Tins & Jars

[El Jefe]

my life would be a bleak minimalist desert devoid of trinkets, baubles and records if pieface had her way

Jellybeans in the tins, home made preserves in the jars.

Little tins are also good for mints, chewing gum, paperclips, drawing pins, safety and other types of pins, ear-rings and body jewellry, odds and sods.

Bigger tins are good for biscuits, string and ribbon, tealights, spare change, incense sticks, cards, and bigger odds and sods.

If you're having a clear-out Jefe, give the jars with screwlids to the craft club jam-makers.

You could clear some room for those vinyl albums this way

Here's an idea. How about Jefe STOPS collecting things

Until he has, for example, a shed.

If he collects enough of them, he could make a shed out of tins.

He's singlehandedly* saving the planet, I s'pose you'd just throw them all out into landfill or some distant pacific ocean, willy nilly



* well, him and me

Jefe is starting to remind me of my gran....

Go to the Isle of Wight and fill them with coloured sand

you can drill the lid. my dad used to drill jar lids under shelves and then screw the jars up onto them.

I saw a shelf like that, but only marmite...

Just have loads of empty tins and jars. Put them on shelves and stuff.

At least they're interesting ones so the result can look attractive. I just have loads of empty boring jars because I'm a mentalist.

I've seen lots of kitchens decorated this way. One person I know has a shelf running along the top of the wall around the dining area. She has old tins and hopi baskets up there.

I like clutter better than some of the minimalist houses that I've seen. My kitchen has old wooden butter and sweedish cookie molds hanging on the walls. I bought them over the years just because I liked them and had nothing better to do with them than hang them up.

Does she have a lot of cats? Is her front door blocked by piles of old newspapers? Are social services planning to get involved?

No. Of the two of us, I'm more likely to become the crazy cat lady.

Here's one of my kitchen shelves of Empty Stuff, if it makes you feel any better I've got loads.
