Among other things, we started buying salt and pepper shakers---they are interesting, memorable, sometimes clever, and almost always cheap! Someday, I hope to give a dinner party and give every guest a different set of shakers at their plate.
Here is our growing collection thus far:
 |
| Decaf or regular? Two glass coffee pot salt and pepper shakers sitting on a hot plate. |
 |
| Vintage mementos of Maine. Thrifted by my sister, Meredith. Thanks Mer! |
 |
| Chang (left) and Kwang-se, the fated lovers whose story is painted on Blue Willow dinnerware. We use this set of salt and peppers everyday with my grandmother's Blue Willow dishes. |
 |
| Ring! Ring! Early "magneto telephone" salt and peppers. Salt and pepper are stored in the gold bells at the bottom. |
 |
| Two hens. 1940s. Made in Japan. |
 |
| Two Irish Post Boxes. A contemporary memento from my sister Jenna's 2010 trip to Ireland. Thanks Jen! |
