Fall Decorating Ideas with Apothecary Jars

Fall is my favorite season for decorating the home.  The kids are back in school, routine has set in after the crazy summer months, and I can finally put the house back together in one piece.  What I love most about decorating in the Fall is the warm, rich, vibrant shades of orange, reds and yellows.  For years apothecary jars have been used to decorate various rooms of the house.  I love how easy they are to change out during the year for a completely different look.  We carry a wide variety of apothecary jars at Twisted Roots Eureka Springs.  Here are just some of the things you can collect in your jars.
