Coffee Table Tuesday with The Little Black Door

Today, I'm so happy to welcome Elizabeth of The Little Black Door, whose colorful home and blog I love, and who has always been a tremendous support to me personally throughout this crazy journey we call blogging. The Little Black Door is one of the first blogs I followed religiously, and it continues to be one of my daily 'must checks'.
Grab a mug of the good stuff and get ready to be inspired!

Vintage Ginger Jar

I am completely smitten with ginger jars! Historically, ginger jars were used to hold provisions such as ginger, salt, and oil. Today, especially in the Western world, ginger jars are usually used as decorative accessories. They are an adorable little chinoiserie element that can be incorporated into almost any room. We all know the stately blue and white jars (which look especially good in multiples), but the other day when I was at the antique store I found this little yellow, mint and red beauty:

For only $13, this little treasure came home with me!
It's little items like these that truly make a space feel special.
Do you have any ginger jars? Can anybody tell me what the chinese character means?
