Fun fact: In Germany, where the Weck jars come from (named after Johann Weck) and where they've been popular since, the name even became a verb! Instead of the regular verb for canning, "einmachen", a lot of people say "einwecken". I think that's neat. They look great in your pantry, Kay. Oh, and your makeup and hair are gorgeous! 🤩
I love how it looks! I love how the Weck Jars make it seem a little more cozy/homey (that is a weird way to describe a pantry but I don’t know how else to describe it lol) with the wood and glass. I also like the idea of you writing in cursive with a white pen directly onto the glass opposed to you using the Cricut. I think it adds to the look. Definitely agree with Midlife Mom.
Lovely! We put our dog treats in the plastic containers (like you did for nuts). Love it because all family members use them and the basket of treats was always messy. ❤
I love the new look of the pantry! Good job! I’ve never heard of Weck jars but they look really nice and the strawberry design is so you! 💕 I see why you love them! I also really like your handwriting in white for labels. It really adds to the look. Thank you for sharing! And I must say, Clover is such a smart and sweet boy! ❤️🐶❤️
Love the canisters I have some old Weck canning jars I got when I lived in Germany, the tops are glass and they are used all the time, just love them. Love your pantry and agree with Midlife Mom about the handwriting on the glass canisters. Also, what would your videos be without Clover, so adorable and I love the way he looks when you talk to him. Thank you for sharing.
I have this weird feeling like I'd want to have a non-skid mat on the shelves, the sound of the glass against them makes me nervous! I'm just clumsy though :) I love the different types of jars together!
Wow it looks amazing it’s nice to know that u don’t have to make a hug change all at one time being able to see what u have is extremely helpful 👍🏾♥️♥️
I love the glass jars! I've started saving the Oui yogurt jars and putting bamboo lids on to take snacks for lunch. Nuts, seeds, coconut chips, garbanzo snacks...it's fun and pretty!
It looks really nice! But I think I'm more into your previous look with the pop containers. I drop things, cats knock everything over... I don't think glad would be the best plan for our home. I'm so happy you're so excited 😊
I love the look of Weck jars and your handwriting is so beyond beautiful!!! The price of Weck jars deters me. I have a vast collection of mason jars and will be doing something similar as you but simply replacing the lids with bamboo ones.
Your pantry looks absolutely lovely, Kay! I buy a local yogurt brand called Bulgarian Yogurt that is sold in large glass jars that have tops the same size as wide mouth mason jars. I washed and saved them until I had 20 and converted our pantry. Like you, everything but the bulk baking flours went into glass. That was at least 5 years ago by now and I have kept up with them ever since. 😊 Thank you for sharing, as always!
I immediately looked up Bulgarian Yogurt. Are you talking about the White Mountain brand? I love finding jars that fit the white Mason jar lids. And Classico spaghetti sauce jars work nicely, as well. Kombucha jars, too.
I discovered Scandish Home on UA-cam a couple of years ago. She uses Mason jars, so I've been using those for food storage and LOVE it! I use the chalk markers on the bottom of the jars to label contents and expiration dates, or instructions (like for rice or quinoa). I've only recently heard of Weck jars. They are beautiful! And did I hear somewhere they are made of recycled glass? I do like that part.
Ohhhh, Clover is so cute! He’s adorable 🥰 , and so well-trained. Loved watching your pantry update. I’ll have to check out the Weck jars. My containers of choice for the pantry are Mason jars, spaghetti sauce and pickle jars, and kombucha bottles - all with white lids. If the Wecks don’t come with white lids, I might try the lighter wood ones. Thanks for introducing us to them, Kay. Clover 🐶 Speak. 😊
Love Weck and Le Parfait jars. I can in my Weck jars but also use the tulip shape for storage (glass lids and clamps). Le Parfait 3L and 2L for flour, sugar, etc. my 1 cup measuring cup fits in the 3L
i like TCS Anchor Hocking Stackable Square Glass Canisters. i also love the Yamakazi baskets. i have the white in my cabinet but want a black one for the counter top.
I have a glass jar obsession and I have dozens of these jars in various sizes. The thing about the different Weck lid accessories is the bamboo lids dont really stay on very well. If you want something air tight, its better to use the glass lids with the rubber seals or get the white plastic lids that are like coffee can lids. As far as labels on the glass jars, I use oil pens. They hold up really well and come right off with a magic eraser.
I love Weck jars. I started with a single carafe for my iced tea, which I still love. Now I'm moving on to the other jars--they come in so many sizes and shapes. My main reason for moving to Weck is that they are plastic-free and completely sustainable. They're reusable, recyclable, versatile, well-made, and last a long time. Looking forward to your video about Weck!
@@daynad8104 I agree. I love my Cricut Joy. I have tremors so being able to design labels, cards, and so much more on my Cricut is wonderful. Truthfully, it’s what you prefer that makes your pantry unique.
I still write too, people love my handwriting… I heard of cricket and people rave about it. I’m not against it but not ready to dish out money for it. A friend of mine purchased one and it’s been sitting there for over a year. She writes. But she should just sell it. I do like the one where you can put your own design on pillows and blankets, etc. that’s cool. To personalize stuff instead of ordering it online and shipping and waiting for it. To each is own.
While you were wiping the shelf, I was thinking, don't miss that spot! Get it! Get it! Then I realized it was on my phone screen! Face palm. Enjoyed this! I have gone the pasta sauce jars route. You get yummy sauce and attractive square jars to use for storage. The Wecks are pretty, but I like not having the extra sealing ring to keep clean.
I love glass canisters so much, but alas, I live in California outside of San Francisco. (Earthquake country). Thank you for another inspiring video. 😀
Great organizing, as always, Kay! Who needs a Cricut when one can write as well as you do....honestly, I thought you had changed your mind and gone with the Cricut.🤣Good job! Clover is so dang cute!
Kate, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’ve been working in my pantries. I started with my spice pantry now I need to look at my working pantry. It’s a hot mess. I do use canning jars for storage. I’ve not tried the Weck jars but I like the look of them. I;ll see about trying a few.
I have a few small Weck jars that I love because they are glass. (former Container Store employee here) I use them in the fridge. My staples are in OXO canisters and I only have about 8 which are all behind a door so they will have to stay until I win the lottery.
Looks so inviting, and the Weck jars are beautiful and practical. I have quite a few glass bail top jars from thrift stores, and the shop where I get laundry squares and refill my dish soap has bamboo lid that fit on main jars. I got one with a hole for a straw for a handle pint main hat.
I recently found a set of two yellow 🟡 glass jars from Joann's on sale which I am using for my tea and coffee area. And repurposed the purple 🟣 tubaware containers for my pantry area. I am having one issue with the pop lids which is if the lids pop apart and are way too difficult to put back together. Wish the OXO company would allow us to exchange for new lids when they come apart over time. I guess it happens if your too rough with the lids as well so they are a little sensitive.
Your pantry looks great. It’s really neat and tidy. It always seems like, for me anyway, that my pantry gets out of hand messy and I neglect to get rid of old items.
You have beautiful handwriting…mine definitely wouldn’t have turned out like that lol. Beautiful jars. My kid would have fun breaking them lol. One day
I love the weck jar look. I wanted to do the same thing myself but couldn’t because of the price. So I compromised with ikeas korken jars and some mason jars. Yours look sooo good!
What size measuring cup can easily fit into the different size Weck jars? I love how this looks but with baking I need to be able to measure out easily and would love to do it with a 1 cup measuring cup, or a 1/2 cup. The make over looks amazing and I hope it works out very well for you.
That’s a tricky thing when measuring from certain canning jars. Weck jars have removable lids but of course it depends on how wide the opening is. Sometimes I have to just pour the ingredient out as many of my glass canning jars have smaller openings.
We only use our table salt for boiling pasta and hardboiled eggs... and you can add a small pinch/sprinkle like 1/8th tsp to a full pot portion of grounds to neutralize bitterness in large pots of coffee... but we're not big coffee drinkers...but when we do it's black so theres not a bunch of sugar or creamer to mask the flavor, especially with cheap coffee...
@@TheOrganizedSoprano oh also if you are ever in survival/prepper or germaphobe mood you can boil it to make sterile saline and store for wound flushing, like simple syrup, but less fun haha.
That’s true, the weight can be quite a lot depending on how big the glass jar is. I’ve got mostly glass jars in different sizes and when rice, etc. is placed inside it can get heavy. Good call. 😀

Iodized salt for baking maybe and that's why you have it (I know, you don't do a lot of baking lol)? I've been using a jar of bread salt from King Arthur for baking that's amazing, it's essentially sea salt and you can use it in anything. Redmond's is also delicious I've just found out. We do need iodine in our diet though, I get a small amount in a trace minerals supplement but if you eat seafood you can get it that way too. Iodine prevents goiter and helps your thyroid! P.S. I love the containers and Clover doing tricks!!!
Yes, my grandmother had a goiter due to lack of iodine in her diet and with no access to surgery/treatment died of a stroke at 60. My aunt was always so concerned about eating iodized salt to prevent that and would just pour it on her food…
@@Lisa-ym1si oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that! I'm glad you are familiar with it though, as so many people don't know. So many health issues we can prevent just through proper nutrition!
I liked your video, Kay. It’s always so satisfying to see a makeover on a space and see such lovely results. Any plans on repainting the walls in the pantry area? I have some tiny Weck jars and while I like them I find the clips not as handy or quick to use as glass canning jars where it’s attached, as in the Fido brand, etc. but to each their own of course. Looking forward to the Weck video though. 😀
I love Weck jars! I have already done something similar in my pantry and cabinets and fridge. I use the glass lids. I wasn't sure how the wood would seal, but I am glad to hear that they do. Maybe you could show us how? I have all of my nuts, seeds and dried fruits in the jars as well as sugars, flours and oats. I would like to get more for pastas. I really like them for homemade peanut butter and jam. Thanks for sharing this, it looks great!
Thanks to you and a link with your video, I found some reasonably priced Weck Jars up here in the Northern wilderness. None with the pretty wooden tops though.
They are modular Elfa shelving from The Container Store. I used to sell and design these and they can be designed to fit anywhere. Worth the investment!
@@TheOrganizedSoprano Chia and flax seeds should be stored in the fridge to extend their life and to prevent their volatile oils from becoming rancid or from oxidizing.”

Are the white shelves where you displayed your new Weck jars an elfa profuct? If so, which one? Not familiar w/elfa that has a front edge lip on it. Thanks.
@@WildflowersCreations that just reminded me of that random time 9 years ago when we felt that earthquake in VA in Boston very subtly and weirdly. So freaky!
I would love to change and transition to glass jars in my pantry ( currently using xo canisters) but im afraid between my clumsy husband and my son they break everything 😬 You pantry looks neat and organized. Btw are they expensive? TFS
Expensive? Maybe. They were kinda less expensive than dedicated glass pantry jars (minus the lids) but more expensive than ball jars. If I need to use these for pickling or whatever I can since I still have the glass lids and seals.
Do you buy directly from Weck. I am in Canada and the price of the Weck jars from Amazon are crazy expensive! Like, $40 + dollars each depending on size.
Hi you mentioned a local giveaway group. Is that on FB? I live in FL and have so much I want to giveaway. However I don’t want to donate to the goodwill. I rather it go to a person I know will use it . LMK how I can find a giveaway group . Thanks! 😊
I really love my Weck jars and was going to buy their juice jar 3-pack, and discovered their glass contains lead. Has anyone else heard about this? I don't want to be concerned about safety. 😟

Oh, and your makeup and hair are gorgeous! 🤩
Just like we call canning jars Mason jars after John Landis Mason who invented them in 1858.
W Polsce za to "pasteryzacja" jest zamiennie nazywana "wekowaniem" (od weck)
Clover was sooo cute! Especially when he was standing to speak, and when he would sneeze before he spoke. 😊
The Weck jars are so pretty with the wooden lids and I like the white lettering. Plus love your hair today!!

Yeah. And slippery/wet hands....
that just makes me cringe. And a staircase? Oyyy. Because I am calamity queen, my mom would be collecting insurance .

Expensive? Maybe. They were kinda less expensive than dedicated glass pantry jars (minus the lids) but more expensive than ball jars. If I need to use these for pickling or whatever I can since I still have the glass lids and seals.
Do you buy directly from Weck. I am in Canada and the price of the Weck jars from Amazon are crazy expensive! Like, $40 + dollars each depending on size.
I bought from weck via Amazon
Visually pretty.
What size tulip jars are those?
I thought about until I saw how expensive the Weck jars are. 😔

Hi you mentioned a local giveaway group. Is that on FB? I live in FL and have so much I want to giveaway. However I don’t want to donate to the goodwill. I rather it go to a person I know will use it . LMK how I can find a giveaway group . Thanks! 😊
I have found mine on facebook! I also recommend sites like freecycle
👍👍👌
I really love my Weck jars and was going to buy their juice jar 3-pack, and discovered their glass contains lead. Has anyone else heard about this? I don't want to be concerned about safety. 😟
We cant use glass here. Im a dropper of all things.
I'm surprised by the fact that you are using the wood lids with food. Weck diesn't recommend them with for that use.
