Drink Jars
In a world surrounded with high tech polymers and space age materials, the pure utility of glass has taken a shady seat. With no BPA, no UV disintegration, the ultimate sterility of glass is still champion in so many ways. When our cupboard was void of useful drinking utensils, I began to start saving our jam jars, and then pickle jars, and then all the glass that we would normally throw away. Glass doesn't go bad. The container still contains. And I have everything that I paid for.

Nice! You know a great place to find jars is at yard sales and estate sales. You can even find some really cool old ones worth some money! I like the pictures!
ReplyDeletewell said dave-o.
ReplyDeletethanks guys. I will have to check out the yardsales Rach. As much as the cluster of assorted jars works for the bachelor pad, I think a set of any 12 like jars could be suitable for most homes as casual drinking glasses. The mason "atlas" ones are from Classico Spaghetti jars, and occasionally the Smiths here has a great sale when you buy ten of them at a time. 17 bucks for a lot of good spaghetti sauce and a nice set of lemonade jars when you're done. and as far as utility goes, being able to put a lid on your glass is tops.
