a swatch of chalkboard paint on to the fronts/ bellies of these very cute little spice jars would work!
might need a coat of primer and a couple of coats of chalkboard paint. did you know that you can also make coloured chalkboard paint?
I envision making a rectangle template from mylar or similar to paint uniform labels.
just my thoughts posted

YEARS later, I wanted to chime in with a few attractive and economical jar options for people (like me) who are still shopping around:

http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysjars.html

They aren’t quite as adorable as the Libbey jars, but the straight sides means you can squeeze more jars into a tight space and that labeling options will be broader. Plus they’re a bit cheaper ($1.35 per 4oz Penzey’s jar vs. $1.75 for Libbey’s via Target) which is always nice if you’re looking at buying oodles of them…

When I first saw this post early last year (I follow your blog, silently), I knew instantly that this is the way I wanted to organize my spices one day. It took a year but there here now. Adorable little jars, sitting in my cabinets. So beautiful. At times, I can’t help but peek inside just to admire their cuteness.

My (newly-wed) husband thinks I’m nuts, and that my enthusiasm is a bit over-the-top but I’m too happy to care.

Actually, I just wanted thank you for the inspiration, the idea, and everything. I love the way my spices are organized now, and I thank you for it.

For owners of FoodSaver (or other?) vacuum sealers, you can get half-pint size jars with standard wide mouth lids, and an adapter that allows you to vacuum-seal the jar (both items found on Amazon.com). Its the same concept with a vacuum seal to preserve freshness.

I have these great jars and wanted something nice-looking upon which to put them. I found this: http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=695904

One rack will hold a dozen jars exactly.
