Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday

If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a really good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to
read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week. Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies on display that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much. Lastly, try to make an effort to visit the other participants. I know myself, I get so behind and busy, but this year, I am going to do my best to visit each week. 

A couple of weeks ago, I went with my mom on a Birthday outing. And as you can imagine, as it sometimes goes, I found things for myself while on an outing for her! !! We had a great time, and she just laughed at me when I debated on whether or not to bring this adorable cookie jar home.


This was at a local shop that is run by a local antique dealer named "Junker Val" She used to have a place at the old Stockyards barns at their flea market. I had no idea she was still not at the same place, but she has left the barns flea market. She has her own shop and it is filled with all kinds of goodies!


I had on one of my Doxie sweatshirts and she noticed that right away and asked me if I wanted to see her Dachshund cookie jar. I said NO....right away, but she was not having any of that! And of course, when I saw it, I fell in love with it! It is old as can be and I have NEVER seen another one like it. I told her I'd think about it and we left her shop and walked next door to look in a clothing boutique.

As we got in the car to leave the shopping area, I decided to go back in and get it! She laughed out loud when I walked back in the doors....I am sure she thought, Yep, there is a sucker born every minute!! Oh, and did you notice, I did not mention what I paid for this?? Simply because it was not one of my bargain finds.


There are no labels that I can find at all, but you can see the bottom has lots of crazing. I asked her if she had found it local and she could not remember. She said it might have been in some things that someone brought in to sell to her one weekend. Either way, it has a good home with me! My friend said I should sell it online, that it might fetch a pretty penny!


I said, no thanks....it looks rather pretty on my kitchen counter!! What about you?? Have you ever seen a cookie jar like this one?? 

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!

  9. That cookie jar is adorable! I don't blame you for not wanting to sell it. You'll smile everytime you take a cookie from the jar. Or it would be really cute for doggie biscuits.

  13. No, never have a seen a cookie jar like that one. It does look very old. I'm glad you went back. We are all so used to paying less for things that when something we really want we have to pay full price it makes us feel bad. Feel good about your great find.

  15. The cookie jar is so adorable. I'm from Arlington, so I've been to Junker Val's and the Barn Flea Market. Junker Val conducts estate sales, so I've heard through the grapevine that she gets a lot of her stuff from those estate sales.

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!
