I thought I was the only one who had a fascination with glass jars....lol....of course I have tons of canning jars but I use many other jars for long term storage...
Well, I guess I’m just a thrifty pack rat. I have trouble throwing away anything that looks like it might have a useful purpose.
I especially like the jars for storage. Like old buttons, beans, etc. You can see what’s there at a glance.
I also prefer open shelving in a closet rather than dresser draawers to stack sweaters, and t shirts, and slacks etc. Just so you can open the door and see it all at a glance.
I save caviar jars for my seeds. They’re all lined up in the the back freezer, like little soldiers/airmen. They are so cute. Hubby just cannot understand it. The larger seeds go in spice jars and they too are lined up, the beans and peas, corn, etc, go in my empty martini olive jars. I don’t can, so give those jars to a lady who does, I freeze stuff. I do have canning books though. DUH...they’re nice to read and have very nice recipes, and I do freeze those. I did make some tomato leather and one tomato that I turned into tomato dust, because I didn’t use enough tomato juice. I’m going to buy a drier for the coming vegetable season and may be keep some jars for the dried vegetables. Should be interesting.
