If you love French farmhouse style like I do then I am sure you are always on the lookout for inexpensive sources. Sooo...I am excited to share a rather unexpected one...a farm supply store! Yep!

Easy-to-Make Mason Jar Tea Towels

Summer is in full swing here and this time of year my thoughts always go to my grandmother and the time she spent canning fresh veggies from her garden. I'll be honest...I'm not a canner aside from making pickles as a newly-wed eons ago. But I do love anything Mason jar related! So I am sharing one of my most popular tutorials, including the free graphic...my Mason jar tea towels!
