Like every stereotypical Mormon mom, I have wanted a piano in our home. I do play the piano very poorly, but the main reason for the musical instrument, is to force piano lessons down my children's throats. So when I found this gorgeous antique piano at a garage sale on Saturday, priced ridiculously cheap, I did what any person who loves a good deal would do--I offered them even less money for it. And here's the great part--they took it!
Once we got the piano home, Chris started deep cleaning it. It had obviously sat in a garage for some time. While cleaning it out he found this:
Yep, that's a 50-60 year old empty Milk Duds box. Pretty cool. A quick check on ebay, and I discovered that if I wanted to sell that box, I could about cover the cost of the piano purchase. Because I bought the piano for....$25! Best garage sale purchase ever.

Oh my goodness!!! I'm so jealous! People try to sell piece of junk pianos for at least $200 - and yours is beautiful! Does it sound good? Wow, so cool, I'm amazed. Hope to see some video of Parker plinkin' it out soon! :)
Way to shop! That's one of the best deals I've ever heard of. The candy box is cool too!
I just wanted to say that I found the piano. That is all.
