...Birthday Week...Sister Presents...

...y'all know that birthdays around here often spread out a week or more...

...this was the first gift to arrive...Jack was very interested...and the 'traveling birthday card'...is in there...

...such a pretty thing...I love it...

...I talked to my sweet sissie...and she said it is a sugar shaker...most of my other Blue Willow...including my great grandmother's plate are Churchill...but a quick search of the interwebs tells me that this one is Moriyama from Japan...

...it didn't have a stopper...so I made one from a wine cork...

...just trimmed it down to fit in the hole...it's not actually cork...so I'll try and get a natural one soon...

...it fits perfectly and keeps the sugar inside...

...and the pretty little shaker holds the place of honor in my kitchen window...where I'll see it every day...

~Have a lovely day!
