Sometime last week, the whole family hit the thrift stores downtown together. I found some great things that I had been looking for, and thought I'd share...
Huge Canning Pot, with canning rack. I can use this to sterilize my yogurt jars AND do some canning this fall...which I have never done on my own, and have been wanting to do. $3.50
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (which I've wanted to read since High School) $1.50
In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. (Mr. Gardner found this one) $.50
Gardening Hat (for growing all those veggies that I'm going to can...) $1.50
Metal Strainer (I've been wanting a metal one) $1.50
Vintage Potholder $.60
Total $9.10
I love thrifting.
A canning pot for 3.50? What a great find! I've been scouring craigslist for canning supplies.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was pretty excited. I've been looking for a while! We'll see how the whole canning thing goes this fall...

When all else fails, freeze 'em:)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen!
ReplyDeleteI read The Good Earth recently. It was... interesting, and frustrating, and kinda depressing, but overall a good window into a time & place I knew little about.
