Mom's old cookie Jar

I went to my Mom and Dad's house recently and saw something I haven't seen in over two decades.  My Mom's old cookie jar!



Mom brought it down from the closet and placed it on the table recently.  Her mother gave it to her years ago before I even came along, so I'm thinking this cookie jar is from the 60s.

Seeing this kitschy ceramic turtle once again, certainly brought back a lot of good memories.  From Mom's homemade oatmeal raisin cookies she used to fill the jar with, to the way I could skillfully replace the lid without making any noise whatsoever. Seeing my old green pal instantly had me reunified with great memories that I had all but forgotten about.
