First off, there's a story about these salt and pepper shakers. Last February in Florida, Debbie and I took a little field trip to find any interesting quilt shops within driving distance. We honestly didn't find much to write home about, but we did find a good lunch spot. Not a fancy place, but a good sandwich. The dining area was a bunch of picnic tables on a screen porch. There were nice little covered salt and peppers on the tables, the lid was hinged and sealed nicely to keep the moisture out. Lots of moisture in the air down there! I had never seen a shaker like this before, and I thought it would be very practical for the trailer. Not only keeping the moisture out, but keeping the stuff inside if tipped over. Things tend to tip over a lot when the trailer is towed down the road, so I have to give extra attention to making sure everything is secured. When we left the establishment, I asked the young woman at the counter where they could be purchased. A very young woman. The look on her face was priceless! It said "Why is this grandma lady asking me about salt shakers?? Why would I know anything about salt shakers? Why would I ever care?" To her credit, she didn't burst out laughing! She did ask someone else about it, and said they were from the dollar store. Debbie was cracking up all the way to the dollar store! No shakers to be found there, so I ended up ordering them on Amazon. Two sets, so I could give one to Debbie!
