Here are the pics of the vintage salt and pepper shakers my grandma inherited from her mom!! I LOVE them. these are not even all of them they couldn't all fit in cabinet! My cousin Sabrina took these pics and I made her send them to me! My favorite are the dutch kids, the pregnant lady in the back with her hubby, and the coffee pots. My great grandparents owned a restaurant in Iowa and I think thats what started her S&P collection! My grandma hinted that since I collect S&P shakers as well she is thinking of giving them to me!!! wwweeeeee !!!
Also this past week I have received some swap goodies!!! a pillowcase and a cross stitch from Katie I am sssooo in love with the pillowcase!!! thank you thank you! And today I got a swap package from Serendipity_sarah she made me "finger-tip mitts" with the cutest fabric EVER! its all famous places in California !! love it! here are some pictures of them!
My brother already used them to move a boiling pot! He was actually really impressed (he's 18 he doesn't think crafting is cool) these will be PERFECT for baking some cookies!!! mmmmm mmm mmm ! anyways I can't waiiiiitt to get my apron in another Swap I am in!

What a collection! And from a family member as well. What a gift it would be to receive those. I am loving them all. Great Post. And what a great treasure.
Now that's quite a collection of S&P shakers! Wowey! How fun that you are the one that stands to inherit them. Enjoy...
If your grandma sends them to you, where would you put them all? That is one serious collection! I like the giraffes in the back.
WOW!!! What a nice collection. Have you ever counted them?
WOW! What a collection! Love it! I have some Ransburg roosters S+P shakers, but thats it.
just want to say you do beautiful work, and i don't understand where you find the time!
thanks for the props. much appreciated. i'm in the works on a list of my faves as well.
I was gonna mention when you posted this and I forgot: I first saw the preggers granny salt & pepper set in an issue of BUST magazine, so when I saw them in your picture of your grandma's collection it was like "wow! It really *does* exist!" Celebrity housewares sighting. ;)
So, I totally just pawed through every copy of BUST I own, and scoured their website, and can't seem to find the article about the Pregnant Granny S&P shakers. I tend to pillage my magazines every few months for collage-able images, then recycle the rest, and sadly, it probably got thrown out.
It was a couple years ago or more, methinks, and about the social implications of the joke...just a little side column piece.
