This is what I am thinking of doing, and it's a brilliant idea for those brides out there thinking about what to use their candy buffet jars for after the wedding is over!!
And if you have received three billion four hundred eighty six million two candle sticks as wedding gifts, why not think keep a few and make these eclectic and sophisticated centerpieces?! The same look can easily be achieved by hunting (or stalking like me) the Dollar Tree, Goodwill, or thrift stores in your area! Happy Hunting!
Now, I will be allowed to begin Christmas decorations the week of Thanksgiving! So I'll definitely take pictures of my tablescape! I will be using a gorgeous red organza runner that my mom gave me a few years ago to complete my look. I think M will be forced to love Christmas, too!! And I'm sure that baking him cookies will definitely help ;)

Can i feature your tablescape post after Thanksgiving? It'll be perfect for the ladies thinking about their settings.
You are BRILLIANT!!! Seriously, I was staring at the apothecary jars yesterday and wishing they had a use, since they're so pretty! I figured I would sell them after the holidays, because I figured no one would buy them before. But now I am doing exactly as you suggested and putting Christmas ornaments in them! Thanks for the idea!
I'm steaaaaaaaaaaling this idea! But I have no buy the jars instead of being lucky enough to have them lying around.
Crebre,
Just found your blog from your wedding bee post....love love love the Christmas decor...It really makes me wanna decorate the apt. ASAP!! PS>I love following you in the hive and am excited to add you to my blog list...hopefully your wait won't be too much longer!

@HarvardHousewife: OF COURSE you can use my tablescape post! I actually created an inspiration board for it, as well, if you'd like I can email it to you or you can use the exact phraseology from here.
@MRS.Layla: awww you're too sweet!! I think that I may put mine on top of my kitchen cabinets as well and maybe fill them with fruits etc during the other seasons because they are gorgeous and sooo expensive. They would look really pretty in the bathroom to house loofahs, sponges, soaps, etc.
@KM: Definitely use your coupons and go to the hobby stores. I scored a $30 one this week for $15.00!!!! I had a 50% off coupon!!
