The Best Glass Pantry Storage Jars

Posted on January 14, 2020January 14, 2020 by jennifer froese

While working on our pantry makeover, I decided I wanted to convert to glass storage. Most of my dry goods were in mismatched containers I had acquired over the years, and not all of them were completely airtight. After a bit of hunting, I decided on Le Parfait jars. They are designed to be used…

Dave and I recently traveled to Bermuda for our babymoon, and it was magical! We spent the week taking in all the sights. We decided on Bermuda for a few reasons: 1. It’s Zika-free; 2. It’s a short flight from the East coast (We flew out of Toronto and had a direct flight with AirCanada…

With baby’s due date less than 8 weeks away, nesting is definitely in full force here at the farmhouse! I tried to create a neutral nursery since we aren’t finding out the baby’s gender until birth. The nursery is definitely the look I’d be going for whether we were having a boy or a girl….

#ad I received the most beautiful items from @Long #ad I received the most beautiful items from @Longaberger last week! I have been such a fan of Longaberger since basically the beginning of time, and I remember going to many Longaberger parties with my mom and aunts and grandma when I was growing up.

Everything that Longaberger makes is such amazing quality, and so many of my pieces have been passed down to me from my grandma and my mom, or they are treasures that I’ve found at the thrift store. Longaberger baskets (and their beautiful pottery) are amazing, heirloom-quality pieces that can be handed down through the generations.

I love being able to look on the bottom of the baskets to see the signature of the person that made it along with the year. Some of my baskets are actually older than I am! I love to think about someday when I can pass my favorite baskets on to Evie to use in her home. 

A couple of the items Longaberger sent me are in their newer colors that I had never seen in person before - Pewter (the Recipe Basket), and Pale Grey (the Baking Dish Basket). The newer colors are SO beautiful! They are a little bit updated, but still a timeless addition. As you can see, they fit right in with our old farmhouse!

I think my favorite piece is the Recipe Box - it is so pretty and practical. I love that you can set the recipe card on top and easily glance at it while cooking. It would definitely make a beautiful housewarming or bridal shower gift!

What’s on your Longaberger wishlist? I’ve been eyeing up their adorable Easter baskets! Also check out their feed for the cutest little jadeite Easter bunny you ever did see!

@longaberger offers the opportunity for anyone to become a stylist and be part of a modern sales program! You can learn more about it here: https://longaberger.com/pages/longaberger-family-sales-program

Happy Thursday! It may be snowing quite a bit here Happy Thursday! It may be snowing quite a bit here in NY today, but at least we're one day closer to spring 😂🌿

I planted some flower bulbs in the fall, and I can't wait to see them bloom this year! I chose some giant allium, crocus, tulips and daffodils. For some reason I really don't like planting bulbs AT ALL, but I always try to remember that my future self will thank me.

I also am planning to grow some dahlias for the first time this year, so if you have any favorite varieties send your recommendations my way! 🌸💐

Well, hello! There are a few new faces since the l Well, hello! There are a few new faces since the last time I introduced myself! I’m Jen - a wife and mom of an (almost) 2-year old girl named Evelyn Iris. We live in Western NY. I’ve lived here my whole life, and my husband Dave moved to the area when he was in elementary school.

I’m a pharmacist by profession, but shortly before my daughter was born I switched to working just part-time to have more time to spend with her. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I know how lucky I am to be able to be home with her so much.

I’m a major homebody and LOVE to work on home projects and decorate and garden. We bought my grandma’s house a couple of years ago, and are madly in love with it - a charming, old 1832 saltbox farmhouse. I chose the name Cedar & Stone Farmhouse based on the house, with its cedar siding and the old stone walls that run along the property.

We started keeping bees about 7 years ago at our last house in the suburbs, and are now up to five hives here at the farmhouse.

We also recently started keeping chickens (a lifelong dream of mine!) - we have Dominiques, Easter Eggers, and Blue Orpingtons. We also have one guinea hen (it's a long story, but we started with 10 and sadly have only one left after some coyote attacks).

I’m a type 5 on the Enneagram (a personality test), specifically a 5w6 - also known as “the troubleshooter.” I tend to be very introverted and analytical, and usually do a ton of research before starting anything new (library books, YouTube, google, etc. are definitely my friends haha).

If you’ve taken the Enneagram quiz, I’d love to know your personality type too!

I got this pretty laundry basket recently after deciding that if yet-to-put-away laundry is a permanent part of our decor, it might as well look nice while sitting there! The fullness of the laundry basket seems to wax and wane like the moon, but somehow is never completely empty 😅

I finished a little project last night that I've been wanting to do for such a long time.. I painted my desk chair! I used Fusion Mineral Paint in "Coal Black." It gives such beautiful matte finish and was so easy to work with (plus is zero-VOC). I've done a lot of painting over the years, but I have to say I think I've converted to the Fusion Mineral Paint fan club! There are not a ton of shops that sell it, but it's your lucky day because @buffaloroad_hd hd now carries it at Martin's Mercantile!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are local to the WNY area, you have to check it out at @martins.mercantile (62 Main Street in Akron NY). The grand opening is this Saturday 11/20 from 10am-4pm! You don't want to miss it. They will have door prizes, live music and most importantly food! There are so many amazing vendors to check out, and you can get so many things crossed off your Christmas shopping list (all while supporting small businesses!) #shopsmall Plus you can pick up a jar of our raw honey and maybe some beeswax candles while you're at it - they make great host/hostess gifts for all your holiday get-togethers!!
