AUTUMN SALTBOXES
This design idea was inspired by Polaroid-style photos. Remember when you'd shoot an instant camera, and then after removing the photo, you'd shake it to get it to hurry up and develop faster? I combined that concept with a shaker house theme and came up with The Salt Shakers (Autumn Saltboxes).
