the beginning of canning season

Today,  I went to the Best yard sale ever!!!

In fact,  the signs directing you to the yardsale read:  Fantasy Yard Sale.....  and it was.

I found this gorgeous table  and my first thought was to use it as an island in my kitchen....

My husband just gave me the,  'You have lost your mind'  look!

BUT!!!!!!


I had been given some cucumbers....  and they were needing to be processed......

Soooooo.........  The table stayed in the kitchen and became my canning station......


Cut the cucumbers up....  covered them in pickling juice....  processed the jars in boil bath.........



AND...............


Used the table as a canning station!

I love it!!!!!!!!

Still need to fix the lack of drawer,  but hey,  that will come.....

AFTER canning season.

Love,

Catrina
