I'm curious, too - did your friend, or her family, actually use it as both a photo holder and for salt and pepper? It seems a curious combination!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-64348325971877931572013-01-30T01:21:44.529+09:302013-01-30T01:21:44.529+09:30Hello from SpAin, i like TV.
