About a month ago, Mike and I took a REALLY long road trip to TN and NC for another funeral and to go help my parents get their house ready to sell. We found ourselves in Gatlinburg, TN in-between and happened upon the World's ONLY Salt and Pepper Museum!
The owner has personally collected over 20,000 different sets of shakers and has lots of them on display to see in this modest house connected to the flapjacks house we had breakfast at.
They had fun shakers...
...and branded shakers...
...kitty cat shakers..
...froggy shakers...
...little duck in a tub shakers...
...and shakers of about every other animal...
...walls and walls of shakers...
...toilet shakers...
...and last, but not least, some of my favorites from the "Americana Memorabilia" section
There were SOOO many other amazing, cool, unique shakers... but I think they'd take up my WHOLE blog if I posted them all!
It's amazing what someone can do with focus and passion and this was proof of one woman's love for collecting. How cool! Next time you're in Gatlinburg be sure to check it out!
