INTRODUCTION
Since launching reCAP several years ago, we have met so many people like us who just adore Mason jars.
They share with us not only their passion, but many ways to repurpose jars, from recipes to crafts, ideas to
inspiration. At the root of it, everyone has at least one reason why they use and reuse Mason jars time and
time again. In honor of these people and uses, we created The Mason Jar Mavens, who serve as guides for
this eBook collaboration. Weve gathered entries from some of our favorite bloggers, stockists, and staff. We
hope you enjoy!
ERICA LEATHERMAN
Erica has been tending to chickens and hatching her own creations since way before
the urban homesteader movement took off. Alongside her blue-ribbon winning
chicken, Meryl Peep, she enjoys micro-farming and finding the freshest ingredients at
local markets. Whether making bread, fermenting veggies, or
canning her latest batch of jam, Erica uses Mason jars every day of the year.
GAIA ASHBURY
Gaia is one with the Earth, and she knows that making small choices can have a big
impact on our planet. This nature goddess reuses and re-purposes Mason jars so that
she can fall asleep peacefully knowing that her actions make a difference whether
as an on-the-go water bottle to eliminate plastic waste or as a way to minimize packaging and store bulk foods like grains and rice.
J.D. WYETH
J.D. has a passion for the nostalgic, from mixing up classic cocktails like the Sazerac in
his exposed brick apartment, to finding vintage treasures at the local open market.
His personal style and his choice in glassware are a harmonious mix of old meets
new, which is why Mason jars are ideal for storing perishable bar items, dispensing
simple syrup, and straining muddled herbs in spirited concoctions.
PRUE WEISENRAUM
For this minimalist, less isnt more, but better. Prues apartment, style, and existence
are based on simplicity. Her daily routines may seem superfluously neurotic to most,
but Prue swears by her very small collection of Mason jars that organize and
efficiently store her everyday needs like cotton balls and cotton swabs.
GERT GAHTZMUNEY
A grandmother with a mission, Gert doesnt pinch cheeks, but rather, penniesand
lots of them. To say that she buys in bulk is an exaggerated understatement if its
on sale, shes ready with Mason jars to fill and store in her cupboard. Her fat cat, Lola
Coupon, typically joins her at garage sales, flea markets, and blue light specials. An
avid extreme couponer, Gert knows how to stretch a dime to the max.
