As I said in the blog roundup post I am having some trouble staying cheerful today. I am generally pretty good about it for the most part but for some reason the day seems to be blanketed with a cloud of liverwurst…and as Anne would say, “Oh Marilla, I am in the depths of despair!”

So I thought I would see what cheerful things I could find! I decided that salt and pepper shakers were just the thing.

I like collecting salt and pepper shakers because they are inexpensive and the ones from the mid 20th century are so humorous sometimes!

Look at these cute monkeys!
I love these elves from the early 50’s. Someone I knew had some like them because I remember seeing them..but I can’t remember who it is/was!
Do you remember Heckle and Jeckle?  I think I would laugh everytime I used these if they were mine!
Check out this KitchenAid salt and pepper shakers.
Why were mushrooms so popular in the 70s? I have no clue but these Hull Mushroom Salt and Peppers  might give you an idea!
The elephants brought a smile to my face as well.
I have this set of shakers!
These aren’t cute, but I just like the texture of hobnail milk glass, you know?
Penguins!

Awwww…Look at these Kissing Squirrels!

Do you collect shakers? Which was your favorite?
