From Cracker Tin to Pretty Jar

Laundry Powder

Do you remember my homemade laundry powder? I didn't like storing it in the cracker tin very much, so I've moved it to this old jar.

Originally, this jar held biscotti from Sam's Club. It was someone's gift to my In-laws one Christmas. When it was empty, they passed the jar along to me. That was many years ago. I promptly did my first stencil work - in the form of a yellow rose - on the wooden lid  . For years, the jar held seashells - first, inside the house and, later, on the front porch.

One day recently I was looking around the house for a better laundry powder container and rediscovered this jar. With a good washing, it was ready for its new home atop my dryer. The scoop inside was from an empty Oxy Clean container.

Though the jar is glass, it is heavy and not moved around, so I am not worried that it will break.

Now, I have an eye-pleasing laundry aid which cost me nothing and makes me smile every time I put a load of clothes to wash.
