No matter the industry, there are basics that everyone considers timeless and essential.
Not many would question that in everyday fashion, the little black dress is a must-have in every woman’s closet. It’s a perfect standard piece that can be dressed up or down for most-every occasion and most every climate. Introduced into our closet’s list of must-haves in 1961 when Audrey Hepburn wore the Givenchy black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the little black dress remains a wardrobe essential. Even Barbie agrees.
And in home decor upcycling and crafting, the Mason jar seems to be topping our lists of go-to essentials.
Introduced in 1858 by Philadelphia tinsmith John Landis Mason, the little jars are seemingly used for everything these days.
– Need an interesting light? Use a mason jar and a light kit.
