    Even if you aren't a canner, keep reading, because this vintage label I made can also be wrapped around a flower vase for a perfect country kitchen look.

    Home Pressed tomato label.

    This all started out as a quick art project for my own jars of tomatoes that I pressed last weekend. I give a few jars away every year and thought these would look good on the giveaway jars.

    And they do.

    Home canned tomatoes with a vintage look label.

    As I was in the kitchen fixing one of the labels onto a jar I realized you might like it as well even if you don't do any canning at all.

    Because it was while I was in my kitchen that I thought this thing might look good around a vase.

    It looks great around a vase.

    I think they'd be really nice for a casual Thanksgiving centrepiece.

    Would you like to save this stuff?

    We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.

    If you want to go full on country kitchen you can do it around a mason jar as well - a wide mouth mason jar works best for flowers because the wider neck allowed the flowers to spread out more. Which makes for a nicer arrangement usually.

    Just download the printable version, cut them out and wrap them around the vase or jar.

    You can print these on plain paper or a sticker sheet.

    And with that, I *think* I might be done with talking about tomatoes for this season. Until I go mental over a sun dried tomato technique that is, at which point, I'll be interrupting all regularly scheduled programming for yes, more tomato talk.

      Not sure if it's my eyes but the pint labels look a bit blurry, while the quart labels don't. Is it me? Love them, btw :)

        I put it on a plain cylindrical white vase with flowers last night and it looked good like that too. I've so far refrained from making my own ketchup. :) ~ karen!

      I take it that there are blank labels available with that color background? Pretty neat and a very clever gift and decorating idea. I will be a gentleman and refrain from using the 1940s slang to describe a lovely lady such as yourself as a hot tomato. Cuz this ain't the 1940's ner nuthin'.

        The background colour is part of the image I created, so when it's printed, that's the colour the label will be. ~ tomato

    My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.

    I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.

    So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.
