Look What I Scored!!





My mom gave me an old box full of jars from my grandmother's garage about six months ago. Well, I finally went through it yesterday, and SCORE, they're all in great condition. The tops, of course, had to be thrown out--the dates were 1977! But the jars are beautiful--most have writing on the bottom, which none of my new ones do.
And one has a star on it!

I shared this post on the Homestead Barn Hop

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I love your 'find'! That is wonderfully useful :-). It's great to meet another mom of many. How old are your children? With comments that I always got out and about, saying I had my hands full, that is how I got my blog title. Having a full house is such a blessing. Lots of work, of course, but a blessing non the less :-)

    Good for you on the jars! I keep a watch for them at yard sales, thrift stores, etc...I do a lot of canning and every year I think I have enough until about October when the apples are finishing and I'm down to a very few jars.

    Best,

    Hand-me-down jars are such a treasure. There is so much love and history. My aunt gave me some jars last summer that were a mix of my grandmother's and great grandmother's. I can't wait to use them!

    I love glass jars too. I would love to use them outside in the summer with candles in them.
    I laughed at your profile...we have 6 GIRLS! And 2 boys....=)
