A very happy birthday! You and Lennox must be fated. Oh my gosh, that commercial! 😂 I was born in 1980. We didn't own a set of those spice jars but I do remember them and saw them at other people's houses. Those orchard ones are super cute. I'd totally get those now. I best not start though, because I'm already collecting so many things.... 🫠
I think studying the spice trade is so fascinating. You might be interested in my podcast episode "War & Spice" about spice rationing during WWII. It's definitely one of my top favorite ones to research.

Really interesting post. Thanks for sharing!
OMG that podcast episode sounds right up my alley and I will definitely have a listen soon!
Love this! Spice storage has always fascinated me. I remember these very well and a Gen X-er.
There's a whole book on spice storage just waiting to be written (and photographed!).
