Sweet Magnolias Farm ~ Free Giveaway ~ Celebrating 100 Years of the Iconic Blue Ball Jar ~ 6 Winners

 

Abbey and I are absolutely Thrilled to bring you this amazing "Free" giveaway here at Sweet Magnolias Farm !!!

 

Several weeks ago we were contacted by the Ball Canning Products and asked if we would be willing to do a review on their new Iconic blue American Heritage Collection Vintage Style Jars. They would send us a case in return for the review ...

 

Well of course we said "YES" ... for heavens sake we have collected all kinds of Canning jars for years and have a pretty hefty collection that we dearly love ..and the thought of adding their new 100 Year Anniversary Jars to our collection was just exciting ...

 

Well in our agreement we asked them if they would be willing to send us a second case .. Yes gals ..we were thinking of you !  In return we would giveaway the 2nd case and add a little something of our own to go with it ..and they graciously agreed to do so ... .More on the giveaway in a minute .... hint hint ...I hear there just might be 6 Winners..

So these fabulous Vintage Style Anniversary Ball Jars that are now available through Ball .. as you can see are in the Iconic blue color .. and just as lovely as the true vintage ones. They come in this charming blue and brown period - inspired  packaging ... Love the design ... reminds me of the old old boxes we have found over the years that canning jars came in and how great the graphics were ..I love that they reminisced this even in the box !

The jars are beautifully made .. and sturdy .. of course Made in the U.S.A. we wouldn't expect less now would we ..

 And

 

 We just had to show the New Jar along side of our 2 authentic Vintage Jars on the cake plate above. They actually look so good together the new and the old .. The Lighter softer blue of the authentic Vintage jars with the Brighter Blue of the New Jars compliment one another so perfectly. 

  

 

 

 

The other Fabulous thing about the new Anniversary Jars is that on the back they are embossed 

 

1913 ~ 1915

100 Years of

American

Heritage

 Made in the U.S.A
(The  Years 1913-1915 represent when this style logo  "Perfect Mason" was embossed on the jars)

 

Abbey and I Love that Ball specially marked these Jars for the Ball Anniversary ..It makes them so special and so unique and what a great collectors item too !

 

Here at the farmhouse I must admit we don't do a lot of canning.. Way back in the olden days Abbey used to do canning and was even self-taught. I understand that canning is popular once again among all ages ..and that's fabulous ! It would be so much fun to purchase a set of these if your a home canner and add that special preserves or jam you make for giving gifts throughout the year..

 

But Canning Jars aren't just for Canning anymore now are they !

 

If your like us .. these are positively charming for sippin some sweet tea or a nice ice cold coca cola. I'm sure we may have to throw in some dessert too and fill em up with apple pie mixins or a hot fudge sundae and eat er straight from the jar .. It's the jar that makes it special and makes the fun in servin it and the fun in eatin it too !

 

Thanks so much to Ball ... for sending us these beautiful Anniversary Jars to add to our collection and to share with our Blog Friends !

 

You can grab yourself some ball jars rather it be for Canning, Eating , Decorating, Or how lovely they would look at a Country Chic Farmhouse Wedding ! ...

 

Grab yourself some "limited Edition" Anniversary canning Jars at Balls Fresh Preserving Store HERE

UPDATE 4/22/13 I know several of you have said that the blue ball jars are sold out at the ball store.. I contacted them this morning and they don't have a date to give us when they will re-stock them ..They said Joanns and Michaels carry them ..and I Googled "Ball American Heritage Jars" .. and several shops come up that appear to have them for sale so you might try that too. I know they are limited edition but not sure what that means will they make more or not ? ... Hope that helps some.
