Spice Systems

Okay, here are the early results of SoF readers' spice collection contributions. Still hoping for more photos from a few of you.

I particularly like N.'s "pounder" jars of cumin and sesame seeds. I like how J. has a little brass man who protects her spices from evil. V. seems to employ her feline for the same purpose. One common theme, so far, is that everyone has at least one of the generic round-glass-jar-with-white-lid. But a divergent theme is that some people prefer to identify their spices from above, by label, while others prefer from the side, by appearance. And: can you guess which spice collection belongs to people genetically related to me?
