 Crumbs from my jar. . .
Greetings!
I've been taking advantage of the lull in the Cookie Jar World to update, reorganize and re-work old articles. There are still some missing links and items that need work, if you ever come across such an article, PLEASE let me know!

  • New additions to my shelf the last few weeks -- a bright red Kit-Kat cookie jar, I have no idea when it was made but it really looks great in my red (& green) kitchen.

  • Merla D. found a new jar at the Hobby Lobby stores, I've not seen it, but she reports it's a cute Uncle Sam bust/head jar.

  • Missed an issue lately? Check the newsletter archives!

  •  Happy Memories Collectibles
    I've been aware for some time that Happy Memories Collectibles was no longer in business, but a chance email to a seller on eBay discovered Bill Hamburg again.
    They are no longer making jars, going back to their roots of vintage toys and cookie jars.

    Bill shared pictures of all his jars for the cookie jar index and said he would happy to hear from collectors. His email address is on the article page.

    The Cookie Jar index page is really growing, with a lot more to go. Have any jar pictures to share?

    I am especially looking for good pictures of KNOWN reproductions, especially those that are made to deceive.
