I hoard empty glass jars.
Ok that doesn’t seem so bad. I don’t know why I do it –
although growing up my mum always said “it might come in useful one day”, so I
think it has been engraved in my thoughts since the very beginning!
Much to the annoyance of the OH they DO come in useful!
Whether used for storing leftover food instead of a Tupperware,
or as coin or button storage there are no limits to what an empty jar can do!
OK maybe I am getting a little over excited there but I constantly have to
justify why an entire shelf in the pantry is covered in empty jars and tins of
all shapes and sizes!
This year we had a bit of a bumper crop of sweet peas. It’s
amazing to think that the tiny seedlings which I looked after on the kitchen
windowsill a few months ago have ended up in a wild, beautifully sweet smelling
plant which has overgrown the wicker obelisk which we bought for it!
I read that sweet peas will continue to flower if the blooms
are picked regularly, so it seemed like the perfect excuse to bring some of
them indoors to brighten up the living room!
When I brought the delicate sweet peas indoors I discovered
that my vases were all too big...
...but an empty Loyd Grossman sauce jar was perfection when
filled with my sweet smelling blooms!
I just can’t help but smile when I look over at my mini
vase!
Have you been hoarding anything this week?!
Until next time,

Oh I am such a hoarder! I try to keep the nicest jam jars too...I have been known to buy a certain flavour just because the jar looks better!
