Dreaming of Cookie Jars.

*Um, I took down the picture of one of the cookie jars. Husby gently told me that it looked like a not-very-nice body part. I HAD NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, sorry about that. I thought it was a weird cartoon character!!!!!*

When I get an idea, I dwell on it until it is fulfilled. It's as if I can't think of anything else BUT whatever it is and my mind won't rest until it is seen to completion.

I'm not sure what triggered it, but the other morning I had an intense desire to own a cookie jar and fill it with fantastical cookies. Weird? Maybe.

But I am now on a quest to find THE perfect cookie jar.

I don't want just any cookie jar. I want it to be nice. And pretty. And unique. And inviting. And intriguing. And timeless. I want others to see the jar and just HAVE to open it to see the contents. I want my kids to always remember the cookie jar and have fond memories of sneaking in the kitchen to snatch a goodie out. I want my children's friends to come over and head straight for the jar. I want to always have an assortment of cookies residing inside. I want to pass down this cookie jar to my children. Why a cookie jar, you may be asking yourself.

I have no idea.

The idea just popped up and I liked it. Momma Whitney's Cookie Jar.

With all this said, I have such pressure in finding the PERFECT one. Big? Small? Round? Square? Toile? Designed? Plain? Jadeite? Glass? AHHHH.

If I wanted to freak out everyone who walked into the kitchen and scare away house guests, I could get this one:



(I mean seriously, does this kid have the measles?! Who has freckles on their EARS?)

Or if I wanted to be labeled as the "Scary Lady with the Creepy Cookie Jar" for the rest of my life, I could get this one:



I pity the fool who owns this one:




Geeze, there are some freaky looking cookie jars out there. Terrifying.

So now that we know what I DON'T want, let's check out more along the lines of what I was thinking.

Think Tuscany.



Too bad this set is $582. (!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Think Italian.



Umm.. $428. Why are the ones I like too outrageously priced to ever own?!

Or this...
