Crumbs from my jar....
Yes, I am still around -- a needed break was taken! And this is the perfect time to get back into the swing of things
with lots of fun stuff showing up and going on.
I need a picture of the Abingdon Witch jar for the web site -- also if you have one for sale, let me know, along with the price. I have a possible
buyer.

NEW YORK GIFT SHOW
- - - - - - - - - - -
I spent a few days in August at the gift show and found so much stuff it's been a little overwhelming getting it all
on line. The the first few weeks have been spent updating Halloween content, soon I'll be adding more cookie jar content.
I had a chance to see the Snow White jar from Lenox, small but beautiful. Lots of fun Vandor pieces, a few unusual
pieces from Cereal Art and the great pieces from Paris & BeeBee. Keep an eye on the Collectibles web site, as well as
the front page of The Cookie Jar Net for updated information.
