My sister and I recently ran the trash and treasure stall at the Fairfield Primary School’s annual ‘A Fair To Remember’, and my most favourite purchase of the day were these super kitsch salt and pepper shakers.

I bought them in the clearing sale at the end of the event … I can’t believe they weren’t snaffled by someone straight away!  I like the colours, I love the eyebrows and eyelashes,and I particularly enjoy how one pig is reclining.  And they remind me of my youth.  When I was at uni the kitchen at the Newry hotel in North Fitzroy had a memorable collection of kitsch salt and pepper shakers.  Perhaps with these I will start one myself …
