I wanted to share with you my latest purchase…these oil rubbed bronze mason jar soap pumps. I ordered four of them for bathrooms and kitchen sinks and I must say, I haven’t been this excited for the UPS man in a long time. Now, I know there’s a way to make them yourself but my crafting abilities leave much to be desired.

That got me to thinking about how many uses mason jars have. I used to toss my spare coins in them, use them to stick plant ends in to take root (I still have a quart jar with a philodendron just growing in water), as a vase, a soap dispenser, a drinking mug and of course the obvious, for canning … the list goes on.

In fact, I can’t think of anything else in my house that’s been used for that many different things. Can you?

These four jars had green beans in them.

And just for consistency sake, I used two Ball and two Kerr.

Until we walk again …
