    I have seen some cookie jars in the shop where "every little helps" that are £1.50, they are pyrex instead of glass, think I will be getting a couple of those then add some colourful bowls from somewhere else to pretty the table up! xx

    Defo charity shops & boot fairs!! I got mine from charity shop & tkmaxx. Although i have just bought Victorian sweet jars from the bay. Im still looking for some more because i want to go for different heights. Im thinking of getting shoe boxes and covering them in fabric for extra levels. Id look for small vases too uno those short square ones. I got my scoops from the bay also. Metal ones i got,.
