I purchased two sets of the salt and pepper shakers, in Pigeon Forge, some years ago. We have only been to the mountains a couple of times, over the years. We ate at the Old Mill Restaurant, and stayed in Pigeon Forge, one time. I have lived in FL, since I was 2 years old. During all the hurricanes, scorching weather, and more - the salt and pepper sets have always brought me comfort and peace. They are a reminder of the mountains. I would never buy salt and pepper shakers, always saying, why not use the containers the salt and pepper comes in? That was until I saw the ones made at the 'Old Mill.' Thank you for sharing a little of the mountains with others!
