Another Cookie Jar Collector
Welcome to my World of Collecting, the World of Cookie Jars. I've been an avid jar collector for over 15 years and probably have over 1500 jars, but I never count them! Advertising cookie jars are my favorites and always looking for one I don't have, whether it be new or old.

I am the editor and publisher of The Cookie Jar Digest, a free online newsletter for cookie jar collectors that has been in publication since 1997. Past issues and subscription form can be found on The Cookie Jar Net.

For over eight years I've been a Guide on About.com writing About Collectibles! What's new, price guides, tips, ideas, collector spotlights, free email newsletter and resources are just a few of the things that are covered in over 5000 pages of content. Check out the web site at Collectibles.About.Com.

Another Lousy Packing Job Yes, it happened again. I bought a cookie jar on eBay, was charged approximately $16. for $8.50 actual postage costs and the item was shipped with about ten pieces of newspaper "gift-wrapping" the jar. No crumpled paper, no bubble wrap, nothing at all to protect the item. The post office clerks laughed at the packing job and I don't blame them, it was ridiculous. And I haven't even received my refund yet! If you take the time to put an item up for sale, take pictures and ship it, be sure it has a chance to get there in one piece. Broken items don't make for a happy buyer or seller -- it's just too much hassle. Read my "How-To" on Packing a Breakable

Friends are the best Collectibles of All
Over the years I've made many friends through the Internet. We all share the same passion and talk the same lanuage. The language of collectors and collectibles. They are my most treasured finds of all.
