I try keep my kitchen counters clutter free... but who can resist keeping canisters out in plain sight? Especially when they are glass... and full of really yummy "stuff"!
I love to line them up like they are marching in a CANISTER PARADE...
Glass canisters are both utilitarian and decorative!
I like to use old flea market teacups as scoops!
Don't these snacks look even more tempting in a fun teacup scoop?
I even measure out my flour and sugar in a teacups... most traditional tea cups measure one cup!
I have to restrain myself or my whole kitchen counter would be one parade of canisters!
This year I added a bit of fall to my canister parade!
Come on back this evening for TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS!
Bring all the things you want to show us and show off!

Luv your canisters on parade!I agree, everything looks better showcased in glass. I have all my goodies in glass canisters and canning jars. Makes for a pretty pantry and I cans see everything at a quick glance. Your Mini pumpkins look too cute!!

I like your canister parade..oh so much! They are 'art' and an interesting object of interest with the variety of contents. And the teacups are soooo fun and pretty. Once, years and years ago, I was using a teacup for a scoop and the handle came off and I got a bad cut. But, I'm thinking I was packing it maybe??? with brown sugar...that would use force. Anyway, love your display!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are using the teacups, and the canisters are wonderful! Great way to organize your kitchen items.
ReplyDeleteLovely canisters!
ReplyDeleteLove your canisters on parade Yvonne......they look elegant. If anybody can make flour and sugar look elegant...it's you! Enjoy this beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteI too love those canisters! Beautiful and yummy:)
ReplyDeleteOh Yvonne, I love your idea of the teacups. I never thought about an original teacup measuring a cup. You just gave me a solution to my ugly measuring cup in my canisters :) I tried to keep my canisters off my counters, but it was to much going back and forth to the pantry.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
How pretty! What a great idea! You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteLove your canisters....I don't know what it is about glass canisters, but they have so much charm and appeal. The pumpkins are a really nice touch.

Love the idea of using tea cups as scoops. I have three of the exact same canisters! I am always changing whats in them according to season. Thanks for the ideas! - Tonya
ReplyDeleteI love your canister parade! And such a lovely idea using old teacups for scooping and measuring! I've been using some old plastic Tupperware scoops but I think it's time to switch them out.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute and I love the teacup idea! Brilliant. I like my counters clear, but yours are so beautiful!

I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteThese look great on your counter, Yvonne! Love the teacups as scoops. If I had snacks visible like that though, I'd be snacking all day! : )
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. Everything you do is just beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, where did you find this size canisters? I love these. Have a great week. Sheila
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, I got my canisters at Reading China And Glass... but I have seen them at Walmart too.
DeleteCan't wait to have my own canister parade! Love yours, and I am totally copying that teacup idea!! You always inspire me :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Yvonne...they look so lovely on your pretty counter top.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully organized, and I love the cups as scoops.
ReplyDeleteSorry Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if it is OK to link the post of my canisters on the top of my kitchen counter. Not fancy as yours but, I love the not so cluttered top.
TY for inspiring.

I have several canisters on my counters as well but there is not way I could put any kind of snack in them because they would stay empty!! Love the idea of the teacup!
ReplyDeleteI have been debating about canisters in the new kitchen, I love the idea of the clear ones, you can change them out for the seasons!!!!!!!!!! Love your "parade"! I'll be back tonight:) XOXO
ReplyDeleteYour canisters look great on your counter. I have been thinking about getting some of those. I love the wide mouths on them.
ReplyDeleteLove the pompkin 'surprise' canister:@)
ReplyDeleteLove the canister parade!!...and everything is better with a beautiful teacup!....beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy these canisters also. It is so much better than getting them out of the cabinet every time I bake. I love your web site and I wish I had someone to teach me how to do what you do but don't know where to start. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA kitchen after my own heart! I love canisters, too...may have to slip some pumpkins in one...super cute! Xo, Aimee
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful canisters and I love the idea of using old teacups as scoops. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I only wish I had more counter space. I love your canisters.
ReplyDeleteDee
Your canisters look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love using the tea cups! I've never thought of doing that. If I had more counter space, I'd have more canisters. :) You always have the best ideas!
ReplyDeleteI've joined the party as you suggested ~ thanks for the invitation!

I love your parade of canisters...especially when they're filled with such yumminess! The tiny pumpkins are so cute! I love the idea of using a pretty teacup for a scoop. I have to get some for my canisters.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne, Your canisters are reminding me of the ones I used to have back in the 80s--I kept everything in them--flour, sugar, cereal, pasta, and then I put them away. I think they mostly came from Crate and Barrel. I will have to get them out again and fill them with pumpkins and other goodies. Linda
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of those glass canisters on my counter--one is filled with the little colorful 'math bears' I used to teach my son counting when he was in kindergarten (he's 14 now!). He would love your snack mix jar; is it a special recipe?

Yvonne, I love seeing all your pretty canisters! I try to keep my counters clear, too...but couldn't resist adding a few canisters when I saw the baking center in the movie, It's Complicated. :) Love how you filled yours!
ReplyDeleteI love these glass jars for kitchen organization. They look beautiful on your counters. I am really looking forward to our kitchen makeover and adding in some character with jars like this. Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have the dimensions on your canisters? I want to get the look and there are several sizes out there, the size of yours will give me an idea of what I need to buy. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have these same canisters, Yvonne, and love filling them with seasonal goodies! However, I DON'T have beautiful blue and white cups like you do ... just might have to keep my eye out for some! :)
