In this industry, you have got to evolve to succeed, and this year has certainly been a year of change and evolution for OLE MASON JAR. Our first retail location, custom and pivoting our creative direction has really changed things!

2016 is flying by, and our Music & Lifestyle department has been checking out all the album releases. Check out some our favorites so far in 2016!

Since starting OLE MASON JAR 3+ years ago, we have been searching for the right partner to enable us to offer world class handmade pieces out of reclaimed wood, right here in the great state of North Carolina. Enter local NC brand Kerf & Burled...

The Polo shirt, also known as a golf or tennis shirt, has been worn since the early 1900's but they didn't start out as the polo we know today.  Tennis players would wear a long-sleeved white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up for ease of play.

Somehow though, despite countless excuses and reasons to why we didn't think we were ready, we simply went for it...and couldn't be happier that we did!

Only 20 years ago American whiskey was defined by just a few dominant labels. Today you can find bars that have whiskey lists as extensive as their wine selection. To help, we breakdown everything you need to know about whiskey.  

What a rollercoaster this year has been. From Adele coming out of her hiatus to Drake v. Meek Mill, we had quite the year in music. But I wanted to change it up this time and write my thoughts on more of a personal note. Let’s start shall we?

Happy Holidays everyone and welcome to our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide. Curated just for you is our top picks for the Christmas season!

 This past weekend, we packed up our stuff and headed to Atlanta, GA for #AMERICANFIELD, an all American Made pop up featuring some of the best brands who make their products in the USA. 

Each fall, the story is the same. It is a race to get to the mountains of North Carolina, and snap some pictures before all the leaves fall. Despite the challenges, fall never disappoints and always produces some of my favorite shots of the year!
