Chrismas cookie jar
My brother's wife gave everyone ceramic cookie jars for Christmas either in the late 1960's or early 1970's. I have lost the feather (quill pen) that should be in Santa's hand as he writes names in his book. She wrote the names of all of the family members in the book. The wastebasket is for bad boys and girls. The 2 buttons on the side of the desk are for bells for reindeer and helicopter. I keep this in the attic and some years I forget to get it out but we will enjoy it this year.

I like the "rug" that Santa's desk sits on!
ReplyDeleteWhat happens to Santa when you take the lid off?
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming cookie jar. Of course, so is the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest Christmas cookie jar ever. Glad you brought him out to enjoy this season.
ReplyDeleteI did go back and look at Bento Box quilt. Your archives is full of inspiration that we should just check every now and then. I had forgotten about this quilt, it is another great piece. I like your choice for backing.

Hi Wanda
ReplyDeleteYet another quilt from your bottomless box of projects. Love the batiks.
And the backing has a funky 50's vibe that strangely enough goes with the batiks.
Have you tried a spare feather from your yard to replace Santa's quill?

Pretty quilt. Is the green and flowered fabric the border?
ReplyDeleteMy mom made the same cookie jar for me! Names on it are from our family, too. I must admit, I have not displayed this in a long time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays from me to you.
Blessings...........
