Crumbs from my jar....
This is the first issue using a new newsletter program and it'll be interesting to see how it goes.
You will be receiving an all text message sent a few hours after this one, this is to test how many are getting
the HTML versions and how many can only (or only want to) receive the text versions. Please be sure to read the next
newsletter and answer the questions if they are applicable. I promise this will be the very last time two newsletters/emails
will be sent on the same day.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads and Granddads out there. If you receive a cookie jar for Father's Day, let me
know!

Watt Commemorative Policeman Jar
The Ohio Ceramic Center will be selling a very special issue of the well-known Watt policeman jar, commemorative is being made by Bryce and Cheryl Watt.
He's shrunk to
3.5" and will be for sale in July.
I was asked how many people I thought would be interested in this jar, so I offered to
mentioned it in this newsletter.
The price is $35. and can be seen at an auction that recently closed.
If you are interested in this jar, I can pass along email addresses to them --
it's not guaranteeing you'll be on a
list, but it might be a start. And when it does come up for sale, if I get advance notice,
I'll notify those people the ordering information as soon as possible.
The email certainly will not be necessary to get one, but it will help make sure you're are notified asap.

Pixie Jars -- Where are they?
If you haven't received your back-ordered Pixies, don't despair they should be arriving soon from their
around the world trip.
Blanchard has been steadily tracking the progress of these little guys on their long journey. For those unaware,
there was a strike on the East Coast and ships could not be unloaded. Well, these little guys wound up waiting offshore
and then decided to head to Panama for a little fun in the sun. Vacation time is over, they've been
corralled and put back on the ship, which is on its way to Baltimore again. As soon as the ship can be unloaded,
the jars will be repacked and headed to you. Guesstimates -- maybe three weeks, two if all goes well.
If you haven't ordered a Pixie jar yet, but still want one, email Curt -- he has plenty coming in.

Pixie Teaser
And if you really like the Pixies, I've heard that Santa might have a special holiday one in his sack. HEAVY on the
word "might". Watch for newsletters later this summer for more information.
Right now nothing is firm on this -- but we'll be some of the first to know.
McCoy Carousel
These jars were shown in a 1965 McCoy catalog, but only two have ever surfaced. And this is the first time
one has been publicly offered for sale. Check out Dan Beem's Carousel jar and read how it came into his possession in the 1970's.
Bids are being taken until July 1st.

Cookie Monster
A cute toy for those that collect everything cookie jar. Plush Cookie Monster is holding a plush jar with a string
of chocolate chip cookies coming out of it. It's a new toy by Gund and I've found a place on the Internet that sells it for
$20., quite a bit less than the suggested retail.
