A Breather - Happy Thanksgiving

I'm going to take a breather from my cookie jars for awhile. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We are going celebrate Thanksgiving in Queen Creek. Home cooking!
By the way..... Bandit, yesterday, discovered the toilet paper. Yes siree! With toilet paper in her teeth, she came running toward me. Since that was a new roll of toilet paper, it unrolled the length of the house and then some. She was so proud. Like saying to me... Look Mom, look what I found!
Happy Thanksgiving to all

Hull Little Red Riding Hood Cookie Jar

Cookie jar books are good to read for: who makes them, their marks, years of manufactured, etc. They list prices - My opinion is: It is only worth as much as someone will pay for it! This is Hull's Little Red Riding Hood. It has an open basket and three poinsettias. Supposedly it is worth $600 in the book. You wouldn't catch me paying that much for a cookie jar.

John Deere Tractor Cookie Jar

I had two John Deere tractor cookie jars but.... the other one broke. It is different from this one. Glued back together it really didn't look good. So I am currently looking for the "other" one.

Grinch Who Stole Christmas Cookie Jar

Personally, I think this is an ugly cookie jar. But... here it is ( in my living room).

Cat in a Basket Cookie Jars

You wouldn't believe how many cat cookie jars I have. You know... I give these things away, I sell them, and there are still more of them. By the way, that reminds me.... remember the kitten I found in my aloe vera? I found a home for it by that same evening. Lucky me!

I buy some cookie jars to have around that the grandkids will recognize and enjoy. This is the Power Puff girls. Go Power! Go Girls!

Wells Fargo Cookie Jar

I wanted to tell him that I have over 450 cookie jars on display all over the house and my grandchildren show respect for the "breakable" ...... but didn't.

Clay Art Golf Bag Cookie Jar

My son and his family went to the swap mart out on the West side of Phoenix. He was looking for tools. Along with the tools he found, he found this cookie jar for $5. It is made by Clay Art. My husband loves to golf so .... my son bought it for him for Father's Day. Cool gift!

Treasure Craft Sugar & Spice Cookie Jars

I found these at the Armadillo Antique mall. Someone was using "Sugar" as their grease jar. I cleaned her up and found she was in perfect condition. What a find! Finding "Spice" was just as amazing because I only paid $20 for both. On ebay they run from $75 to $100 each.

I use this Red Hat Society cookie jar in the bedroom. During Christmastime, I put out my expensive Christmas cookie jars. I guess I should get started on that.
