I like the idea of a Memory Jar. I read an article about putting happy/funny memories of our loved ones in a jar. xx

I have got a kiln jar which I thought would do but I think I’m going to buy a special one. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Where would I get one from, please Kate?, I shall have to order online, as you know I can’t get out. x x

You will get one on Amazon Mary, you can also get wooden memory boxes which are nice too :+1:

Mrs Colt is right, Amazon have a good selection Mary. You could, of course, use any glass jar you might have at home. They sell special little cards too on Amazon. xx

Thank you, V and Kate, I have been having a wander. It is a lovely idea. x

I’ve just ordered mine. I ended up buying a pretty sweet jar with lid. I really liked the one on the picture I posted but felt £30 was a tad expensive. If the sweet jar isn’t suitable, I’ll fill it with sweets :face_with_hand_over_mouth: xx

Another thing I saw and was taken with was a photographer who had lost her husband and she took beautiful black and white photos of his favourite pair of walking boots, his fishing rods, his wallet etc had them framed and displays them round her home :heart_eyes:

Sweets wouldn’t last long enough in my house to go in a jar :pig::rofl: x

That’s a lovely thing to do. Black and White photos can be very effective and those items very personal.

You could eat the sweets and then use the wrappers to wrap up some pebbles. Your jar would forever be full then. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl: I do talk some rubbish at times :roll_eyes::joy: xx
