Winnie the Pooh Cupboard

What a surprise while visiting the Disney Stores the past week. Winnie the Pooh's Cupboard was just sitting there behind the counter. It was brand new to me, I did a double take and said is that one for sale? I want it!

After telling my fellow cookie jar collector Nancy about the jar, she called me saying she couldn't find that jar. But, at "her" Disney store they had the Three Villains, no -- that was not at "my" Disney Store. Hmmmm. . . . .

Next, I received a few emails about the Tinker Bell on the Treasure Chest. By this time I decided Disney had decided to borrow the sales tactics of Warner Bros. with a cookie jar a week. BUT, this was three jars in about one weeks time.

A few days went by and I decided to visit the Disney Store again to see if they had the Three Villains jar or Tinker Bell on a Treasure Chest. Unfortunately NO! But, I couldn't believe my eyes -- you know the feeling, there it is across a crowded room, your eyes meet -- and it is love at first sight. <p>Next - Alice in Wonderland
