"Thursday; May12, 2016"

Three shelves laden with a modest collection of salt and pepper shakers adorn my kitchen.  The allure of the S&P shakers remains a mystery … they simply appeal.

A small (4") image of a rabbit girl holding a bouquet of daisies is tucked amid the S&P. The figurine, produced by Demdaco, is titled "Woodsong -- A Special Day."

The fey rabbit fits nicely among the shakers. She was added because she makes me smile, and I believe in finding happiness even in the smallest of things whenever possible.

"Salt & Pepper of the Day -- Well ... Almost"

I recently discovered a vintage salt and pepper set while treasure hunting.  It's made by the Carrigaline Pottery Co., Ltd. of County Cork, Ireland.   

The set is similar to this pair ... white porcelain, gold trim, and signature shamrocks. They are not, however, in the figural shape of a castle and tower.  They are the same height as the smaller piece shown above but have a button top, a beveled body, and taper to a fat little bottom that sits neatly into the hand.  

I couldn't find an image of the set I found, so i'm giving you the next best thing.  The set is very lovely.

"S&P of the Day -- Vintage 'Wildfire' by Hall"

It's always fun to discover new information about collection pieces ... I discovered the name and manufacturer of this set of S&P ... "Wildfire (Radiance)" by Hall ... and added it to the other tidbits of information I have on pieces in my collection.  The age of the set is still TBD.  It is one of my favorite sets because of the size and heft (4.25") of the pieces.  They are large, but fit comfortably in one's hands.
