collection of vintage Kilner jars for sale by & in support of Wesley Community Furniture(ends 23 Sep, 2014 20:07:23 BST)

With all the jam, jelly and preserve making that I’ve been doing this summer, I’m almost clean out of jars. I always give away a lot of what I make to family & friends so the jars are never to be seen again. This collection of 16 vintage Kilner jars for sale by & in support of Wesley Community Furniture* would set me up nicely again.

Kilner jars are great for preserves but are also useful for storing dry foodstuffs like rice, pasta, peas, beans, lentils and dried fruit. And they’re so much prettier than the plastic bags they come in!

*Wesley Community Furniture aims to work in partnership with others to provide furniture and other household items at the lowest possible prices to those in greatest need in Manchester, to further relieve poverty by providing jobs, volunteering and training opportunities, and to recycle and re-use as much of the material they receive as possible.

Collection of 1930s T G Green Streamline pottery kitchen storage jars(End 15 Sep, 2013 20:40:58 BST)

This collection of vintage 1930s T G Green Streamline kitchen storage jars is currently up for sale on eBay for Charity in support of Yorkshire Cat Rescue (formerly Haworth Cat Rescue).*

They’re for sale singly, with a starting bid of £25 each; some already have a couple of bids on them. They’d look fabulous in a vintage, 30s inspired kitchen, perhaps sitting in an original kitchenette from the era. They all end tomorrow evening so get your skates on if you’re interested!

*Yorkshire Cat Rescue is an independent charity based in West Yorkshire that takes in and rehomes abandoned and unwanted domestic & feral cats/kittens. Yorkshire Cat Rescue will benefit 100% from all auctions where YCR is the seller.
