Date jar found (optional): 08 January 2011

If you collected a jar, what motivated you to pick it up? (optional): It’s a beautifully quirky and presentable piece of art in itself, and I love the idea of hidden treasures in everyday locations. Plus I felt excited to have been the one to find it, and I wanted to show it off to friends who have similar interests!

Where is the jar now? (optional): On my desk, serving as a fantastic talking point. I’m thinking of hiding it again, somewhere in Clifton – I’d love to track “my” jar as it changes between people’s hands.

Kirsty’s comments:
Ooh, a second jar has been found – well spotted, Mark! I’ve started adding a little ‘if you want this, take it’ type comment to the lids to encourage people, plus I’ve been putting them in slightly more obvious places. It seems to be working.

I’m intrigued that both people who’ve found the jars so far are thinking of repositioning them, I hadn’t expected that.
