If you've been following me, you know by now how much I love stone and statuary. It's inside and out around my house. I've always found it to be very calming, and peaceful. This morning, I took a few photos to share.
You saw where I put two of my four seasons cherubs in my "Christmas Vignette" post. The other two are on either side of my large black cabinet.
Right after the Christmas decor was taken down, I changed the vignette on top of the chippy cabinet in my studio. Right now, I have a vintage window, cement fruit basket, and, an imperfect (don't mind that) fountain. My candle is sitting on a silverplate tray and is surrounded by walnuts.
Just outside my backdoor. I need to straighten things out. No wide shot, it's scary.
My two broken cherubs are leaning against the house right now.
Remember how I found them on the ground in my "Estate Shopping" post? I couldn't leave them, plus they were stupidly cheap.
I'm thinking of creating some sort of stand for them. How? I'm not sure yet.
Yes, I'm a stone addict.
There's a lot going on this weekend at villabarnes. So, I'm going to chill a bit today, see what some of you are up to, and get some organizing/cleaning done. See ya tomorrow.

Hi Rosemary
ReplyDeleteLove the statuary... I have sold a lot of it, but it just is toooo heavy. My back is tired!
I love it but I don't see it like I used to... maybe because it is at your house :)
Blessings

You're such a "stoner"! Ha! Sorry, I just couldn't resist. I love all that kind of stuff too. I need my husband to take my statue back out to my front porch steps too. I moved him when Christmas decorations went up, but forgot to bring him back out.
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice pieces, beautiful work as usual!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love concrete. I am surprise how much gets looked over at estate sales. Especially if it's broke a little. I also buy some new to sell in my booth along with the old. Great post.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
Lisa
Ohhh, you have the best stone works!! Love it! Your designs showcase them so well!
ReplyDeleteLove all the stone! Just wanted to say thanks so much for stopping by my blog & following! XO,Clydia {threemangoseeds.blogspot.com}

Hi Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible Stone Treasures.... since finally being back online at my house, I am slowly trying to catch up on all I missed.. Wow, I just went to your Estate post where you showed all the statues, I can hardly believe it, I bet your heart was going Crazy~
I can hardly wait till spring, so I can start seeing all the Garage sale signs popping up, now to only get thru this COLD & Snow!
Have a wonderful weekend
Cheryl
You're right. They are very calming.
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet cherubs - cracks and all!
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of Stone . . . love the vignette with the window, candle and walnuts.
ReplyDeleteyou are a good or bad influence as I'm now looking at stone statuary..I have a couple of pieces but now need to add more!! love the look of bringing it indoors..
ReplyDeletebest,
maureen
You find such cool stuff and seeing all of your statuary makes me want to get "stoned" too! LOL
ReplyDelete~ Sue
Love the cherub, but can you not. When I saw this post today, for some reason I thought of you and the movie The Secret Garden. You find all these interesting, old world beautiful items and turn them into works of art.
