The Cookie Jar Digest

Crumbs from my jar . . .

I haven't put out all our Halloween jars this year, but do have a few favorites on the mantel, including the Abingdon pumpkin, McCoy Coalby cat and Fitz and Floyd Witch. No Abingdon witch jar yet -- one of my four holy grails.

But I do have a Halloween jar for you. Like The Cookie Jar Net on Facebook page on Facebook. On October 1, I'll have someone else pick a lucky reader to get a Halloween jar from my collection. And if you don't want to be that lucky, you can alway decline and another reader will be picked.

Happy collecting,
~barb

AUCTION REPORT
The Henleys went to a farm auction last week that had several jars and reported back: "The McCoy green Turkey Cookie Jar was sold for 240. The other jars such as the coffee grinder, the strawberry, the pepper, brought $25 to $40. Basket went for $40, a really good Dutch Girl only brought 20.00. The planters anywhere from 2.00 to 70.00 (hunting dog). So a good auction for the buyers!">

REMINDER: FACEBOOK LINKS
I know a lot of you are on Facebook and in fact follow me. Which is probably boring most of the time! I am jumping on the bandwagon along with others and have created two pages for Cookie Jar Collectors. One will be for news, links, happenings, etc. You can also post jars you might have for sale here, as long as it is not overdone. It's all a test right now to see how it works out.
