arrangement.
As I was moving things around I
started to think about how much I loved
having Jars to store our food.
Jars are such practical storage, not wasteful
you can see at a glance how much is left inside,
can be cleaned and reused over and over again.
Even the most basic food looks nice in jars.
Many of you may remember being given little jars filled
with sweeties (candy) at Christmas like a little shop.
I always loved that.
What is it about Jars?
I love them, too. I have even used leftover plastic gelato containers as soap molds. I really love the glass jars, though. They are ideal for storing leftover gravy, sauces, and casseroles.
ReplyDeleteHello Stephenie
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea for soap making.
Yes they are great for storing leftovers.
There is no end of uses really x
i absolutely love jars too! i keep all store bought ones and reuse the time and time again. often i throw in herbed bath salts and gift them like that too... yes, i love jars too :)
ReplyDeleteHello Angela nice to see you :)
ReplyDeleteThey are just so practical aren't they.
Thank you for mentioning using them for gifts
I had forgotten to add that to my post.
Hope you have a lovely week🌼
I like to store food in jars too. I have a lot of different kinds of grains that I use in baking and large Mason jars are a perfect way to keep them fresh. We have a little vacuum sealer pump that helps too; you just make a tiny hole in the top of the jar, apply the pump, and cover the hole with a little bit of tape, and it stays very fresh inside.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you Jennifer:)
Yes jars are a great way to keep food fresh.
That is interesting what you are mentioning
about your vacuum sealer I will look into that.
Hope you are having a good day🌼
I love jars, too, Fiona. I enjoy collecting different shaped jars...and clear is always good because I can see at a glance what I have and how much there is. Have a wonderful remainder to your day! xx
ReplyDeleteHello Dianna good to see you again :)
DeleteI like the clear ones best too.
Much better than a box or packet you
can't see quickly inside of.
I like the way they look so homely.
Wishing you a happy day xx
I love jars and collect them up for later use, they are so practical. I still love to decorate them for Christmas sweets for the Grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again :)
DeleteSweets always look so cute and pretty
in jars,especially as you are mentioning
with some decoration.
Looking forward to seeing what other projects
you will be making for Christmas.
Take Care x
Jars are so useful, they can be used for so many different things, and over and over again.
ReplyDeleteHello Jo nice to see you again :)
DeleteYes,there are no end of uses for jars that's
for sure.
Take Care x

Hello Sara good to see you again:)
ReplyDeleteI am loving this Post! we all have such praise
for jars and quite rightly so:)
You will be using a lot of them with all your Jams and Chutney.
Yes great for sweeties and bath salts and it's easy to make them look nice.
Hope you are having a good week x
I love them, too, Fiona! I always ponder how many I really need and how many I can save. Even a single blossom in a small jar is one of the sweetest things to me. I even collect the really old Ball Mason Jars with the glass tops---reminds me of my grandparents. It's nice to see another saver of them. Enjoy your day! x ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you Martha Ellen:)
DeleteHappy to know you love them too.
You are right even a single flower can look so sweet
and pretty.
The old jars are very special and a reminder of a simpler
time.
It's good to have our memories that keep our Loved ones
close to us.
Take Care x��
Oh yes, there is just something about jars {{smiles}} I have way too many stashed away, but I always think I'm going to use them for something special.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend, dear Fiona! Hugs!
Lovely to see you Stephanie:)
ReplyDeleteYes! there is something about jars for sure.
At least you know you have them ready when you
do need them:)
Hugs to you too!
Have a beautiful weekend also x

No problem! No advertising, I typically leave my link on new blogs or blogs I'm unfamiliar with.
