Cute mason jars labels and a giveaway from new site sponsor CanningCrafts! What more can you ask from a Monday?
We had a glorious, unseasonably warm weekend here in Philly. The balmy weather reminded me that while we’re still months away from strawberries here in the northeast, many of you down south are already well into your berry season and that it’s a perfectly reasonable time to start thinking about the 2017 canning season.
It’s a good time of year to start inventorying your empty jars, and to take a look at the pantry to see what’s all gone (I didn’t do nearly enough tomatoes last September and so that shelf is beginning to look painfully bare) and what remains. It’s also the ideal time to start thinking about getting some pretty labels for the preserves you’ll make this year.
Lately, I’ve been swooning over the labels and hang tags from new Food in Jars sponsor CanningCrafts. It’s a one-stop shop for all your jar labeling and decor needs.
CanningCrafts offers an array of labels to ensure that there’s something for everyone. You can choose between labels with blanks that allow you to write in your various preserves (good for folks who do small batches and rarely make a lot of one thing) or custom labels designed expressly for your project (a perfect solution for shower and wedding gifts – these pickle gingham ones are so cute!). They also offer hang tags, cookie kits, ribbons, and pre-cut fabric squares for decorating the tops of your jars.
I’m particularly charmed by the return jar labels. Shop owner Alison admitted that she first created these in a fit of frustration after her sister failed to give her back her jars again! I know that she’s not the only one to face that issue!
For this week’s giving, Alison from CanningCrafts is offering up five sheets of labels to three lucky winners. Each of the three winners will get to choose the labels they want from the shop! And for those of you who need labels now, Alison is offering all Food in Jars readers 10% off their order with the code FOODINJARS-MARCH2017. This coupon code expires on March 31, 2017, so get to shopping!
I like the gingham ones.
Love the labels and the fact that they wash off easily!
Love all the “RETURN JARS” labels, but especially the RETURN JARS TO KEEP ME JAMMIN and Return jar for Refill
A very hard choice, but I love your vintage line!
Great idea. I always say, “This is a magic jar; it can be returned for a refill.”
Too many to choose from, LOVE them all!!!
Too many to choose from, LOVE them all!!!
The return jar labels are just what I need. Most relatives return the jars for refills; if not, no more pickled peppers. I also sell some of my canned goods at fairs and offer locals purchasers $1 off next purchase when they return the jar.
Such cute labels! I would choose the jars don’t grow on trees, perfect. Thanks for the opportunity!
Those labels are just darling!
i like the return jar. maybe it would help with jar loss
I love the “return my jars” labels as I don’t always get mine back. But love filling them up!
I love the return the jar labels and would absolutely use those!
Cute labels! Return the jar labels are the best!
Like all the labels but I like the CLASSIC GINGHAM CANNING LABELS
Thank you for this giveaway opportunity
Those return labels are clever and fun!
I do love the labels with return instructions! So cute!
I like both From the Kitchen Of the most. The Return For A Refill too…actually they’re all really cute.
I would choose the CLASSIC GINGHAM OVAL CANNING LABELS.
I love the return labels & the from the kitchen labels.
Love the labels and the lids.
So cute! I can totally relate to the jars that wander the earth, never to return…maybe if they had those not so subtle return labels, some would make their way back home. Lucky for me I live in Amish country so have several shops nearby that keep jars stocked year round and at a reasonable price (since I’m a bit obsessed with everything canning!)
Love the labels, so pretty!
Give my jar back labels are definitely needed!
My favorite is “I want my jar back dangit!” 😉
Love the gingham! I could sure use these!
Return the jar……YES!!! And thank you!
Love them all. I think I’d choose the “from the kitchen of” labels.
Very pretty. I love nice labels because my handwriting is so awful.
Love the “From the kitchen of..” labels.
I love the looks of these labels.
I love the gingham labels and the applesauce!
Oh I would totally pick the return my jar labels! Too funny.
Cutest labels ever!
Love! Favs are definitely the return jars labels!!
Love to can and love the labels.
I love the return labels! Generic ones are always handy as well. Nicer for giving to someone than my usual sharpie on the lid
Love the labels!
These a great looking labels! I want them all, but would opt for some fairly generic ones should I be lucky enough to win. Good to know about these folks if we ever need something special for an event.
I love all of these labels, my favorite are the pickle jars.
I would love the return jar labels! They are cute and informative.
I LOVE the one about canning jars don’t grow on trees! So perfect and so needed 🙂 People want more apple butter or jam or whatever, but often don’t think to give me back the jars! Come ON…
All are adorable, but especially like gingham.
I would choose the return jars labels. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m loving the return labels!
Do you know they wash off easily?
Millie,
Yes, our paper labels wash off easily. All you need to do is soak the jar or saturate the label with water for a few minutes. Then the label will slide right off the jar or lid without leaving a sticky residue.

The Merry Christmas ones are perfect all in one tags for holiday gifting.
Love the labels!!
What cute labels!
Love the return jar labels but they’re all cute! Really like the From the Kitchen of labels, too.
