I've gotten so many emails regarding the labels and jars in my spice drawer that I thought I should post about those as well.
Most of my little glass spice jars are from Cost Plus World Market. However, when I went to their website, they don't show any available. So, I did a little searching around and found a great website with an amazing variety of jars and containers. The jar shown to the right is a similar (and really affordable) option. I will definitely be browsing through this site more in the future to see what I can be organizing next. I do love to use many recycled jars, but I also really like the thought of having a place that I can go to supplement what I already have, for a nice, tidy, consistent look.
Most of the labels I used in my spice drawer are designed by Cath Kidston, and can be found on Amazon.
And a few of the other labels, which are designed by Amy Ennis, can be found on Amazon as well.
Another favorite practice of mine is saving the great glass spice jars from Spice Islands and spray painting the lids - using them to organize craft supplies like colored buttons and varieties of stick pins. (For use in my spice drawer, I would take special care to make sure that the spray was only on the outside of my lids).
Thank you for the great source for bottles and jars. We were searching for some different shapes and sizes, this might just finish our hunt and complete the set for decorating! Perfect!

As far as painting the metal lids that come on the spice jars, we recommend following the directions listed on the can of spray paint you choose for the project.
Have fun!

Thank you for sharing your tips, ideas, as well as taking the time to include links to some of your sources. When you spray paint the lids from other jars, do you have to prime them first, or just spray them?

This is such an awesome idea!!! And the site that you found is one of my favorites for bottles and such... I love it!!! You can tell that I love my studio more than my kitchen because it is so much more organized. LOL
Can't wait to get you new book!!!
