Welcome to Catfish Jar Rescue!

A few years ago, we purchased our dream home, and moved our family out to the country. We love our 1871 brick farmhouse that is still very much a work in progress. A couple of years ago, our neighbors down the road tore down a century old barn, and they let us sift through the contents in search of treasure. Justin found a box of old blue canning jars that were covered in layers of soot and grime. I took them home, and with a little bit of TLC, they came back to life. The transformation was astonishing, and I was HOOKED! I read everything that I could get my hands on about antique fruit jars, and I started picking up boxes of random jars at auctions, estate sales, and thrift shoppes.

Before I knew it, I had a huge collection of jars. I gifted out lots of them to family and friends, but I knew I needed to find homes for some of them (so I could rescue more, of course!). Etsy was the perfect place to facilitate the re-homing of some of my duplicates. In about a year, the jar enterprise outgrew the farmhouse kitchen and dining room. We had the marvelous opportunity to rent a gorgeous old storefront building in town, and are now in the process of filling it up, too! We have expanded into other farmhouse primitives and vintage treasures, but our first love will always be vintage and antique fruit jars and canning supplies.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit!

We now have a new Etsy shoppe! Come visit us at Catfishchloe!!
