Yay For Online Shopping!!

So I had this cookie jar, not the one pictured here, but one exactly like it. It belonged to my mom who got it from her mom back in the early 70's. When we were kids my mom would alway make cookies and store them in her boat cookie jar. I always liked that cookie jar so she gave it to me when I moved out with Darren in 2001. I have been using the jar ever since for my own homemade cookies and now the girls enjoy digging into it for some yummy treats. I keep the cookie jar up on the shelf next to the microwave, well a few weeks ago Erika was bringing the cookie jar down and the lid fell and shattered to pieces! I was so upset, I got mad at her, which I regreted later. I then thought if it meant that much to me I should have had it up so they couldn't reach it, so it was my fault really. Well the next day I started searching online for a new one and lo and behold, I FOUND ONE!!! I was so happy! I found it on an antique website called RubyLane (rubylane.com). So I ordered it right away, cost me $43 in the end, but well worth it. And it arrived today!! (pictured above) That totally made my day I tell ya! And now I have to decide where to keep this one, away from sticky fingers!
I am now hooked on shopping for antiques......oh well, a girl's gotta spend money on something!! Thank you Ruby Lane!!!
