I have a little old jar filled with old marbles.....
I love this little jar of marbles.
I love to open it up and get them all out...
rolling them in my hands and relishing every one.
Just when I think I have found my favorite one....
another one catches my eye and it is my new favorite.
Maybe there is something deep and philosophical about them~
~ how the marbles are like us~
~all different and unique and beautiful in their own way~
each with their own slight imperfections....
but I really think it is much simpler....
they are pretty
they are fun
....and it feels good to hold them...

Love it! I was just thinking of my jax.I do the same with them.They are rubber and brightly colored.Not like the old ones that were just silver.Thanks for the memories,have a great day!
I love your marbles! Beautiful photographs and love your website. I have some marbles from my grandmother's house and I do the same thing!!
I never gave marbles a second thought. I love your perspective.
I too love old jars. I have so many of them that I should list on my Etsy sight. I just can't seem to part from them.

Wunderful post, love the jar with marbles.
Boy, this post brought back memories of playing marbles during school recesses. We had all kinds of paths carved in the ground for them to roll along in.
Like you, I think marbles are fascinating. Each unique - just like us!
have a sweet day,

great photos...i really like your marbles in a jar...i don't have any marbles...but, i do keep my berry beads in a jar
My son would LOVE a jar full of marbles! They make great photos!
I never thought of it that way, but it is true!
I love this, I used to have lots of marbles as a kid, and really wish I still had them, and the little bag my mom made for me to carry them in....no telling what happened to them. Have a great VTT and thanks for the memory....
I think I still have my old marbles in a candy jar--somewhere.
Super post! I love the colors of marbles they are fun to play with and look at!

This is a beautiful post, Chass...I remember the boys in the neighborhood playing with marbles when we were growing up...do boys still play marbles or are they just beautiful pieces to display in a jar?? Either way, your collection is gorgeous!!!
oh girl I think you are on to something here! I love that analogy...as for the marbles...I love them too~xo
Marbles, beautiful marbles.Marbles everyone thought I had lost but I have kept them hidden at the back of the closet in a jar. These are the marbles of my childhood that were held to the light, played with and swapped with friends. Thanks for the memories. Have a great day!
oH this little marble post makes me happy!
Such a pretty little collection. I like how they are cold too. Isn't that weird.
that reminds me of my childhood! Now i wish i still had them!
Chas,
I knew that I had lost my marbles. Now I know where they are.
You need to tell your grandma and grandpa how much you like marbles, cause they have that huge jar.
Love you,
Mom
Those are wonderful. If I could wear them all on a necklace I just might!
Some of them are like little works of art!

Oh I love your marbles! I had marbles too as a kid, and I loved them! Especially the cats eye ones.
I used to take the long piece out of the radiator and roll them down! So fun!!

I love them!!

The marbles are wonderful..the colors so vibrant and beautiful. Happy VTT..have a wonderful weekend.
I loved marbles when I was a little girl. I used to collect them. I didn't ever play with them because I didn't want them to get all scratched up..... what a waste!
I should a played. :)

When I was a little girl I loved to play with my three brothers' marbles, but was not allowed to join in their games.
Little marbles in a jar ARE cool.
I covet thy marbles.
Pretty marbles. Pretty jar. Your post shed a new light on a simple toy. Happy VTT!
How pretty! I used to collect marbles when I was a little girl. I don't think kids play with marbles much anymore. You could find them all over the playground when I was in school. Guess that means I must be "vintage" myself!
I love stuff like this... it cheers up the room. I love your marbles, very colorful. :)
Have you been to Blue Moon Marble Co. in Bonner Springs, KS? I've hear it's really, really cool....you might want to google it and have a field trip! It's in a funky building that is easy to drive by at first, so keep you eyes wide open. Coming from the eat it will be on your left side!
Enjoy!
