Recent Finds :: Vessels
I am a sucker for a lovely, useful vessel. Whether it be glass, metal or any other material, I have a very hard time refusing it. And, around $1-$2 a pop (some as low as .69 cents!), I certainly can’t turn that kind of a deal down! I splurged a little on the white tea tin I found on Etsy ($6). But, it was totally worth it!
I’ve decided to share some of my favorite pieces that I’ve accumulated over the last 6-8 months or so. I find these jars and tins so useful around the kitchen as well as the rest of the home. The glass flip top jars are perfect for food storage. I like to keep my nuts, seeds, snacks, dog treat, and baking items in them. Everything looks much prettier in a glass jar! These metal tins I typically use to contain my numerous teas. However, I have also been know to empty a few containers out and use them at a Craft Show as seen in this post.
The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!

I think I heard a review ( on NPR a few weeks back ) of the cookbook you have displayed between the tins. Are the recipes really yummy?

Bill,
That cookbook was given to me by Randy’s mom. It is very old and has lots of people’s notes and stuff! It’s pretty darn cool!

I found the NPR article: “The Matzo Ball Matriarch of American Jewish Food”

Great blog! I found it through incoming links on mine, which I see that you “heart.” Thanks so much. I too have my dry goods stored in glass containers. And that cookbook is adorable! I’ll definitely be adding you to my blog reader. Take care!
