Free: Small glass jars, rainbow lids (Riseley, Bedford) Normally give our jars away to jam and chutney makers, but these small (180g, pen in pics for size) ones are so lovely that they'd be great for craft bits and bobs, or maybe to brighten your kitchen with herbs and spices. Currently 14 available in 6 colours. Just say how many you'd like and how you'd use them. Collection from Riseley, or, if you're a school, tell us where you are, and we may be able to drop them off.
