Weck jars

Oh, how I wish I had found these wonderful jars when I had canned my tomatoes last autumn! I know they’re only storage jars but they are just so sleek and sexy. Of course, they’re also completely functional with a reusable glass lid if you’re going the canning route. (Better than tossing the lids of conventional jars.)

I happened upon these Weck canning and storage jars (from Germany) just a few weeks ago and used them for the pickled chanterelle recipe; I really am not sure if I was more giddy over the mushrooms or the jars. Since tomato canning season isn’t for quite a while, I’m most excited to use these in place of plastic storage containers for leftovers. But then again there’s also their juice line that has so many potential uses, I’ll have to add a few of these to the list too. A great carafe shape with an air tight lid: score!

Available here in sets of six.



So much better

Been light on posting this week, but I am indeed still alive. After a traumatic day last week, and a weekend of deep thinking, plenty of naps, and a marathon of The Office I came out okay in the end. In fact, after a few days I came out even better than before. In the midst of my humiliation revelation I came across this lovely print and it actually made me feel better.

More great prints here.
