Jars a go-go

At J and P Towers, we do not hold with kitchens that are "minimalist" in any shape or form.  I mean, take a look at this image of a kitchen which I found on the internet?

It's not natural is it?  Where is anything?  And, more importantly, where is the ridiculous amount of jars that clutter one's worktop?

Take a look at the ridiculous amount of jars currently residing on our worktop.

Here are just some of our Hornsea selection housing useful items such as tea, sugar and rabbit food:



Another Hornsea, currently empty, but still on our work top just waiting for something to store:

A Crown Devon receptacle.  Not entirely convinced that it is a jar, actually, but is very useful for storing one's biscuits and Tunnock tea cakes:

A large Portmeirion jar which also houses biscuits and the like:

A classic T&G blue and white jar - excellent for storing salt:

A modern Habitat jar - for coffee:

A Taunton Vale jar for our fruit tea:

 Close up of the lid:

This lovely jar from the 1960s, made in Sweden by JIE:

A cereal jar which houses the hamster's food:

 A Baretware tin for the guinea pigs' food:

And, although these are not on the worktop, I just had to show you these little jars used for storing herbs and spice.  More Portmeirion, this time the Greek key design:

 More Hornsea:

Well, I think that's enough jars for one day don't you?  Mr J and P wanted me to call this post "Reasons to be Jarful, 1, 2, 3 (4, 5, 6 etc)".  Er, do you get it?  You know, after the Ian Dury song "Reasons to be Cheerful part 2".  I'll just have to break the news to him that I didn't use it as my readers expect a certain standard of post title on this blog.  Aaah bless, he does try.....
