my motto

I found these salt and pepper shakers at a swap meet a few years ago for a dollar and as i'm a lover of kitsch and a total hispanophile who doesn't like to spend much i couldn't believe my luck.


And even though i don't use a lot of salt and pepper, when i look around we seem to have our fair share of shakers. This gorgeous helix pair were handed on by a friend who was getting rid of stuff his ex had given him and happily for us she was a great trawler of ebay for vintage bakelite.


These yellow woven ones were an op shop find and the 60s pair in front were given to us by Mr M's mum when she cleared a load of junk out for a white elephant stall. Never be too proud to take people's junk, you could wind up with treasures - that's what i always say.
