The porcelain creations are modelled after vintage glass mason jars, including Canadian classics like the Crown canning jar, the Canadian Jewel mason jar and the beaver mason jar. All of Heyday's porcelain mason jars are coated on the inside with a food-safe glaze and finished on the outside with a white, matte exterior. It would be a shame to hide these beauties in a cupboard, so get creative with their contents. They add lovely mood lighting in outdoor spaces when a candle is placed inside and they make the perfect centrepiece when filled with flowers. From $36; Heyday Design – Kristen Hilderman BRITISH INVASION Fans of renowned English rose breeder David Austin will be delighted to find six new varieties for spring 2013. Austin's roses are known to forge a beautiful balance between the Old World and new by combining the perfume of traditional Old Roses with the wide-ranging colours from the modern world. Highlights from the six new English roses include 'Fighting Temeraire', an apricot rose with fragrant hints of lemon zest, and 'Queen Anne', with its rose-pink petals, few thorns and fullbodied fragrance that pays tribute to the Old World.
