my vintage collection; salt cellars


These are one of the few "collections" I've got from the auction this past weekend. They will be in the shop this week although I may have to keep one and replace the small jelly jar I've been using for my kosher salt.  Being a shop keeper of vintage housewares you would think I have the best put together kitchen- I don't; I have a dozen mismatched drinking glasses I need to get rid of, and I’m using new as in non-vintage pitcher from Target, what is wrong with me?! You see, when I find something really nice and pretty I would rather list them in my shop than keep them or I'll hang on to them until their novelty wears off then they get listed. I do get obsessed with how my shop looks more than my kitchen obviously J

  1. All my drinking glasses, saucers, plates & bowls are leftovers from those sets of 5 or 7 that always seem to be available! Beautiful cellars!

  2. I feel that way about listing also. I get so excited for a great item that I want to share it right away. Lately, however, I've started keeping some stuff. : )
