The Story Behind the Mason Jar Chandelier



Hello!
It's been awhile since I posted on my blog.....
Today I thought I would share a few images of a mason jar chandelier we recently hung in our home and a little history behind the mason jar chandelier.
I bought it last January when Yasmine closed her physical shop, Maison Reve in Mill Valley.....
It only took us a little over a year to get it hung....
It is something I wanted to purchase from Maison Reve a little over 3 1/2 years ago when I first saw it in the shop.... I couldn't resist last January when they were marked half off and there were only two left....




Back in 2009 my Mom and I went to a Rachel Ashwell book signing at Maison Reve....
(It was a special day spent with my Mom that I will never forget.)
Yasmine had these mason jar chandeliers hung in her shop, and my Mom and I fell in love with them.
I see this wedding pinned all over pinterest all the time.  

I love that the chandelier has a story behind it even though it isn't considered vintage yet : ).....
One of the many reasons I love vintage items is I always wonder what the history is behind each particular piece....



You can see my post about Maison Reve here......
Yasmine no longer has a physical shop however you can still shop her beautiful shop online.....

On another note.....
I haven't had much time to post on my blog the past couple of months.....
However I have been posting on instagram.....
It's an easy way to share what is going on in my life by snapping a cell phone picture and sharing 
on instagram.... You can find me under dreamywhites or you can view my feed online here....
I have lots I want to share on my blog now I just need to make time to write a few posts....

Hope you all have a great week!
Take Care,
Maria
