We're sisters recovering from our propensity to accumulate stuff. Self help and organizing methods have worked...uh, not so much. Instead, we've decided to get rid of one thing a day, every day, until the end of 2010. Join us!
The Rules
One thing a day. It counts only when it leaves the house.
We'll report on origin, how long we've had it, usage, where it is going, and why we've held onto it.
Click here for more on The Rules, which are arbitrary and subject to change without notice!
Oh, yeah: sense of humor and kindness are both essential.

The Reasons
Someone Might Need It.
It's Perfectly Good.
It Might Be Useful.
I Might Fix It (and it will be useful).
It Was A Gift From (fill in the blank).
It Belonged To (add name of dead relative).
I Forgot That I Had It/Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
Someday, It Will Be Fashionable Again.
It Will Fit Me Again Someday.
Free-Floating Guilt.
Nostalgia.
It's Worth Money, If Only I Had A Buyer!
It Was Free.
Should Have Said "No."
Good Crafting Intentions Gone Bad.
AAArrrgghhh!

Oh, I wish that I had these! I've loved repurposing jars for rice, beans, nuts and other cabinet staples. Walnuts are pretty in an old almond butter jar.
ReplyDeleteThat said, heaven knows what is in the seals of the jar lids, which seem to take on the scent of whatever was in the jar. If spicy (i.e. salsa), forget about reusing that jar.
Applesauce, mayo and almond butter jars all work fine for this. Baby food? I might guess yes.
(I wonder if you can buy plain metal caps for jars anywhere?)
That sooo reminds me of this chapter in Bill Bryson's book The Thunderbolt Kid when he talks about the "toity jar" his mom used to keep under the sink for him to pee in if he had to go when they were in a rush to get out of the house. . . and then one day a jar he distinctly knew he had peed at one time or another in showed up on the kitchen table at dinner time with canned peaches in it. . . LMAO! It is very funny if you hear him tell the story! XOXOXO, "Q"
ReplyDeleteLMAO and, um, eew.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that his mom's accurate position was that the jars were sterilized in the canning process...but, eew.
