ABC Wednesday: J is for Jars

I just can't seem to get rid of my surplus of jars.

Jars are jostling around in my cabinets.

I even have jars jockeying for a position on top of my cabinets.

    You have some lovely glass items and it seems that the jars refuse to be excluded. I tend to be a jar saver, too, as you never know when one will be needed to contain some extra coins, jam or a collection of soaps or something. :)

    No matter how hard I try to clean my jars out, I seem to collect more. :))

    I have boxes full of jars in the store room...there may be a jam glut in the future so I really need all the jars...don't I?

    Guilty!
    I feel very wasteful when I throw jars out, even though I know they get recycled.
    I like how your jars have found their proper place among the other glassware.

    I give all my jars to my DIL who is a jam maker par excellence and young enough to cope with dozens and dozens of odd jars. Your jars look very nice nestled in amongst the glassware.

    I love these photos. When I get inspired to put my jars in the recycle, I usually regret it later when I need one and they are gone! Fun take on J!

    I always think I'm going to need them. I almost never do, but that 1 time out of 100 keeps them in stock.
    I relate.

    A few more and you'll need to leave the doors ajar.

    Most of the houses are built around jars, I guess. I am so amazed it all sounds so familiar, all this distance not withstanding.

    OOH you do have a lot of jars. I love collecting interesting jars, vases, glass, etc. My husband, however, just calls it 'junk'! LOL.

    Have a great week!

    I probably save one too many jars and it does get difficult trying to find them good homes!

    Beautiful glass jars. I'm like that with boxes -- good strong boxes, not too large and with a fitted lids. Who knows what I might be able to use those for!

    You have a great collection of glass and jars. It is hard to throw them out, you never know when they will be needed.

    Some of those are too pretty to just be jars! They are vases in my book ;>)....they are among the things that just do seem to multiply, because "you never know when you'll need one."
