I saw a really cool product on the internet a few weeks ago. A solar LED light attached to a Mason jar lid. I love most things in the Primitive style, and I love using Mason jars for more than just canning, so this idea appealed to me. That is until I got a load of the price tag. At $10 a lid (jar not included), I just could not see my way clear to a purchase, especially since I wanted 3 or more for the front porch.
I kept the thing rolling around in my cranium until I could come up with a better, ie. cheaper, idea. A few days later I was in the local big box. In the garden department they were selling LED solar path lights for $2 a piece. B-I-N-G-O. A quick disassemble, and I was in business. A Mason jar light for $2 (jar not included, I already have plenty on hand). I'd like to purchase some Primitive style fabric or ribbon and trim to dress it up, but it works just fine as it is.
SO HAPPY! It makes me almost as happy as a lit candle!!!
PS- Today was cloudy, not good for solar light charging, so I can't take a clear night time picture. Sorry 'bout that.
