Happy Tuesday! A few weeks ago, my sister Stephany, daughter Halena, and I went raspberry picking at a nearby farm. As soon as we finished, we made a big batch of raspberry freezer jam. It's really easy and now my freezer is stocked with jam that I can pull out as needed for us or for gift giving in the months ahead.
I thought I would do a quick post with just a few simple ways I like to dress up canning jars for gift giving...
stamped paper doilies
{use a small piece of two sided tape under the doily to hold it in place}...
I found these spools of green twine at the flea market a few years ago and just love the color...jute twine works great as well...
punched butterflies...
burlap, vintage seam binding, and a sprig of fresh rosemary...
My good friend Jeanne is coming into town this weekend and staying at my house...yay...so I won't be posting again until next week. I hope to have some pics of the Na-Da Farm Sale to share with all of you when I return!
Have a great week!!!

Here in TX we have wild grapes. My Garndmother taught my mom to make homemade jelly with it, and I need to have her teach me! It is sooo good. I love how you dress up the jars for gifts. Now I am really inspired to make some of my own. Thanks for sharing!
Would love to have now a fresh baguette with some real butter and your wonderful raspberry jam. Jum- Jum.
Time to ask our mothers how to make all these wonderful jams.
Inspiring post and nice pictures
Thanks, Johan

Hi Tracy!
Wow, this jam looks absolutely delish!!! :)
XOXO's,
Jessie
Raspberry jam!! Looks delicious and tastes even more delicious... Have you ever tried the raw version (without cooking)? You have to eat it up very quickly as it will not be conserved, it will be good for a few days only, however, all vitamins will be preserved and the taste.. hmmmm...
Bon appetit, Nik
So delicious, a great happiness of life ! Stéphanie
Your pictures are always so amazing! Jam looks so delicious, I want to sample! Have a fun weekend!
Maria
The fresh jam is beautiful in itself... but the way you decorate the jars ... so sweet.
The punched butterfly is darling!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
