Container Therapy

Almost anyone who knows me is painfully aware of my container dependence disorder (CDD).  If a container is cute, classy, unique, functional, elegant, and/or sometimes just tiny ~ I am inclined to purchase one or several.  Not necessarily harmful or destructive you say?  Well you wouldn't think so except for the fact that my searching/browsing/purchasing habits are not tied to a need.  It is a 'want' and a 'have-to-have' urge that drives me.  I confess that I am in possession of a certain quantity of empty (albeit, spectacular) containers of all kinds.  I should probably add to my 'life list' an entry that reads: ...find functional uses for containers in collection.  Sigh...   Back to why I am posting.  And why it is linked to my food category.   My most favorite and beautiful jars are these.  I am in love with them!  And I will preserve just about anything to use them.  I call it Container Therapy.
 Watch for photos of my 'made from scratch' Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Thai Peanut Sauce that I will be bottling and delivering to my sisters, friends, and anyone who would like to purchase a jar or two.

WELCOME!

Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
