Summer is an awesome time but it is also a dirty time.  Not only are we sweating more but we are outside more and quite frankly we are all much dirtier.  Today’s Etsy Pick is a neat environmentally friendly way to combat that dirt. Midwest Find’s Soap or Lotion Dispenser (a rounded square Ball Jar with original zinc lid) simply needs to be filled with your favorite soap to start working its cleaning magic.

But what makes this dispenser stand out is what it is made of, from the product page:

“A piece of history, functional, and educational all wrapped into one little soap dispenser! This 1956-1974 Ball jar will help you keep track of how much soap or lotion you have left. As a teacher, I’m always noticing educational things in our environment, and this is a perfect example. Get a firm grasp on volume in cups and ounces by using this dispenser with measurements down the side.”

Also, becuase the jar is vintage you are being kind to the planet by reusing instead of buying something new!
