Y’all know I love junkin’.

Y’all know I crush on Milk Glass, but there another item that stops me in my tracks when I find them.

Vintage glass bottles.

DIY Clipboard Art

They are so dreamy, bright and clear, reflecting the light as it passes through, adding dimension without the bulk.

There is one glass item that I have hunted and hunted for with complete failure.

Demijohns

Do you know what they are? They are large, European, bulbous blown glass pieces with a narrow neck. Sometimes they are covered in wicker and they. are. HUGE!

I found this picture on Instagram that Rene from Painted Goodness shared on her page.

She has loads of yummy demijohns that she uses to style her awesome furniture.

When I finally came across some, they were really pricey – like hundreds of dollars kinda pricey. And I mentioned they are huge, like too-big-to-put-in-a-house-with-boys kind of huge.

Way too expensive for my little budget, especially when I can think of all the other things I can buy at that price.

So the other day I went to a church yard sale and came across a steal!

No, this isn’t a demijohn, but it’s a wine bottle.

The label was faded, but it wasn’t vintage. It was only a quarter, folks!! I snatched it up right away and came home and got out my goo remover and voila – insty-demijohn!

Not to bad for quarter!

I paired it up with a rusty, old pulley I found for a couple of bucks and my
DIY Ballards Books.

Do you all decorate with glass? Have you come across a DIY steal that mimics an antique? I’d love to hear all about it – leave me a comment below. I love to hear from my readers.

I share with these wonderful people.
