kitchen jars

It might sound weird coming from a guy, but I have always been something of a collector. I remember having quite a few shoe boxes filled with odds and ends when I was a kid. I remember never throwing anything away in case I would want it later. I went through the stage where I saved all of my toys and all of my tiny army soldiers. I remember my mom telling me that one day I would regret saving everything I had ever owned and that I couldn't be a collector forever or I'd never find a house big enough for all my stuff. She might have been even more upset had she known that I would start to collect cookie jars as an adult. I have no real idea when or why exactly I began to collect cookie jars. All I remember is that one day I became extremely intrigued by them and that I started purchasing them whenever I could.
