Did you find this helpful? Would you be interested in other videos on finding good deals at Thrift and antique stores or want one on what we use the herbs for in the redone cabinet area? Let me know!

@hembrasalvaje 4 года назад

i love thrift and antique stores and also rarely buy anything i dont have a use for Unless it is something i can carefully restore and flip to make a little extra money

@marydoelman4077 4 года назад

I actually dried some herbs last season, but don't really utilize them much and would love to know what to do with them. Plus love your thrifted glass!!

@barbaracarbone4658 4 года назад

Sure, letting us know how u use the herbs would be nice. Also,. I love thrift shopping, so seeing your thrift buys would be great. Thanks

@vickiejones4594 4 года назад

Loved this and I am a great thrift store shopper.

@allmotion2712 3 года назад

Hi I’ve just found your channel and subscribed. Do you have any videos about how you dry your herbs , thanks

@kristiecox8813 4 года назад

Sharpies also work well for labeling jars. When you need to wash the jar it scrubs right off. Best wishes on the renovation!

Heather did you know that hobby lobby has these type of jars and if you only need one you can use a 40% coupon. And if you need more than one the sections of the stores go on sale regularly you can wait until that section goes on sale and every jar you buy is 40% sometimes 50% off.

You look great without the make up! Lol I just got mine all done last week. Bought a smaller fridge to fit where it actually belongs. Now I can bring in my old hoosier cabinet and put right where the old fridge is...was. 😁...

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

lol I think it might have been a first time on camera without a stitch of makeup. Nice job on the organization, I feel right before planting time begins in full is the perfect time to get it done. And a hoosier cabinet!, how fun!!!

I love and appreciate your down to earth approach. Would you ever consider doing a children/family vegetable cookbook review? Keep up the great job!

@edieboudreau9637 4 года назад

Taking jars and putting on a shelf like for wine bottles means you can see each lid ( like the dividers in canning boxes but instead of squarish more like "x"). I label the lids. Makes it easy to determine what to pick.( sorry autocorrect changed/removed what I typed & I missed it)

I'm so excited for your kitchen re-do! When we bought our house almost 2 years ago we knew the kitchen would need an upgrade. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'm super happy about that ~ I'm going to see how yours goes and looking forward to getting some ideas on functionality from you! That's the most important! Thanks for this video!

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

Hi @Julie Lindstrom I'm excited too and yes functionality is KEY... and looking nice. I go between farmhouse, 1940's and cabin rustic... trying to pull them all together is interesting, especially the backsplash. lol

0:40 ..You roll pretty cool....Remember that Your a blessing to those around you. Have you thought of trying a *cupboard step(s)* for the mason jars in the back..?? I use a measured 2x4 for my mason jars in the back.

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 4 года назад

This is very timely for me! I was just telling my daughters last night that I need to organize our medicinal meds where they make sense and can be reached easily. I'm a herbalist and have part of my pantry dedicated to herbs....an old curio cabinet painted black (glass sides) and holding my tinctures and salves....and an apothecary "small drawer " type cabinet with other herbs in it. Scattered! I need cold meds and anti-inflammatory blends on hand and easily reached. We don't use many OTC drugs now---an occasional ibuprofen or Tylenol for quick relief if need be--which is rare--which is the reason I allow it. Any time someone needs something I am called to the front lines to go find it. LOL Great organizational video. I am enjoying your channel and your FB group. I'm the "turkey pot pie" lady of recent FB group post fame. lol

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

I love how you re-purposed the old curio cabinet!

@babscountry7465 4 года назад

Do you have any tips that you can share on anti-inflammatory herbs that I can use for pain and to help with the inflammation? It would greatly be appreciated!! I am just starting in the herbs and Essential oils to help myself as well as my family.. Thank you!!

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 4 года назад

@@babscountry7465 I will list some anti-inflammatory herbs here, but it matters what is causing your inflammation as to what might work best for you. I am on FB (Michele Nutter) and am happy to answer questions as best that I can if you're interested in contacting me there--you can friend request me, then we can private message. Some anti-inflammatory herbs are ginger, yarrow, cinnamon, and turmeric. Some of these can interact negatively with certain drugs and/or health conditions, so always do some research before consuming any herb in medicinal doses. Herbs can be taken as teas, capsules, tinctures, or just in water--down the hatch (although that is more difficult with certain herbs). Salves, lotions, and topical sprays can also be made for, well, topical use. ;) One thing you might do to learn more is watch reputable herbalists on YT (Dr. Patrick Jones from Homegrown Herbalist is one of my favorites). I'm happy to chat with you on FB if you'd like that. :) Best wishes!

@babscountry7465 4 года назад

Thank you so much.. The inflammation is caused by an injury and I had to have surgery due to the injury..

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 4 года назад

@@babscountry7465 I would try regular use of some anti-inflammatory herbs such as ginger, turmeric, yarrow, cinnamon, etc. You can use them as teas, tinctures, capsules, or just add to water and swallow. Do remember to research for any contraindications with health conditions that you may have (BP issues, blood clotting factors, etc.) and any contraindications with meds that you may take. I'm always around to answer questions--just tag me. Best wishes!

@lauraskorczewski5813 4 года назад

Hello. I’m an old timer. I’ve been canning since I was 19. That was 46 years ago. I still can every year. I just canned pinto beans and also an entire turkey. I have gathered a lot of jars over the years. Interesting jars. Zinc lids, too. I’ve always used jars to hold stuff around the house. I’m rambling. I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask...... Why do people label what is in the jar since you can see what is in the jar? I could understand dating the contents on the jar.

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

My kids can't tell the difference between some of the leaf herbs and my cocoa powder looks the sane as hot cocoa mix but definitely doesn't taste the same. I make different blends of teas too and some look more a like than others.

@gretarank2784 2 года назад

what did you use to write on the glass jars? I like that better then sticky labels or black chalk labels. The cupboard looks awesome...maybe one of these days I'll get to that project

@marjdickson 4 года назад

What is the blend of herbs for your tea if I may ask..

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

It has echinacea, marshmallow root, sweet cinnamon chips, licorice root, dried orange peel and fennel, I weigh each ingredient so I make sure to stay in the safety zone for the amount of licorice root daily and to keep the flavors in balance.

Oh this isn't my full apothecary, this is just my most used cold and cough teas and herbs. I keep my glycerin tinctures and elderberry syrup in the fridge. Alcohol based tinctures and other herbal oils are in another cabinet.

How do you clean up rusted/corroded metal on the older jars? yours all looked new, but when i've seen jars like that at thrift stores, the metal wire parts are corroded.

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

Luckily these were all clean and in great shape but for rusty ones hot soapy water and then you can try lemon juice or vinegar on the rusty parts and then scrub to get it off. Depends on how bad they are but if they're super cheap, worth a try.

@scottborders1844 4 года назад

In my area they have estate sales they have them thursday friday and saturday thursday everything is full price friday is half price and saturday at 1.00 pm they auction every thing off do they have estate sales in your area? But it reminds me of how short life is.

I have been contemplating getting rid of our sorry dishwasher but the amount of dishes I would have to wash makes me cringe. I can't keep up even having a dishwasher. We cook and bake all the time. I work a 40 hour week on computer at home. Any tips?

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

I wash as I go in the morning and afternoon, I work between 40 and 50 hours at home too so I feel you. At night, we rotate through the dinner dishes but the rule is all the dishes have to be done every night. This makes it easier to keep up. When I'm baking or cooking I wash the dishes as I go or as soon as I'm finished cooking/baking, I scrub less as the food comes off faster and easier this way too. Hope that helps!

I don't understand why people need coffee? I've never drank coffee. I'm over 40. If you are that tired after sleeping 8 hours, you need to cut back on sugar and carbs. You are overworking your pancreas, liver and kidneys.
