I had been eyeing a garden statue at my favorite consignment store for quite some time. Yesterday, I stopped by and saw a sign for 20 percent off garden statuary. The owner looked up the reduced price, which was around $39.00, but she discounted it further for me to $29.00!
The figure of an angel looks down on the posy held in one hand.
It has found a home in my new garden bed with its white flowers.
Another decorative garden object I had been wanting was now down to $14.99. It is an urn in an oval shape with up-curved ends.
It seems to be of terra cotta covered with cement. I like the interesting shape and was glad to take it home with me.
Here it holds a pot of Taifun White Bacopa flowers.
Urns and statuary add so much to the charm of the garden. So I am glad to add to the urns and planters I already have in place
Do you decorate your outdoor spaces with things other than flowers and other plants?Be sure to see more Outdoor Wednesday posts at Susan’s blog, A Southern Daydreamer.

I love garden statuary! I could go overboard with it I love it so much. Your little angel is adorable and such a good price. The planter looks beautiful planted with those flowers!

Good deals - your flowers are pretty. I really like statues and urns for the garden.

The shape of that urn is special. Garden ornaments are something I would like experiment with in the future. Right now, my favorite garden ornament is the big, old central a/c in the back yard!!! Love my cool house. Sally
I love your garden accessories! The flowers look really good in the pot...Christine

I have a couple of pieces that I love. I keep my eyes out for things on sale...
I don't want to do too much but I do like the texture and height that can be gained by using these ornaments.

J'adore your garden ornaments! I have them too all over my yard. I think they're essential to every garden. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Carrie,
Wonderful garden ornaments, and you did very well on the prices! I love buying older concrete pieces. They're so much more interesting looking than brand new ones!
Bill
That is such a pretty angel statue! It looks perfect in your garden.
I have a statue of a girl holding baskets. I'm always on the lookout for nice ones at good prices.
happy Outdoor Wednesday! My first one and I was happy to visiit you!
Hugs, Pat
Hi Carrie, I have that very same angel statue in my garden, but mine has a broken wing. I love her so much she stays in my garden even with a broken wing. I call her my fallen angel. Aren't we all broken in some way? :)
Oh Carrie, What a bargain you got on the urn and the beautiful angel. I can see why you have kept your eyes on them. The angel is just magnificent. She is so serene. I love her in your garden. I have signed up to follow your blog, and I hope you will pop over, say hello and sign up to follow mine as well. Country hugs, and thanks for sharing, Sherry
Hi!
That bargain angel and urn in your garden are really awesome.

Carrie, great buys! The bacopa look so pretty in your oval urn. The statue is so darling! I too love using urns and statuary in my tiny garden.
Thanks for sharing!

Love your figurines in your yard.
I just do plants-- with a dog and a child that is all that is all I dare do for now.
I do like to use ornamental "doo-dads" in my garden...or did when I had one. Now I just have a huge patio filled w/ potted plants but there's lots of statues & urns on it. Happy Outdoor Wednesday Carrie!
Hi Carrie, I love your little angel....she is adorable. I really like things in the garden....adds so much charm!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday.

Wow, you got some great statuary bargains. I'm always looking for something interesting to add to the garden.
Have a wonderful day!
Darlene
Neat finds. And yes, I like to add things like statuary, birdhouses, interesting rocks and signs. I think it adds interest. This is a good time of year to pick up garden items and patriotic items at discounts.
Mama Bear
I love your new statue. It is so sweet and what a bargain. Your urn looks fabulous planted with the flowers. It was a good day shopping for you. Everything looks great.
What finds. You had a really successful shopping expedition. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
Love the mosaic you made of you're garden decorations. In my front yard I have a pig named Gijs.
Have a nice outdoor wednesday, Annemieke
it was meant to be, they are beautiful. happy outdoor wednesday.
Pretty! Pretty! I also have garden statuary. I love how they compliment the flowers and plants. :)
Blessings,
Sandra
Love your garden and all your statuary. Since we live in an apartment in the city, our outdoor space is limited to a single balcony, and I love to put plants and flowers out there, but don't have any statues. (Darn!)
Hi Carrie - Thanks for stopping by. I don't know where he got the twrilling piece. She is out of town for a couple of days, so will try to remember to ask her when she gets back.
Glenda
LOVE your gorgeous garden decor! I love to use statuary, architectural salvage & whimsy in my gardens. I did indeed recieve my beautiful wall chandelier & I LOVE it! :) chris
Carrie, You sure helped beautify your garden with these purchases, and you didn't hurt the bank account either! Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
What a treat to find something you've been wanting on sale! They look so pretty in your garden making them extra joyful.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Great bargains...love the urn very much...
Blessings,

Wonderful finds. I love garden and yard art.
Charlotte
Lovely garden art!!
Oh how cute is that little angel. Just darling. I really love it. Your urn is also just beautiful. Garden art adds so much to the garden. When fall comes, I am really going to hunt for some pretty urns and spruce up the yard. Right now it is so hot nothing will grow anyway. Also wanted to remind you that a date has been scheduled for the next "Clocher Party" for the fall season. It will be Sept. 11th. Be sure to grab the button on my sidebar to remind you and to let all your friends know. See you there. Hugs, Marty
Oh the pieces that you got are timeless and so pretty. Way to go!
