This is a Limited Edition pewter pin using the Shawnee Smiley as inspiration. The pin is approximately 1 3/8" high and has a "pin-back" as opposed to a costume jewelry back.

Hope you're ready for the holiday seasons to start, we'll be getting overwhelmed with new ideas and products. Although there are already quite a few pieces out, I thought I would start with this Halloween Cat found at the local Hobby Lobby store. The price is $20. It's a jar with an attitude and had to come home with me. Hobby Lobby also has a Witch jar (whimsical), a Witches Boot jar -- similar to one that was out last year, two different scarecrows and several pumpkin jars, at least one realistic jar.
This jar is plentiful at the Tuesday Morning stores (as of this week). Price is around $15. It's extremely well made and the manufacturer is not shown. Anyone know who made it??
Chat Tonight -- last week we had an Elvis Vigil & Trivia Contest. Bev Sutton won with her astounding knowledge of the King.
This week we want to know -- What Do You Keep in Your Jars! I want to know the most unusual thing you keep -- I know what Rich Clark wants to eventually use his Alfano Wizard jar for... but you'll have to ask him that yourself.
So what do you keep in your jars? Anything interesting?
(Thanks to Skee for this question.) Come to chat and tell us.
Every reader (until next newsletter comes out) that can tell me the name of the current article on my About Site. http://collectibles.about.com -- will be entered in a drawing for a Humpty Dumpty Pin.
