We're planning on putting up our tree this weekend, but in the meantime wanted to share some more Christmas touches about the house. Cindy from Cottage Instincts helped with the inspiration for these mason jars: I had filled them with some shredded vintage sheet music but that's about as far as I got until I popped over to Cindy's yesterday.
