It's The Little Things In Life That Count!

It is possible to be an avid collector of something and still not break the bank!  Those darling little vintage novelty salt and pepper shakers always catch my eye.  They can be purchased for a small amount, take up a small space, and yet provide hours of joy seeking out special additions to your own collection.  There are so many different categories describing these little gems.  Huggers, kissers, nodders, stackers, bench sitters, etc., are descriptive categories for the different actions or forms they take on.  I personally love to find those cute little hand painted sets from Japan and Germany.   Anthropomorphic fruit and vegetables as well as colorful animals abound in this category.  A visit to an antique mall is a great way to find a nice selection of these little treasures.  There is something special about holding them in your hands and getting a chance to inspect the art work and condition versus taking a gamble with an online purchase that is well worth the time and effort. Visit South End Antique Mall and get started with your collection soon!
