My 50 cent piece of happiness
I know this piece isn't worth much... but it's worth more than the 50 cents I paid for it. Besides, it makes me happy.

1. My dear Solly Mack!
Painted by hand, created by Limoges...

I'd say it's worth more than the 50 cents you paid!

It has a real charm as well...

And anything that makes you happy is worth way more than you paid for it. Money doesn't really enter the equation, IMHO.

Thank you for sharing today!

:hi:

2. Hey, CaliforniaPeggy!
I'm going to stick it in the cabinet with the rest of my tiny collection. I don't really have a place for them yet. I collect old ceramic jugs and found that vase at the second-hand shop here.

I think it is one of the blank ones that people painted themselves. I plan to give my Limoges collection to my niece, so she can worry about researching its value. lol

3. Did you google, and find this little jar with the same label?

It's fun to look up stuff. Your little vase is cute, and definitely worth more than 50¢ :)
