It was hard

I do come from a family with hoarding tendencies....

I have a distant cousin who bought a barn to stash his finds and treasures....

Another complains that her boyfriend brings trash home but is will to take all kind of unwanted artifacts...

My Dad has various collections....Books, copper pots, yellow vases to name a few....

Me ? Well you know about the Pyrexia , the Lampalia, I love vintage ashtrays (we don't smoke), vintage linens, cotton sheets...

And Mason jars....My faves are the antique ones, I have great blue ones but basically I love them all!

They are so practical!

I was informed last week that I had a unknown stash of Mason jars in the basement ....They were all dusty,cruddy with dead bugs in some....

So I shaked the bugs out and put them all in the dishwasher.


I a quite a few


                               and a new box..... with a big zipper bag of rings
21 in all
I knew they had to go
but it was hard!
I didn't want to give them
I wanted to bask in the glory of the Mason jar!!!

In case you're wondering I have a box or 2 in the storage locker
ready to move!!!
And nearly all my dry goods are store in Mason jars....

Have a great day!

I'm cleaning the oven today!!!

Jars are so great to keep things in! Gosh, I am still downsizing and it it harder and harder to get rid of things. Hang in there!

I share your love of jars - I have one blue mason. My love is old bottles and jars in general. I need a new spot to store them though as have no more room on the shelf. I feel your pain - both with downsizing your jars and cleaning the oven lol.
