A Great Idea!

Retail shops like Chiripa benefit from customer feedback. Recently, one family purchased a cookie jar for their kitchen counter. But, it wasn't going to hold cookies! Their great idea was to use the covered jar to hide their kitchen compost container. They loved the idea of a beautiful hand-painted piece on their counter instead of the ugly plastic container with their kitchen scraps. I wanted to pass on the idea to my readers. Here are a couple photos of a jar in action.

It's strawberry season in Wisconsin. Time for a pie.

Who would know that this beautiful jar hides the scraps?

Any other ideas?
