My Georgia Jar

This is my Georgia Jar, named in honor of my friend Georgia because I borrowed the idea from her many years ago.



These are some of my tiny treasures, on display in a large brandy snifter.


My collection is eclectic, but this is a fabulous idea for specific collections, too.


Because it was so pretty, I've placed a vintage clock face on top as a decorative lid. (It also happened to fit perfectly)


Guests can't keep their hands out of the jar. They're constantly pulling items out for a closer look which generates questions and lots of laughter. Fun.

The cockatoo in there is amazing! Reminds me of Joseph Cornell.
