Please Pass the Salt and Pepper...

I was going to title this post

"You've got mail." 

But you don't. 

I've got mail!

I got the cutest little card.

And a pair of these...

 Salt and Pepper Shakers! 

I told myself if I ever came across a pair of these little shakers

... I was going to scoop them up and run home with them as fast as I could. 

Because of this....

Aren't they cute together? 

My Grandmother had a set of these when I was growing up.

I used to have a pair of these; 

I had gotten them from a dear sweet neighbor lady long ago; I always loved them. 

She gave the set to me, when I showed interest in them.

... unfortunately one of mine was broken years ago and the other is lost.

( No one remembers what  MYSTERIOUSLY became of that other shaker.) 

I still have the butter dish, and it sits on my window ledge above my kitchen sink everyday. 

Inside it holds little surprises , that I come about from time to time- 

(choking hazards really...that little eyes spot before I do!)

My butter dish stands alone no more! 

...And so the story goes... 

These were given to me by a neighbor...

this time a bloggy neighbor.

Thank you Pat, at  JUNK BLOSSOMS!

Aren't they cute? 

I  just wanted to share what has been shared so generously with me. 

God Bless you today.
