A Great Idea - Updated!

clothespins

So it is no secret that I love mason jars.

herbs to be infused

dropped, settling, and stirred in, respectively :)

I love them for storage,

tea in a jar

pre-measuring liquid oils

mason jar storage

and all parts of them for decoration.

mason jar paraphernalia for decoration

mason jar candle holders

But when it comes time to use the contents, especially the pre-measured oils for soap making, pouring and transferring can be a drippy mess. Actually, everything down to the grains would be much easier to get out with some sort of spout controlling the flow.

And while I don't usually do this sort of thing, that desire for an easier way to use my precious mason jars is exactly why I am writing this post. I know a lot of you also use jars for various things around your houses, and I think you will flip over Karen Rzepecki's amazing idea for a mason jar lid -- with a pour spout!!!

I encourage you to check out the short video,



and the page on Kickstarter for additional information.

Karen is SO CLOSE to her goal and I would love to see it happen for her!

And, you know, there's a little selfish interest there too, because I want these lids in my life!

UPDATE:

She did it!!! She met her goal and now these caps will become a reality!

You knew that this would set my heart a-flutter, didn't you? I backed her, too, and can't wait! SUCH a great idea. Yay! Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm really excited for her!! How brilliant is that?! I'm also in line to buy some of those. :)

What a great idea! I could definitely use some tops like that for my jars for both the pantry and the soap room.

Great idea for the top on the jars! I have a collection of mason jars- can't part with them- always using them for storage of this or that!
