A gift of homemade red w**e vinegar for a friend.
I scoured my cupboard for an empty jar and found this one.. which tells the story of ME and what goes on in my kitchen. 🥰🤗😜
In my past life, I would have washed and rubbed the old label right off, attaching a prettier label and making it cutesy and perfect! But as soon as I starting thinking about washing off the residue, I STOPPED!
Why do we want to make everything so pretty? There so much beauty to be found in the imperfections around us. I knew I wanted to give the gift of this « used jar with so much life ». This jar tells a story that is so much more personal and real… a past life and all of it’s uses in my kitchen, stories about my family, what’s cooking, who’s cooking and what we’re eating.
Side note: I bought TWO jars of chili crísp of equal size (for Sam) because I couldn’t decide between both and wanted to try the difference. So now you know, a mild obsession.. 🤣
Everything tells a story. Tell yours through messy jars…, it’s ok to be less than packaged perfect. We’re all a and making our way, so hold onto *a few jars* and fill them up with your stories. They‘ll be fun to share!
