I can't spell, but kneether kan ewe

I acquired this jar while helping a friend of mine sort canning jars a local charity had given her. We sorted through about 6 huge boxes of quart size modernish canning jars combined with glass shards, dirt, and my favorite jar accessory, The Spider.
Last of these quite large boxes, I found this little cutie and asked if I could have it. Early 1940's round Kerr wide mouth squat pint.
It took me about 6 months to notice SELF is spelled SELE.

Kerr Economy

Four versions of the kerr economy & economy unthreaded squat pints.
Group of three: Top jar is an unusual color in olive green made in sand springs oklahoma. Bottom Left is a very rare steele blue made in chicago ill. Bottom right is an unusual pink mauve that never turned amethyst after years in the sun, also made in chicago~must just have a touch of manganese dioxide which is unusual for a chicago jar especially embossed kerr and not just economy.
Single jar, simply embossed economy, made in portland oregon. I turned this jar a nice deep sun purple myself, only took a short while to turn so it must have quite a bit of managanese. It started out clear with an ugly rootbeer brown tint in the base.

What do mean we're out of coffee?

The coffee is gone.
The jars are empty.
But I salvaged the lids.

Salvaged Drawer

Salvaged Drawer front from an old vintage desk.

I bought this desk at a rummage sale for charity. I paid 1.00 for the desk. I salvaged all the drawers. This front panel was from a drawer with broken sides.

Shabby white paint, primmy tole roses, sandpaper and sealant.

I will attach two hooks to hang it and some chic antique white cupboard knobs auntie found at a salvage store.

Shabby coat hanger for my daughter's room.

not bad for a buck.

Put a Lid on it

Sometimes I buy junktique odds & ends by the box. Sometimes I buy jars off eBay and they arrive smashed. Most eBay sellers are ignorant to the concept of bubble wrap. But I always seem to end up with extra lids for jars of all sorts. Repurposing is good, finding a new way to use something old keeps our landfills a little cleaner and our minds creatively innovative.
