after all the jam is eaten


Bonne Maman confiture comes in lovely shaped jars with a checkered lid on.
After eating all the jam don't throw away the empty jars.
They are handy for storing buttons, beads, needles etc.....
And they look great too!

Bonne Maman confiture jars

Thank you MIL for eating lots of jam and saving the empty jars for me!

    Met een paars deksel heb ik ze nog nooit gezien en het model is ook anders dan het mij bekende. Ze zijn prachtig en de rode worden hier ook bewaard. Zul je zien dat ze binnenkort vanwege de recessie minder mooie jampotten gaan leveren. Snel heel veel jam kopen en eten!!

    I use jam jars like this too. I have some very small ones that are really cute. I also have some that had a push on lid instead of a screw on. They were designed to be saved as drinking glasses. I didn't have to buy any cups when they were selling jam like that.

    I have some of these too! They look great but I've never tried a pyramid with them - so they look still better!
    The little jars with food for babies are good as well - I've kept some when my grand daughters were babies.

    I always have the bigger jards with the red and white lids. They are great indeed for storage! It}s agood thing you don’t have to eat all that jam by yourself!

    They are definitely too cute to toss. I love your arrangement and what you have in them. Gives them such notable character.

    LOVE those jars!! Our Bonne Maman jam jars are a different size. We save them to store leftovers and also use them as drinking glasses.

    Miss having those dual purpose jars like the Nutella or mustard that came in a jar that when empty became a drinking glass. My kids laugh still everytime they use one of them.

    Yes, these are so lovely Corry. Here in the States, I have not seen the shape or purple colored lids of Bonne Maman. Ours are imported Red and White, and have a wider shape. I use the empties for many things, once making hanging votive candleholders with them. I love the look of yours.

    Ja erg he ik koop ook altijd die jam alleen maar vanwege de verpakking! Jij hebt wel een ander maatje dan ik, die van jou zijn hoger. Ziet er leuk uit zo'n torentje!

    Hi Corry!
    I spy MUSHROOMS in the darling little jars! TOO CUTE! Great idea, although I think our lids are red and white...which is lovely as well!

    At first I worried all the jam was gone. Then I saw something new and special. What a great idea.

    i'm hoping to make some apricot jam soon (but not in this heat - i may have to wait until the cool change comes through).
    love your storage solution though!

    What a lovely display....

    too bad people can't "see" the potential... instead of buying PLASTIC 'pretty' bins and containers..

    Wonderful to see!!!

    GAAF!!
    Deze kleur heb ik ook nog niet eerder gezien. Ik heb net nog gekeken hier in de supermarkt, maar helaas,alleen maar de standaard rood/witte. Waar kunnen we deze scoren?

    Inderdaad heel handig. Net als de dames voor mij heb ik deze paarse ook nog nooit gezien, ken alleen de rood geruite. Leuke toren zo! Je schoonmoeder heeft goed haar best gedaan!
