3/15/2012...An Update. A Disclosure.
I know miniscule about Italy. Dabble in pockets of its mystery. And write to remember. I am pulled to, enticed by, long for it and things Italian...small and large...and breathable. The people, their language, the texture, the jewel tones of the culture, the sumptuous food, the accumulated centuries of tradition, passion, and Life -- they all nurture me, mesmerize me when I am there.

For a short time (and at the time I began this blog), I was drawn into an adventure with imported Italian pottery, but could not persist. However, The Blog continues & exists as a bit of a playground for me. A place to play, to capture my explorations and the riot of colors, the intricacies of Italy, the artistry of Italian design, the sheer joy of Celebrating Life every day. I've neither a planned destination nor a schedule. It's the Journey that draws me. I welcome your company, yet ask you to understand, I do this for me.

Biscotti cookie jars make me smile! How 'bout you?

Frutta Biscotti Cookie Jar

Firenze Biscotti Cookie Jar

Girasole Biscotti Jar

I hear you're not supposed to have "favorite" children...but Biscotti Cookie Jars are the exception to almost all my "rules." I don't know whether it's all their fun shapes...or their job of housing special treats...or just the plain fun of saying the word B I S C O T T I !!! How can you look at them without smiling??!!

I'll bet the sunflower in the Girasole pattern follows the sun. And, if you ever run out of lemons for tea or cooking, just borrow one from the Frutta jar. These three are just a tease...there are other designs and shapes in MyItalianPottery's Biscotti Cookie Jar collection.
