It's at home - and I'm at work - I'll measure it and get back with you on Monday...but I know it's at least 20 inches maybe 22...

I'd say 20 inches qualifies as a demi, Tinna!

Very nice, Tinna.

I'm in Orlando right now visiting with my daughter this week.
I'm flying back to New Hampshire tomorrow and I hope that Hurricane Danny won't be a factor in my getting back home.


Hope you enjoyed the "hot" and rainy days we've had this week...it's not too bad as long as you keep an eye out for the lightning strikes!  That's the worst part...I am terrified of the lightning!

I do hope that you had a wonderful visit with your daughter! ...and you should be OK going home...Danny hasn't officially turned in to a hurricane (only a tropical storm)...but by the time you get home you'll probably get some rain from him there! ....we're on the watch now for "Erika" - if you want to be a weatherman (or woman) when you grow up - move to Florida - we make you earn your money during hurricane season!

Did your daughter catch the "bottle" bug?  I'm gonna be looking for a digging partner once the weather cools here a bit!

Have a very safe trip home! 

Tinna

She went digging with me when she was younger, Tinna.
Yes, the weather has been in the lowers 90's all week with some thundershowers in the afternoon.
I was at Universal studios wed. and they shut down the rollercoaster rides in the afternoon because of the lightning.
I went on the Hulk rollercoaster and Dueling dragons. That was an experience I never quite had before...LOL.
I had a great week with my daughter and hope to come back next year, again.

It sounds like you had a great time!  Universal (and the other parks too) are always a lot of fun!  Did you get a chance to go to Downtown Disney?  Living here as long as I have - I only recently went there for the first time (took one of my grandson's to see Legoland store they have there) - and I was like OMG...I'll definitely be going back...there is no admission...and tons of shops/activities/sites to see...if you didn't get a chance this time...there is always next year! 

That is a great picture - thanks for sharing it!

Tinna

God darned spiffy legs there Woodman! I was in front of that globe with little lobey. I was suffering from heat stroke at the time. I don't think the kid dragged me on the Hulk, probably wasn't there at the time. It was hard looking daddy like when you're ready to hurl your hotdog lunch on the rides we did take though.
Nice pic kid!

It's fun to see someone in the early stages of bottle collecting and digging.  I like those bottes you found.  You're catching on faster than I did.  I started out digging by myself, Tinna.  Just get out there and do it. It's hard to make a mistake.  Take it slowly and just get a feel for it.  You can always go back and dig more.  Don't sell yourself short to the person letting you dig.  Act like you've seen it all before  Take the camera with you and dig deep.

We went to Disney the last time we were down here, Tinna.
I've been to the Disney here in Orlando, the one in California & the one in Tokyo, Japan.
Lobey, I've never been on a violent/high speed rollercoaster ride before and I tell you it's quite an experience.
Not for the faint of heart. Yeah, the weather down here is alot more draining than in New England. I suppose you have to get aclimated to it to appreciate it. I'll probably freeze when I get back home.

Pull that shirt down Woody and get rid of the socks and you could pass for local.... I went to all the t-traps when I was stationed down there. Also during the summer it rains almost every afternoon between 1 and 5pm. Have you experienced the variety of mosquitoes??? The giant buzzard sized ones don't bite as bad as the teeny black Spanish mosquitoes do.

And don't talk about the H word thingys. It is bad luck. I live about 8hrs away up at the very end of the panhandle unless I drive, then it is 5 or 6 hrs.

Hi Tinna, very nice! Interesting lip on that one.. to answer your question, wicker does not make a bottle a demijohn.. demijohns are defined mainly by their large size, and use as storage or transport containers, rather than on the supper table.. how big is that one?


Obviously my eyes were bigger than my bottle LOL - with the measuring tape out it is just a tad under 17"...hardly the 20-22" I was thinking...so maybe this isn't a demi - just like a big wine/champagne type bottle???

QUESTION ABOUT THIS FIND???? 

Doing research yesterday I came across this link - and after checking out what I went there for I was scanning the page and I when I came to the "GINGER POT" section...the item shown under the E category of "Ultra Rare" looked an awful lot like something that I have at home!  As soon as I got home...I found it and took some pics...I need your input to see if this is the same thing or not...I have a passion for ceramics as well - and picked this up just because I thought it was cool...but I think I may have actually stumbled upon something here...look at the link and look at my pics...and you tell me!!!!!!
