they couldn't really qualify for Easter if they didn't have eggs inside, right? So I added some of my bookpage eggs, and made some robin eggs. I bought a pack of mini styrofoam eggs for a buck at Target and painted them with Valspar spray paint in Mediterranean and then flecked them with a few spritzes of antiquing solution:

Spray painted and flecked, but one did not fare so well...
Little Robin eggs for a dollar!
