We went thrifting the other day as part of our errands.
Ya never know what you'll find.
There's a lil' thrift store about 6 miles from here
that usually has something I can't live without.
I didn't expect to hit the jackpot though!
I just love glass jars.
There's something about them that touches
the very core of nostalgia in me.
These babies are thick with glass tops.
Since I plan on using them for storage,
I will be working on ridding the metal rings
of the rust. I know some folks would say
to leave well enough alone,
but if I make a new acquisition, I use it.
There is not much in our home that isn't utilitarian.
How rich I feel this morning.
How blessed.
I've had glass jars on my "internal" vision board
for quite some time.
Something so small, yet so appreciated.
The Universe is a wonderful provider.
What's on your inner vision board?
Oh my- How beautiful are those!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lucky score!
I can't resist thrift stores either, but jackpots a few and far between. Enjoy your jars - they are very attractive, and will, I'm sure, be useful :-)
ReplyDeleteSue-Yeah, they definitely caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteDani-Thanks, Dani! I hope you find some treasures this week!
I love glass jars. No such thing as too many. Those are really nice
ReplyDeleteI love glass jars too. That was a great find,enjoy them! Blessings jane
ReplyDeleteJane-How right you are!
ReplyDeleteJane-Thanks so much!
Beautiful! And useful, that is what I love about "old" things. I have several of those jars too, some are sitting on top of my kitchen cupboards right now as decorations. ;-) I love it when I find the blue-ish glass ones although it is not very often that I do.
ReplyDeleteDo you use them with a rubber ring for canning still or will you use them for storing other goods? My aunt always used them for canning but I never do use them that way and I'm not sure why. My youngest son came up with the idea to use them for storing our leftovers in and I thought it was brilliant - it means I can see what is in them at a glance and know what we need to use up.
Heather-No, these don't have rubber rings. I haven't yet tackled canning, but I would like to learn.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on using them in the pantry for beans or something.
One's already in the bathroom holding our cotton.
Love your son's idea!
