Above The Salt

Posted by MAKMU ta On Tuesday, May 24, 2011 No comments

A busy Tuesday --
shopping with both my daughters,
and a visit to the alterations lady for Alida's wedding gown,
Anne's bridesmaid's gown, and my M.O.B. dress.

 Just enough time to share with you some pictures of my mother's salt cellars.
 She had 8 of them, with tiny spoons.
 But these are not those spoons, although they were packed in with them.
 As I recall, she had very tiny pewter spoons.  Maybe shell design?
Anyone know where they are?
These are Norwegian silver demitasse spoons.  Too large for the tiny salt cellars.
Mom loved using these salt cellars for dinner parties.
Usually they were not used for dinners where children were present,
as we thought it was more fun to play in the "sand" than use them as intended.

Look!  This one has rolled over on its back in surrender.
That's it for Tuesday.
Wish us luck in shopping.  Oh, such a chore!
