Two New Collectibles

I received two new collectibles as Easter gifts.  One is a set of salt and pepper shakers marked “Japan”.  I particularly like the chubby birds that were made in the late 1930s.  They remind me of the inexpensive dime-store items that my mother, grandmothers and aunts had in their homes at that time.

The second collectible is a good addition to my Dutch items.  This is a tiny calendar with some of the pages still in the holder.  It is marked “Souvenir of Holland”.
