(Conversation on the phone)Mouse's sister, Country Mouse: I'm going to the flea market with the kids this weekend.
Mouse: OOOH! If you happen upon any cute cake stands, get em and I'll pay you back--
Country Mouse: Cake stands?
Mouse: Mm-hm. And mason jars.
Country Mouse: Mason jars? Why do you want mason jars?
Mouse: For when we do our own flowers. To save money on renting or buying a boatload of vases I'll never use again. I figure if we start now, we can find bunches of mason jars by next fall.
Country Mouse: Do they need to say "mason"?
Mouse: Oh. I don't care. Why?
Country Mouse: Well, I have four boxes of them in different sizes for canning, and I didn't can this year...
Mouse: !!!!!!
(Muffled voice shouting)
Country Mouse: And Mr. Country Mouse says they do say "Mason."
Mouse: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your sister is awesome :-) I love flowers in mason jars, there's something that's just so friendly about them.
It's amazing how many people have mason jars in the basements. At least, I was amazed.
