Painted Plaster Chalkware 1970s Cookie Monster Wall Hanging! hime decor with wear and some dryness/lightPerhaps it has to do with being a child of the 1970s, but there was no way I could turn my back on this! And hard not to start talking in a Cookie Monster voice and breaking into song when I look at it. Just fun, and handily wired on the back, making for easy hanging somewhere near the cookie jar! Made of chalkware, then hand painted. I especially like that it is deeper at the bottom, allowing for some volume to the many cookies spilling forth. 10 1
