I'm doing partial DIY centerpiece. I will acquire the hardware and my friend, who is a florist, will do the rest at a suuuper discount, but I need to find...

apothecary jars like these:

and the wood box like these (but I want mine to be bigger)

I found some great stuff at save-on-crafts.com but not those particular items. Any good sites you girls know about that I should check out?

I would start with all of your local stores.  Walmart would probably have the vases/jars for cheap and Lowe's or Home Depot might have the boxes in the garden department.  Also check your local craft stores like Joanns, Michaels, and/or Hobby Lobby.  Start local that way you can save yourself on shipping costs.

I hit up Home Goods, Michael's, Home Depot, Lowes, Ross, Marshalls, WalMart, World Market, Pier 1 and Target. I found a few vases, but no wooden boxes, BIG lanterns or Large apothecary jars with lids... 

I'll check out those sites. I'm also making the rounds at those stores like once every two weeks as stock and seasons change. I'm hoping the patio sections will get lanterns when the new spring items come out. Thank you for your ideas!
