Pass The Salt and Pepper, Please

I'm participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday again, hosted by Colorado Lady. Go visit and see others who are posting their vintage thingies.


As you know by now, I love to collect things. Too many things! But most of my collections don't cost me much money, I get them at thrift stores and yard sales.

For Vintage Thingies Thursday I'm sharing with you my vintage salt and pepper shakers.
Most of these I only paid 25 cents to one dollar for them.

Here are a couple of cuties.......my bride and groom

Turn them around and you have them quite a few years later!

Here are some wooden apple shakers and Snap! (of Snap, Crackle and Pop fame) and an iron.

Here are a pair of turquoise plastic ones and 2 tiny sets of glass ones.

We have a little cook on the left and
I love these bee hive ones with the bee on top.
I have a small creamer that match them.

I think these 2 cats are so funny! One says I'm Pep and the other says I'm Salt!
There's a pretty bird shaker hiding from them in the back.

Here are some more birds and cats.

Here's another cat and two glass owl shakers.

Here are two corn on the cobs and an aluminum
(at least I think they are aluminum)
apple and pear shaker.

Here's a donkey carrying his load of salt and pepper
and some haystacks with matching vinegar and oil.

Here is a little girl leaning over to kiss her partner (but I don't have her partner)
and three pears and a cute little pair of lamps shaker.

Here are the old aluminum ones and two vintage Fiesta shakers of different colors.

And here is one of my favorites.
These are Corn King made by Shawnee.
I love Corn King. I only paid two dollars for these.

I added these to my collection today. I took some things down to the thrift store and just had to look around for a few minutes. I'm glad I did. I wasn't sure what they were when I bought them, but when I got home I checked in my Fiesta book and they are Riviera. Aren't they pretty? I only paid 50 cents for them.

So as you can see, I have lots of salt and pepper shakers! I keep buying them, because they are little and I say to myself they don't take up too much room. Most of them are made in Japan.

Some of them don't have mates, but that doesn't keep me from buying them. I have bought singles before and later find it's mate at another yard sale.

Which one is your favorite?
