Winter jar, version 2

I shared last week about filling a jar with epsom salts, a vintage photo, glittery snowflakes and other wintry items.

It came out nice, but not as nice as I had hoped.  Still, I haven't found time to tweak it.  But an idea for a different jar kept coming to the surface of my thinking.

When I printed out this black & white family photo

for the original jar,  I had printed out two others:

but they came out too large to even consider for my project.  I set them aside but they were in a location where I kept seeing them.  And I began to wonder ...

You see, I have a very large glass churn that was my grandmother's.  I keep it on the kitchen counter with white lights inside.  In autumn, I add colored leaves to the jar, and sometimes a few pine cones.

At Christmas, I have been known to add greenery and red berries, although I don't think I have any photos of that.  So I was wondering how this jar would look with a vintage photo and a few snowflakes in it.  Today I finally got around to trying my idea.  I left out the the epsom salt "snow" for obvious reasons.

There are two clear sparkly snowflakes

And a silvery pine cone in there.  The ribbed accents on the sides of the jar add a nice sparkle too.

I think it turned out pretty well.  If I can find some faux evergreens somewhere (I have a spray but it's too big and I don't want to dismantle it), I think they would make a nice addition.  I like this jar much better than my first attempt.
