We store them in small mason jars. Label the top of the jar. We would put a label on the side but we like the pictures . We have a 6 shelf unit made just for them. After awhile you can just look at the jars and know what you need. :) A for how long they last. We have spices from a yr ago...

My source is older peoples houses. I've been able to find some really nice stuff my trading much needed work for self-sufficient type stuff they no longer need. Just a little while ago I traded a couple days work for a cook woodstove. Most elders don't have the money to pay for carpenters...

So I am not one to be afarid to ask people for stuff I am looking for. I figure if they have it, How much you want for it?? the worse tey can say is no. One night at grange I asked if anyone had old mason jars they wanted to part with. Can't have enough I say. So my friend John 90 yrs old...

Thank you all. Very helpful. :)

No The term doesn't fit in that situation to me. IMHO. :)

Yes treadle power. That is it. :) Not to familiar with them yet. Thank you

POGS, COGS, SHEEPLE, and TOOLS are just some words I know I use in my daily life. :) Sheeple: slang for people who blindly accept popular ideas, and never think for themselves.

Does anyne have a treadle power sewing machine?? I have come across 2 of them in my travels and really want to pick them up. Before I do I would like to get some pros and cons. The first one I came across is complete but 4 draws are loose on the side. Middle draw doesn't come out to well...

Thank you for the nice comments. She's the princess of the house. Her name is Angel. My daughter got her for Christmas 5 yrs ago now. WOW it's been that long. Here is a picture of my 2 monsters. Brother in arms. When I saw these 2 I had to take both. Puggy and smuggy. This is them trying...

One of cats has fund the best spot in the house. As the winter gets colder. She is sleeping here more and more. Yes some of the house is in te 50's but I'm going to save 1500 in oil by burning just wood this yr. WOOOHOOO!!! Enjoy the pix

That's what I thought too when I saw the post on craigs.

Found these guys on craigslist last week. What a deal. 2 large cages, tons of toys and food. They are box trained and are fixed. These guys are awesome around the house. Simon and snowflake. We figure this will be a great way to get our daughter used to taking care of rabbits before we...

Thank for looking but I have sold the silver. :)

Try bartering them to someone. I barter all extra mason jars for lamb to a local farmer. Hope this helps Don

There's a reason they call it good old yankee trading. :clap But seriously sometimes you just need to ask people. I have a gift for it so it comes naturally. Plus I grew up with nothing so I had to learn early.

Here is a couple things we did to cut our bill. MAKE IT ALL FROM SCRATCH!!!! BIG TIME SAVINGS!! :ep But I digress Rather than buying 3.00 englich muffins we make .20 worth of biscuits for the week. Great with jam in the morning. 2 cups of flour will make about 12 nice biscuits. Sometimes...

Top if the morning to ya!! AWESOME!!! I have a friend who is our local beer brewer. This yrs is a honey dark beer. He knows how to make this old Irish boy happy. ( little jig ) :weee

Great job. :) The electric bill is one of those bills you have some control over. Unplug and turn things off. I think I would go for a gas stove thou. IMHO Not a big savings but it's nice to have a food heating source when the power goes out. Yes, I know there's the woodstove but always...

Gosh darn it!! I'm to blame. I over heated it UGHH!! I knew the pop and ping noise wasn't good. :( Live and learn.

Not even 4 months worth of use and it is already slowing down. ARGH!!! Yes ,the temp of the stove top if hot enough. Yes, all the wiring is in taccked. Yes, it is pissing me off. What a waste of 90.00 bucks. ARGH!!! So has anybody have any luck fixing them?? Thanks
