1970s avocado green giant-eyed caterpillar salt and pepper shakers.

Picked these babies up in Tampa, Florida at a thrift store.

   Really cute little faces. I love their tongues hanging out. I really dig the girl snail’s ( they are snails aren’t they?) hair.

   Such perfect period pieces. Although they have a glaze finish they remind me of these other prize pieces in the AWMOK collection:

     Maybe they are snails…I had been thinking they were caterpillars. Ha! Shows what I know…

     Ken was saying they are probably from a Hydrocal kit.

     Yes, those two banks are very similar. That daisy bunny bank is adorable!

         Maybe they are green slugs.

   Those are amazing! I thought they chipmunks are first glance until I had seen they had no limbs…. So whatever part of the bug family they are…. Very cute.

     They do have a very chipmunk-y face.
