As luck would have it last week Lisa wanted me to take her looking for a particular clothes shop in the direction I don't normally head in. I don't know why I don't go that way.. perhaps because it's in the opposite direction of the shops I normally go to. Mind you we never found the shop she was looking for but on the way home I decided to make a quick stop at 'the old pot factory' in mittagong as it had a huge sale sign on the front. I had only been to this place once before and I remembered it sold heaps of pots..and I'm after 7 of them!
Well... forget about the pots..! they were still too expensive anyway even with 50% off. There was so much other eye candy in there, I was more interested in the statues and fountains and garden arches! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw 70% off some of the garden statues. So after a little deliberating and a lot of sucking up to Fred I ended up getting 2 .. and the price if you're wondering... from $500 for a set of statue and plinth down to $150.. I think all my birthdays and Christmas's came at once last week!
I put some roses in the angels hands...
I made a rose wreath for the maiden with some fake flowers but I think they are too big, but for now they will do....
I couldn't pick between the angel and the maiden so they both came home with me! They are not concrete but are made of a heavy type resin but that's ok..I'm not fussy. They were selling like hotcakes as when we went back to pick them up they had sold stickers everywhere. Funny how I just happened to be there that day, thanks to Lisa!!
take care girls, Maryann
