I don’t like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets.

Position yourself as a
center of influence, the one

shakers. People will

Fashion has always been nourished by the past. At the end of the day, where the inspiration comes from doesn’t matter. It’s what you do with it. How you treat it, how you translate it into a contemporary wardrobe. You put it in a shaker.

He’d thought he was lost, but now he recognized that eternity was around him, like salt from a shaker or stars in the sky.

We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams. World-losers and world-forsakers, Upon whom the pale moon gleams; Yet we are the movers and shakers, Of the world forever, it seems.

I studied every page of this book, and I didn’t find enough love to fill a salt shaker. God is not love in the Bible; God is vengeance, from Alpha to Omega.

I had always been told the bible was a book about love, but I couldn’t find enough love in it to fill a salt shaker. God is not love in the bible; God is vengeance. There is no other book between whose covers life is so cheap.

The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small, skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker of her region because she knew how powerless a person could be WITHOUT words.

Great opportunity for technology/media companies to meet the movers and shakers in the broadcast and media industries.

If I made laws for Shakers or a school, I should gazette every Saturday all the words they were wont to use in reporting religious experience, as “spiritual life,” “God,” “soul,” “cross,” etc., and if they could not find new ones next week, they might remain silent.

Before I go to meet my Maker, I want to use the salt left in my shaker. I want to find out if it’s true The Blue Danube is really blue, Before I kiss the world goodbye.

Some people think God is going to guide those humans. The Oneida community and the Shakers both believed that they had received revelations about how to build the New Jerusalem that the Bible says is coming
