Salty and Peppy

What fun!! Really puts a smile on my face when I see a pair of these little wooden salt and pepper shakers at a yard sale, antique shop or flea market. Salty and Peppy!! These are usually very inexpensive and are just a neat thing to collect.

Ceramic Flower Frogs

When is a fish not a fish? When it is a frog. Two ceramic flower frogs I picked up this year. The one on the right still retains it original label - Royal Haeger

Fish Bowls - Ceramic Cats with glass bowls

I really only wanted the black one, but I couldn't justify breaking up the pair.

Both are in great condition; no chips, cracks, etc.

TIKI MUGS

I go to a lot of yard sales and an occasional flea market. I've put together this modest collection of tiki mugs over the past year or so. I've only paid 50 cents to a dollar apiece. This was the collection as of 6/5/09.






Stopped off at Olde Abington Country Store this Saturday (great antique shop here in MA) and got these neat tiki items. A pair of salt and pepper shakers from Kon Tiki Ports, 2 Hawaii souvenir pieces and another mug.
