When I saw this… thing… in an antique store, it stopped me in my tracks. Normally, a large ceramic figure that’s really a two-part container functions as a cookie jar. But…
First, cookie jars don’t come with salt and pepper shakers. Plus, I found these particular salt and pepper shakers rather creepy.
Second, I would not put my perfectly good chocolate-chip cookies inside a dead bird.
Even a fake one.
So if you know the story behind these whimsical works of art, do tell! There’s room for you in the “Your Turn: Comments Welcome Here” box below the post, and I am truly curious.
After all, everybody has a story… even fake dead birds.
Thanks for reading!

About Jan C. Johnson
Welcome! If you like food, reading, laughing over life's little disasters, and maybe thinking about the bigger things of life, you have come to the right place. Besides blogging, I write humorous fiction, though real life tends to leave fictional humor in the shade. But I'm not a total goofball.
No, really. I've also written a most riveting memoir--not mine, which would be boring, but rather the life story of an obscure pastor in Liberia, West Africa. His hair-raising memories of the Liberian Civil War years make for some suspenseful reading! Discover more under the "My Books" tab.
I live in North Texas with my husband, Brent. We enjoy bicycling, Mexican food, and traveling to visit our kids and grandkids.

Casserole dish? Or a dish to serve something savory in. Perhaps a dead turkey dish. Better than a live turkey dish I suppose, except for the turkey.

My best guess, Jan, is, it’s a very “special” Thanksgiving Holiday gravy boat, complete with,…ahem, “creepy” salt and pepper shakers. It wasn’t accompanied by a ceramic ladle by any chance, was it?
Have a great one!
