I picked up these chalkboard labels for pennies ages ago with a small gift card to Crate & Barrel. I really like the way they look on the glass jars I use for flour, sugar, and similar foods. But I didn't like the way the chalk writing looked - I just couldn't get it to neat enough for me. And, it rubbed off too easily.
My solution was a white pen I found it at Michael's in the scrapbooking section. It was $1.99 and I had a coupon for 20% off my total purchase!
It gives the illusion of chalk on the stickers and was easy to write with. Love, love, love!
It's these little touches - inexpensive and easy - that make such a big difference in decor, I think. They just kind of tie things together and give a home a more polished look.
