I wax poetic about my wished-for lids - and you can all blame dr momi!
I dream of Tattlers with their endless seal
I dream of them with every apple peel.
I long to end the flats I'm tossing
(and the money I am lossing)
So, Santa, hear my request
As a Good Girl, I am the best...
My Stocking (a large one) will be hung by the fire
Please fill it with Tattlers, the lids I desire.
(Blatant, but effective? Time will tell...)

Cute! I love my Tattler Lids!
LOL! May your Christmas wish come true! I received Tattler lids for Christmas last year...I love them. ....so glad I could inspire the poetic in you :-)
SFG - I have heard nothing but good things about them. Glad to have that reinforced!
dr momi - If Santa doesn't hear me, I will have to gift myself! You are an inspiration!!!
Never hurts to express your wishes! :o] (Dang, where was my head? I should have asked for some this year, too. I don't have any yet and that would have been a good choice for a present under the tree. Or in my stocking. Or, heck, right on the pantry shelf!)
Mama Pea - Yes! The power of positive thought - imagine them on your pantry shelf, and voila! Well, anyway, a little positive thinking never hurt anyone, right?
I must live under ah cabbage...I didn't know tattlers was some sortah canning lid. Ya well ;=/
Hope the "ode" works for you. Sometimes we have to resort to begging, pleading, or just bad poetry! Merry Christmas! And good luck!
:)
I'm thinking that I may have to make the leap this summer to the Tattlers! I hope Santa puts some in your stocking :)
Seems to me a neighbor or two of yours could be talked in to splitting a case or two if they don't materialize in your stocking.
Dear Susan,
These tattler things of which you dream
is something I have never seen!
A google search showed me their use
and I'm afraid your request I must refuse.
These tattler lids I do not have
here at the pole and in my bag.
Because, "good girl", in the north you see
we never can... we always freeze!
Sorry, Love Santa
Spiderjohn
I love your ode to the Tattlers AND Santa's (Spiderjohn) reply!! LOL!!
Nancy - Yes, the best invention since the cordless driver/driller!
Sue - And some of us are worse poets than others...
Erin - I am thinking the same thing. I can a lot and it is such a waste to toss the flats. Although, truth be told, I use my old ones for other things when I can.
Kayten - Hmmmm. I am a neighbor! That's a thought...
Spiderjohn - Well, I hope Santa is NOT reading this! Wonderful poem - you are a natural talent.
Candy - Riot!!!
:D What a jolly post!
Tattlers have I? I do not,
But I have SOMEthing you have sought...
A wee felt doll will wend its way,
but my address-list has gone astray!
Please e-mail it to the place below,
for a Pay-It-Forward Ho-ho-ho!
