(Update: One of the officers told my husband that they believe they found the two young men and have arrested them, somewhere else in the tract. WHEW! Still a large police presence over here, they told my husband that they will be around for awhile.
I'm so upset and rattled! The two robbers had to have walked right past my window and also past the open window, in the room where my husband is painting, and neither of us heard or saw a thing. So very unsettling!)

(Please visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady for more Vintage Thingie Thursday fun!)I found it! I found my cookie jar!
This is my beloved cookie jar from my childhood. It was always filled with homemade Congo Bars (a chocolate chip bar cookie) or Peanut Butter Cookies. I loved baking cookies with my mom. I loved eating the Congo Bars best but I loved making the PB ones more - pressing the tines of the fork into the cookie ball tops was so much fun!
My mother heard about a woman who made cookie jars and had this one made for her. My mom loved English cottages and I think this is a perfectly cozy and yummy one, don't you? I wish I could lift the lid and find some freshly baked (by Mom!) cookies inside.
I love that it has an inscription on the bottom and the year it was made, so wonderful. It lives in my curio cabinet now, I'm too afraid to use it and hurt it. I'm a total klutz and breakables, well they break quickly around here.

ReplyDeleteSo sweet; I love thinking of you and your Mom making cookies! I did this with my Mom, even when I was three yrs old. She would set me on a stool and I would watch. I have been fascinated with baking, ever since! I love your cookie jar and the magic memories with your Mom!

This cookie jar is charming! Isn't it wonderful that the mere sight of something brings back memories, not only of words or images but smells, too. Peanut butter cookies...I can smell them from here!
