Statues and Planters
J+M+J
Statues of the Sacred Heart, Immaculate
Heart and the Saints should be a staple in every Catholic home. As you can
imagine, ours is bursting with them. With the exception of a few that are
well-loved - the three that were on my mother's dresser when I was growing up -
we tend to have an ever revolving assortment in our home.
From time to time, the estate sale
professionals call us when they have something outstanding (Translation: no one
else would want it but you crazy people). These included a 4' statue of St.
Clare, a china cabinet that had been turned into a shrine encasing a 4' tall
statue of St. Anthony complete with a pedestal, lights, and a lily arch, and
presently a rather huge hand-carved wood statue of St. Francis that will be
there until I can figure out how to pack him. The statue of Mary in our garden
was also a rescue from a garden center - she had a broken hand. She stands on a
very old marble pedestal marked with Crosses - another rescue.
There is also a gold colored statue of
a boy dressed in quasi-military clothing, looking upwards with a Cross at his
chest. This one comes from the special estate I mentioned elsewhere. At
one time, I had a rather large collection of Mary head vases, but was forced to
sell them. Perhaps I will collect more one day. Again, these images are limited
as we lost many due to computer crashes, but we hope you enjoy them.
