On my Christmas list for this year is a Mary Statue, big enough to use for a family May Crowning.

Any suggestions on What to get, Size, Where to buy, What is a good price etc

Thanks!

I'm all ears, because I really want a nice one, too, for the garden. Do you want yours to be an indoor or outdoor statue?

I found a very lovely heavy grade plastic statue on Amazon of all places! It's 34in. tall and $70. It is in our garden and we get compliments on it all the time.



It will work very well for our May crowning this year. It's hollow with a plug hole in the bottom so you can fill it with water, sand or stones. We put stones in ours and it hasn't tipped once --not even in the hurricane when everything else was all over the yard!

A local friend replaced her chipped and broken statue with one of these.

I was thinking a 12" plus one inside that would look good on the buffet.

I have a painted cement one in the garden, I don't know why I never thought of using that for May crowning... I guess since it's still pretty cold in May here.
