Jam Jars

An old wine bottle drying rack holds old jam jars.

Years ago, William Sonoma collected some of these typical French jam jars and had them reproduced into drinking glasses.

When I first came to France and saw these at the brocante, I bought them for drinking glasses.

French Husband almost fainted, “We drink from these? Mais non, Corey.”

Poor guy, the shock of an American wife at the brocante bringing old things home and re-creating how they were used…

“A quilt for a tablecloth, mais non Corey.”

“A washing paddle used as a cheese board, mais non Corey.”

“A spritzer bottle to store olive oil, mais non-Corey.”

“A sugar shaker for talc, mais non-Corey.”

“A tablecloth and napkins to cover a fainting couch, mais non, Corey.”

Now, he doesn’t blink an eye and is genuinely intrigued.
