We found these vintage salt & pepper shakers at a garage sale a few months ago. They are silver-plated and screw off to reveal a glass holder for both the salt and pepper. Really unique.

Saw some lovely mason jar candle holders on Pinterest yesterday. Since I have a ton of them, I decided to make a few myself: I took some vintage sheet music and ripped it on both sides so it would fit around each jar.
