Sugar is important part of any Southern family. How else could we get that syrupy sweet tea? I buy sugar by the 10 pound bags at Sam's to ensure that we never go with out. Chaos and rioting would erupt with out a gallon of that beautiful mahogany drink!
I have some glass canisters that I have had in my cabinet. I get bored and change them out with my cream ones every now and then. My sweet sugar needed a special spot on the counter! So I whipped up a vinyl stencil (thank you Cricut!), slapped on a thick layer of etching cream, waited a few minutes and had a special piece.
A sterling baby cup acts as the scoop.
I love that this plain glass canister became something special now to me!
Glass etching is so easy to use and makes everything a little more personal.
No glass is now safe in my home!

You know, I have never tried that...but it looks simple enough and the effect is fabulous! Love the baby cup for a scoop!
I like this a lot. subtle and attractive. sugar never looked better.
thanks for telling us how to do this.
That is fabulous! It really adds to the canister. And I love the baby cup! Can I copy? If I can find some baby cups that is. I have 3 canisters.
Do you remember where you found that canister?????
such a cute simple idea Lacy, thanks for sharing. I just may have to copy! :)
Oh I love sugar too! It is stored in a very similar manner complete with baby cup.
Thank you so very much for linking up to Fall In Love Wednesdays.
Have a blessed weekend.
I just love this!
A very creative idea!.., I must try my hand at my own variation. I love your whole artistic glass sugar jar and silver baby cup 'scoop', vignette and I especially heart that tray! ~
Thanks for inspiring us with what you've shared!
Please do feel most welcome to pop by and visit at either of my blogs for tea sometime also.

Yayness-love it. I use sugar a lot to make nectar for our hummingbirds. I am in the Deep South but have given up sweet tea-I am a traitor I know.

I've never tried to etch glass. Your canister looks great! I love how you've used a silver baby cup as a scoop. That's such a good idea to use a treasured keepsake daily where you can really enjoy it.

Hi Lacy! I haven't tried the etching cream yet but yours turned out wonderful. Love your new sugar cannister. Thanks for linking to the Open House party and I hope to see you again at this weeks party.
Hugs,
Sherry
simple, perfect idea~
I can't wait to try the etching cream! I have a project that I'm so excited to do with it!!!
Well, looks like I need 2 things: the Cricut machine and etching creme!
This is just so pretty! The container itself is lovely but with the addition of the etching AND that adorable baby cup -- perfect!
Wow, just love your "sweet" creation! Such a great idea and added the perfect touch!
Blessings,
Cindy
That looks great--I have never done glass etching before and now I want to!
