Blue Salt and Pepper Art

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ These are my blue salt and pepper shakers.
I bought them at Horsham in the north-west of Victoria many years ago as a souvenir when I travelled by car from Adelaide to Sydney.
I have always kept them as an ornament. They seem too pretty to use.

Sweet Repose said...: I love the Delft blue...my memories are strung out all over my house, some things you just have with you forever, there is a beauty there that just won't accept parting, for this parting would be such sweet sorrow for sure.

I'm just a hopelessly romantic junk collector from way back...I know you know what I mean! Ha!
