This salt and pepper shaker set belonged to my mother. I played with it as a child. When my parents house suffered damage in the 1994 Northridge, CA, earthquake, I was visiting them. During clean up, I found these undamaged and told Mom that I was taking them home with me. I'm happy to have them, they remind me of my Mother.
The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis
held a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to
make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although
she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its
commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other
countries and it's now celebrated all over the world. She specifically wanted it spelled as a singular possessive noun so that each family could celebrate their own mother.
