Someone told me a great idea for some of these #Cookie Jars. That a lot of them could be used as utensil holders. This Quaker Oats jar would have been perfect for that & as I didn't really expect it to sell I was planning on doing some pics. Alas, sold for $5. They are available at all price points.

5 pictures of a Quaker Oats cookie jar. It looks just like a regular quaker oats canister, but it is made out of ceramic. The pictures are of different angles.

I'd never heard of nor seen Joe Carioca before trying to find information on this #Cookie Jar. Made by "Walt Disney", this Turnabout Donald Duck / Joe Carioca jar must have been made based on some sort of cartoon before my time. I've seen them for over $75, sold this for $36.

6 picture collage of a Donald Duck / Joe Carioca cookie jar. The front had Donald Duck, the back has a parrot named Joe Carioca. This is based on some sort of cartoon, perhaps Donald's split personality or something. The pictures are of different angles of the jar as well as just the lid (which is the head) and the base.

Sometimes you sleep well, wake up early, & get too excited thinking about making #Blueberry #Scones for your family to even attempt to go back to sleep. #Baking #BakeSky #Breakfast #GlutenFree

A collage of 3 pictures of scone mixing, assembly, and finished product.
1st pic is of the finished blueberry scones arranged on a wood cutting board providing a decent backdrop for an amateur baking picture taker.
The 2nd is of mixed ingredients for the scones. There are 2 bowls, one for wet ingredients already whipped, and one for dry ingredients already mixed. There is also a container of blueberries shown.
The third pic is of sliced butter. This butter is then cross-cut to make small pieces and incorporated into the dry ingredients. You can see this small pieced butter pile on the top of the dry ingredients picture before it is mixed in.
