1-7-23 I also like to give old jars a new life. Esp if they have a nice design like the Bonne Mama preserves jars. Their pretty shape and red and white checkered lids are a nice combination. The coffee grinder was an amazing find. Esp in such good shape. It's not only practical, but pretty. Loved the silhouette! What a thoughtful and sweet gift.

[@cottagetime3336]

Those jars are really pretty and love the lids. The lids look like they belong in a cottage. Thanks so much for watching & have blessed week!

[@Elo560]

I use a product called “stove black” on our wood stove. Works well.

[@cottagetime3336]

Okay, thank you! I'll look that up.

[@stevevernon5038]

Where do you purchase it?

[@SarahMay2911]

SUCH a cute idea with adding the fabric of the reused jar lid! Wow!

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you!😊 Fabric on the jar lids just felt cozy grandma-ish to me.❤

[@phoebedigs1356]

Oh yes, I have a deep seated problem with glass jars. My favorites are the glass bear jars that my daughter buys for me for special occasions. Love your videos! God Bless🙏🏻

[@cottagetime3336]

Bear glasses sound so cute! I don't recall seeing those. Thanks for watching! God bless.

[@cynthiarobles819]

I love that you shuffle things around to suit your needs and it still looks cozy and inviting!

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you! That's why I prefer the unfitted style. I love being able to move it around and make easy changes. God bless❤

[@beckyb1797]

I m glad you didn’t donate that table! It’s a great piece! ❤

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you! I am glad too. I have sold or donated things and then regretted it.

[@0JReynolds]

I sure do save glass jars. Especially jars that are large or have markings on the glass. Beautiful gift from your son and what a nice gift you got for your husband. ~ Janet 😘

[@cottagetime3336]

Saved jars add character to the pantry don't they!😊 You have a very blessed week!

[@gillbennett9784]

I use a product called Dirtbusters Stove Polish on my stove. You light the stove after you’ve used it and the heat sets the polish to form a protective coating. No smoking or unpleasant smell. But I live in the UK and it is made here so I don’t know if it would be available over there. The glass jars look lovely but I was always taught not to leave things like flour and spices in a bright place as they don’t keep so well. I do reuse lots of jars but I always keep dried foodstuffs somewhere away from light and heat. My Mum’s house has a proper pantry and I wish I had one. At the moment I use my Welsh dresser and a big old pine school cupboard to store most stuff.

[@cottagetime3336]

Your pantry sounds adorable! Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep a check on these pantry items if they're not used soon. And I'll check on this polish. God bless

[@fayesteeves9555]

Love the coffee grinder. Your home looks very welcoming 😊. God bless you and your family.

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you so much! God bless you & your family!!

[@Linda-fg2rz]

The coffee grinder is a wonderful addition to your cottage. The glass jars add so much charm. I too keep all the glass jars and use them for everything from food stuffs to buttons to nuts and bolts. Pretty much anything that fits. Looks like the parchment paper worked well. 😊💕

[@cottagetime3336]

I love a collection of buttons in old food jars. Those are some great ideas to store in the jars! I'm glad you stopped by. God bless!

[@TnT-cu6vx]

I was so happy to see your video when I woke this morning. Peaceful way to begin my Sunday morning enjoying my coffee. Your son is a very talented young man. My granddaughter is also very talented in art. I collect/use all kinds of glass jars. Praying blessings over you and yours in this new year❤

[@cottagetime3336]

Aww, thank you so much! Family artwork is the best kind.❤ You have a blessed week!😊

That's a great reuse for jars. Love that idea!

[@janegeeo1293]

I've eaten dill pickles with scrambled eggs. Surprisingly good. I like the silhouette drawing from your son, the coffee grinder, and the table you were going to donate. I'm glad you kept it. I do keep glass jars.

[@cottagetime3336]

You sound like a kindred spirit.😊 The dill pickles and eggs are so good. I feel more normal hearing from so many that they too enjoy that pairing. I was pleasantly surprised with his gift. Thank you & you have a blessed week!

[@adaisychain5]

I always gave our woodstove a good rubbing of olive oil or coconut oil after the heating season. By waiting til fall, there shouldn’t be any smoking of the oil. Just lovin’ that coffee bean grinder! I’ve been in the hunt for one myself for a good while, but nothing yet. I’m a little more patient as I get older!🤣

[@cottagetime3336]

I hope you find one soon! Shaun had wanted one for probably a decade. That's a good point to wait til after heating season! Thank you and God bless.

[@vintagebeliever5023]

What a great find! I will have to keep my eyes open now for an antique coffee grinder! I love it! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you! I hope you find one! Shaun loves it.

[@poodlegirl55]

I like that coffee grinder. I save jars too. When I paint a room I pour the leftover paint into a glass jar. It keeps for years, I just did touch ups in a room from seven years ago. Leaving it in a can takes up space and the can rusts and the paint dries out.

[@cottagetime3336]

What a great idea to repurpose jars. I'm painting this week, so now I'll be using my jars for extra paint. Thank you!

[@poodlegirl55]

@@cottagetime3336 The paint keeps the longest if it fills the jar without much air space. I keep many of them in the back of the closet in the room it goes to.

[@heidivanzee3242]

I know Heidi at Rain Country used palm oil on her stove, she said it was less smokey than other oils. Otherwise I think its the same as any cast iron unless they have been sprayed with heat tolerant paint.

[@cottagetime3336]

Ooh, that's good to know! I didn't know smoke was an issue with the polish. Thank you!

[@ritamailheau771]

Actually, the mention of a dill pickle made my mouth water. Ever try capers? They are also a zing of flavor. Great episode 😊 thank e

Haha... I know what you mean! I love capers. They are so good on a salad.❤ Thank you for watching.😊

Used he a liquid that hardware store used carry years ago called darken it believe was called stove black ,but polishing is different ,if that little house ,maybe because old cookstove they used cast iron tops , and eye lid lifts with tool for each round lifted small insert covering ,could have been lard ..and dampenncloth .and wipe dry rag while hot ..and damp colt methods .

[@cottagetime3336]

That's good to know! Thank you for sharing how they did it. I love learning how people used to do things. Bless you!

I love the coffee grinder! The table is real cute, could also be a coffee bar. An extra shelf could probably be added underneath with a curtain to store even more. Good job!

I don't know if this has happened to any other gardner, but when I used wood chips that we bought at Lowe's for the pathways, my garden became infested with a tiny black flea beetle that ate holes in all green leaves. It was a nightmare. I could not get rid of them. Eventually, I bought small greenhouses, and I now grow in containers. We put chips around the greenhouses, and only once did I see them. I was able to keep them out, but they were definitely in the chips. Not all bags are infected, but I have had that happen in the past. I use small stones now. Just thought I'd tell you about my experience using chips in garden... Cindy

Lovely as always! I also save and re-use glass jars, but check on them often as I have had a couple of pickle jars that the lids were always loosening themselves. I had to toss out the contents because of it. I never thought this would be ab issue. Blessings! 💙

Ooh, goodness! Thanks for letting me know about the lids. I would have never thought to check either. God bless!

If memory serves me correctly, both jars were large Walmart Great Value Pickle jars. May be a coincidence, but I make a habit of checking my jars often just in case. God Bless you too! 💙@@cottagetime3336

"Stove black" is what I always heard for polishing a stove but I'm not sure if that's the proper name. They used it on the cook stove. I sure enjoy your videos!

[@cottagetime3336]

Okay, thank you! I need to get it polished soon.❤

[@ticiagorney8708]

What a fabulous coffee grinder! I love using glass jars, especially large ones and jam jars. You got a great deal at Azure Standard on your jars! We enjoy using them as well! What are some of your favorite items to get from them?

[@cottagetime3336]

I was excited to get them at that price.😊 We get most of our grains from Azure. I buy Oatmeal, grits, cornmeal, and spelt in 20-25 lb bags. I usually buy 20 lb of apples when they're in season too. I check regularly because they are not always the best price on other items. It's good to hear from you, Ticia! God bless!😊

The coffee grinder is so neat! I’ve never seen a wall mounted one like that. I also really liked your son’s gift, he did a nice job! And the frame you found went perfectly. Very pretty! We have a wood stove too and someone suggested beeswax to polish it as it would smell like honey instead of the terrible chemical smell of the polish. We haven’t tried it yet though.

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you! His gift means a lot to me.❤ I will try the beeswax! I definitely prefer something natural.

[@gw4451]

Beautiful! ❤ Primo sauce jars are my favourite. They have a 2 cup measure on the side. Sorry, but as lovely as it looks, does the flours and beans go bad? Always was taught to keep it put of direct light

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you! So far I haven't had any food go bad. I've had flour in clear glass canisters for about 4 years. I am watching to see if any go bad since someone mentioned that the other day. Maybe it's that I use them quick enough that it's not an issue.

[@letscleanhouse]

If your wood stove is cast iron couldn’t you season it with beeswax or coconut oil 😂

[@cottagetime3336]

Someone else suggested beeswax. I'll check on the coconut oil. That would be a great option since I keep that on hand! Thank you!

[@gillbennett9784]

Beeswax is flammable!
