Peaceful Stone

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.

  20. Hi Rosemary
    Love 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

  21. 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.

  33. 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.
