Siriusly a rill dill!

Okay, I get a seriously huge high off of amazing deals, and boy oh boy did I find one today!
I have been looking on craigslist and KSL classifieds looking for a dresser, various furniture items, home decor etc, when I came across this black fancy mirror. The ad said it was brand new, still in the box, retailed over 300.00
LOOOONG story short, I drove an hour out to the boonies where these people lived who were holding this mirror for me, and when I get there they say..."which one did you want to look at?" I am thinking, um the mirror. That's what I called about, so I say, the black mirror. so they lead me into their gorgeous house, and I come to find out that they have about 5 different styles of huge, beautiful mirrors. The black one I was looking it was HUGE, lI'm talking like 4 feet by 5 feet or something hunormous like that! It was SO big, I had to put the seats down in my subaru. I love big things on the wall, I feel like putting one tiny thing on the wall doesn't make much of a statement, I would way rather have one big peice, even if it means spending more sometimes. So I am shocked at the asking price from the add (which I haven't revealed to you yet, get ready to be blown away). I mean the quality of these mirrors was amazing, the typr of thing you would never find at a target or ikea, more like those firniture stores in the mall or some such place. SO I get nervous like um, did they just post that price hoping people would come and see it, then reveal the real asking price? so I ask to confirm and they reassure me that's the real price they want for this FANCY pants mirror. So I am stunned! Plus they have Oak mirrirs, cherry antique looking mirrors, a few gorgeous varieties. SO i jumped on the offer, and honestly if I had more cash, i probably would have bought a few of the other beauties (they had multiple quantities of some of them. So I ask, wow, how are you able to sell these for such a great price? They simply say, they got them for a great deal, so they're passing along a great deal. Boy oh boy, okay here are the pictures of the beauty:







These pictures are kind of small, but this is what it looks like out of the box :) LOVE IT!






Now are you ready to hear how much I paid for this?????



35 dollars!!!!




I can't believe it myself, it's like 90 % off the retail price, so gorgeous, brand new in the box and heavy real solid wood, and everything...now I just have to figure out where to put it, I was imagining to put it on top of our dresser, but its too big! I'll let you know where I decide to put it :)
