My cheapest one yet!!

 Hi there friends...
We've been so busy around here the last few weeks with my oldest graduating 8th grade this past Friday...her semi formal...and all the class trips they took in the last month (and I made sure I went on every one of them!). Their school definitely goes all out for the graduating class...they make them feel super special!
 Her year was filled with many special memories! 
~~~
I can't believe she's going to start high school in September and we all know how fast those 4 years go! 
We are so proud of our girl!!  
~~~
Ok... let's get on with the post now!
I still can't believe I only paid $1.50 for this demijohn! You heard me right only $1.50!!!
I found it in my favorite antique store in Connecticut.
It's a great size and it's in perfect condition.

 I'd definitely say this was a good find!!
Have a great week!

Fantastic!! Someone slipped up and priced that too low. Great that you found it! Going to a sale this Friday and I hope I can find some great deals like this one....

Kelly said...

Good grief that was a great find! I can't believe how cheap it was. That person obviously didn't know what they had.

My granddaughter just had her 8th grade graduation too and the school went all out. When I was growing up there was only two grads, high school and college. Things have change. I have never heard of a demijohn before, it is very pretty.

What a great deal Martina. Every once in awhile you find just what you want for the perfect price and those times make flea and antiquing so very much fun. Love your new addition.

Love that demijohn. I have never seen one for sale and I know that the shops near me would not sell it for $1.50.

Congrats on your daughter's promotion. Yes, the years zip by in high school. We moved to our current home when our daughter was in her junior year of high school. We are now going on 18 years in the house and it seems like no time at all.

Shabby chic Sandy said...

It is always so fun to find something cheap and delightful! My babies are going into high school next year--it is so weird! I can't believe how fast kids grow up. :)

Donna said...

Wow, great find! Love it.
