Ever since I have been able to remember, this Mr. Lemonhead salt shaker has lived on my mother’s windowsill. And that is a very long time. I think the pepper shaker had an orange head, but alas, Mrs. Orangehead died a long long time ago in an ugly crash off the windowsill. He just couldn’t survive in a house where five children lived. A few years ago, Mr. Lemonhead moved to my sister’s house to live.
Ever since then, I have searched every thrift shop and antique shop in every town that Fabgrandpa and I have stopped in, looking for another Lemonhead salt shaker. It is like an obsession with me, because I feel that I MUST have one of these for my home.
I know that the salt and pepper shakers that my mother owned could not be the only set ever made. So, I am asking all my readers, if you happen to go to an antique shop or a thrift shop, in your town or in your travels, would you please look to see if there is a Mr. Lemonhead there? And if there is, would you please buy it for me? I will be very happy to send the bail for Mr. Lemonhead, and, if by chance Mrs. Orangehead is with him, for her, too!

I will look! I love thrifting and maybe I’ll find one for you. Though he’s so cute…it might be hard to send him away!!
