Treasure-Hunting Soothes the Soul Indeed.......

That has been the motto of my Etsy shop and blog from their inception. That motto could not have been truer than when I picked up this beauty at Goodwill yesterday.

I've found a couple wicker bottles in the past,

but this one truly merits being called a demijohn,

measuring 15" tall and 8" diameter at its widest point.

Upon further inspection, on the bottom,

there was a piece of wood with only a few letters.

Thank the gods for Google, I was able to find a match

for the incomplete words, (H. Heye Hamburg), telling me this gorgeous 

treasure came from Germany.

If I didn't purchase this specifically for selling, 

I would sooo keep it.

Look how fabulous it looks with my other treasures.

I also bought this hand mirror the day before.

All brass, with fantastic raised details, and ruffled edges.

I just couldn't stop taking pictures of this grouping.

So much texture and contrast, that is was difficult

to take a bad picture. I think it needs a place in my banner.

This demijohn is definitely the find of my week, or maybe my month,

and is a perfect example of why treasure-hunting soothes

My soul........

Dear Demijohn, it's not you, it's me. I have financial needs 

that outweigh  my love for you. I'm sure you will find

someone on Ebay who will love you more than money.

Farewell, my German friend.......
