Oh, and the price was fantastic: One dollar and eleven cents. Can you believe it? This pot is so perfect for canning. Before we know it, it'll be filled with strawberry jam!

Super Sweet Thrift Find
Karl and I stopped by the St. Vincent de Paul Dig-and-Save outlet on Saturday to donate a box of stuff. It's this great thrift shop where everything is in huge troughs and customers pay by the pound. Of course, we couldn't leave without going in and peeking around for bargains... and we found one! This huge enamel stockpot was just waiting for us. It had something burned to the bottom, but after a little vinegar soak, it's good as new!

Totally awesome find! and good job with the vinegar soak. I would not have thought of that. My calendar tip of the month is to bring a bowl of vinegar to a boil in the microwave and then use hot vinegar (but don't burn yourself) to wipe down whatever was stuck on in there. I'm going to try it. The many uses of vinegar...
So jealous. What a great find.
I have the exact same one but in worse condition. it is sitting on my deck with a pot of pansies in it as we speak!
