Le Parfait Canning Jar
Le Parfait Canning Jars use stainless steel wire clamps with airtight natural rubber seals, so you can feel good about your preservation. This system keeps the contents air tight, which means a long-term shelf life. Each jar is deeply embossed with the Le Parfait name, leaving plenty of room for future labeling, so you will know the quality of both the contents and their packaging.
Le Parfait's classic design complements jams and jellies, pickles and chutneys, dried fruit and nuts or even sweet treats. The jar's design also makes it a decorative element for non-canning needs. They work equally well for bath and body products, such as creams and lotions, bath salts and candles. Made in the heart of France since the early 1930s, Le Parfait is the glassware choice for discerning canning enthusiasts.

Love! Love! Love Le Parfait jars! The 3 liter size is great for storing sundries like flour and sugar. I am looking forward to buying more when they are back in stock. I do have these jars in various sizes and they are wonderful to store all types of snacks and teas. Highly recommend!
Swedish Dishcloths | Plants
Swedish dishcloths, also called sponge cloths, can replace up to 17 rolls of paper towels and help you to significantly reduce waste. They are an excellent paper towel alternative and are perfect for wiping spills, cleaning counters, and performing general cleaning tasks. They are safe to use on all surfaces and never leave a scratch.
These Swedish dish cloths are made with sustainably forested wood pulp and organic cotton and are free from harmful chemicals. They can absorb 20 times their weight in liquid and last 200 wash cycles. This genuine material is made in a Fair-Trade Certified facility on a river in Europe, where the freshwater is returned cleaner after going through the factory.
With these simple paper towel replacements, you can help create change. Over 100 single-use paper towel rolls are used annually by the typical American household. The production and use of conventional paper towels contribute to deforestation, chemical pollution, and landfill overflow. These reusable kitchen sponge cloths are the ideal, greener paper towel substitute and they are much more hygienic and environmentally friendly than synthetic sponges!
Use these dishcloths to clean countertops, do dishes, dust — in the kitchen and bath, and for general household chores. You can use it on granite, stainless steel, glass, wood, etc. It cleans streak-free! A Swedish Dishcloth is more efficient than paper towels, which are wasteful. One absorbs about 20 times its weight, and a single Swedish Dishcloth is able to do the job of 17 rolls of paper towels — saving trees, water and money. It's also more hygienic than sponges.
Wet your dishcloth with water and squeeze it out to make it more absorbent. You can use sprays, soap, or just water with it. You can also use it with vinegar and water. It is not for drying, but is for cleaning. It is not for use on cheese graters or other sharp items.
You can clean it in the washing machine, or in the top rack of the dishwasher. To sterilize, it can also be boiled briefly, or microwaved (when damp) for approximately one minute.

New Zealand's climate is mild and sheep graze free-range in open pasture all year round. There is no flystrike, and mulesing is not practiced.
