New subscriber? Welcome to The Cookie Jar Digest, an email newsletter in it's sixth year of publication.
For updates throughout the month, be sure to check out my personal website, for much more than I can mention here.
For instance right now you can find the NEW Neiman Marcus Cookie Jar link, find out how to get a free calendar, win the Humpty Dumpty pin shown here, read the newsletter archives and much more.
Yes, you read that right -- that was the price of a Shawnee Smiley at the Kent Mickelson Auction House
last weekend. Read more about the auction and prices realized, and see the pictures of two of the high end jars sold.
It's been a long time since the latest contest, so this week I've started a new one for a Mac II dog signed by Nelson & Billie McCoy -- available only at collector events several years ago. Or win one of five second prizes, a pewter Pig Cookie Jar Pin, Limited Edition. Submit an entry once a day and you can be in the running.
The first in a series of Cookie Jar ornaments is now available from Hallmark. The ornament reminds me a bit of the dog and cat ones from a few years ago. I'm not particularly crazy about it, but I know if I don't get it.... I will be sorry later on. (you know how that goes!) Thisis shown in the collection of series ornaments.
Speaking of Hallmark, the red-sweatered Sugar Bear from last season is on sale for $9.97 on their website.
They also have two of the Maxine jars available for purchase. Type in cookie jar in the search box.
There haven't been any submissions lately, but I am sure you have some favorites for your cookie jar.
Check out what others like to bake and think about sending in your favorite recipe.
