I had been eyeing this pair of salt and pepper shakers for months and months in an antiques and collectibles store downtown. Kept telling myself I couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't spend the $16 for this pair of 1950's gossiping gals in their (almost-but-not-quite) matching hats.
Today I realized that I spend at least that much on coffee and soda in a month. Duh! Brita pitcher, meet re-usable, bisphenol-A free bottle. Now I'm drinking less soda, more water and best of all enjoying these cute-as-cupcakes treasures.
Don't you LOVE them? Me too!
