Crumbs from my jar....
Contest winner is announced below, so read down to the bottom!
Last fall I wrote a few reviews for eBay, I'm close to moving up to the next tier of reviewers and
would really appreciate some help getting over the next hurdle. Further down I have links to the reviews,
if you read them and feel they are helpful, please vote that is was helpful. Moving up will help
make the Reviews and Guides more visible, which will hopefully help combat the fraud issue.
Until next time,

DON WINTON BLOG
Don and Norma have joined the rest of the bloggers and now have their own blog. Be sure to post a comment or just
stop by and say hello.
When you are there, click on the cookie jar images on the right hand side of the page. It will take you to a Flickr page
we set up for them. There are several treasures for sale, price is listed below the pictures of the ones that are still available.
If you're interested in any, just go back to the blog and email the Wintons.
WARNING -- there is one that I am particularly interseted in and if it doesn't sell in the next few days, I'm buying it!

DISNEY LE JARS -- As mentioned in the last newsletter, the Disney limited edition jars
typically hold and increase their values after the edition has been sold out. I put a few prices realized
up on the web site. Including a few that have sold for double the value and are still available on the Disney Auctions
web site. . . . I sure hope no one reading this is paying more than double, when a little bit of research
will get you the jar at issue price!
If the jar is a recent issue and is not currently on the DisneyAuctions.com web site, don't worry, it will show
up again. I am pretty sure none of the editions of the last six months has sold out.
The Three Patriots Liberty Bell is limited to 150 and is terrific, but so are most of the others.
New
jars in the last month include Beauty and the Beast, Three Little Pigs and Uncle Scrooge driving his truck full of
money.

Kaboodle
eBay recently forged a partnership with Kaboodle to allow collectors a chance to do a MyCollectibles Page.
I decided to try it out and see how it works. First of all -- it's extremely easy to do. ANYONE that is reading
this newsletter and has any of their collection on their computer can do it in a very short while. I guarantee it!
I put my page up in less than fifteen minutes. It's not for everyone, for instance if you are web-savvy and have your
own web site, you probably wouldn't want to mess with this. Although it does have advantages of getting more exposure
for your web site.
Check out my page and if you decide to put one up, let me know and I'll link to it. While you're at it, if you "like"
my page, please vote for it. Please??
Chocolate Chip's Cookie Jar Collecting
While I am solicting votes -- how about popping over to my Cookie Jar Reviews the next time you are on eBay.
I would also appreciate some votes there. I would like to move up to the next tier of reviewers, it will
help bring these pages up when folks are clicking on auctions that have the same keywords. It's one small
way to combat fakes and frauds on eBay.

LATEST GARAGE SALE FINDS
Added a few new finds to my Garage Sale Picture gallery, including a blue cobalt glass jar filled with
marbles, but has Mills Bakery and Homestyle Brand Cookies molded on the side of the jar.

PEE & POO TOYS
Okay, nothing whatsoever to do with cookie jars, but
Jim posted this on his blog and I had to
put it up on the Collectibles site. I've not had a single comment on it so far, so I can't decide
if it just grossed lots of folks out. Or they thought nothing of it. Of course my daughter decided
these would be perfect to go with a jar that JD James gave her a few years ago that she still displays in her
bathroom and loves. (To put it politely it was a pile of manure with a big fly on it.)

From Last Issue:
WALLACE AND GROMIT TEA CADDY
If you're familiar with the movie, you'll love this jar -- if you're not, you'll wonder what it's all about.
I've watched the movie with my grandson and must admit
that even if it's not one of my top picks,
I'll probably wind up getting the jar from Cardew.
I did chat with them and the shipping price to the US is £15.
