PICK A JAR!
For the next few months I'll have a series of fun polls up on favorite classic cookie jars and jar companies. It's simple, just pick your favorite jar out of the two shown.
Poll #1

MOLLIE THE LADYBUG
Target currently has three jars in the housewares section. The ladybug, a monkey eating a banana and a whiimsical frog. Also offered are go-withs such as plastic plates and cups that are perfect for the kids. The jars are $9.95 each.

TARGET CUPCAKE JAR
It's killing me! Two days after Christmas I was in a Super Target that was in the process of putting out their Valentine goodies. On the top shelf was one -- just one -- cupcake jar, design matching some of the other pieces. I picked it up saw the price was $14.95 and thought about getting it. Surely it will still be around in another week or two. Nope. It wasn't in that store three days later and have never seen it in another store. I've seen at least one on eBay, so I know I didn't "dream it". Oh well. . .

VALENTINE JARS
If you decorate seasonally, it's time to start thinking about Valentine jars -- a few I can think of include the Boyds Bailey Low Fat, conversation hearts jar (shown behind the tree), the I Love You jar shown here, and the California Cleminsons Way to a Man's Heart jar (currently on eBay).

What Valentine jars can you think of or do you have?

ICE CREAM ADVERTISING JAR
I mentioned this jar in the last issue, but never ordered it. When I went to finally buy it, it's ON SALE! Price is now $49.95 and yes, I finally ordered it.

MICKEY & MINNIE OVEN JAR
Do you have this jar? If you have it and are interested in selling, let me know. A reader is looking to replace their broken jar and I'll forward your email directly to the reader.

COOKIE JAR RESOURCES
A few jars have been added to the Cookie Jar Resource pages, but I'm always looking for more pictures to use. Right now I'd like to find a good picture of the Purinton Howdy Doody jar. Can anyone help?
