What follows is a sample of the statuary, for indoors and out, that appeals to gardeners and non-gardeners (is that even possible?) alike. Many are suitable for the garden, perhaps a plant room or maybe a living room! As always, you can click on any of the photos, for a closer look.
We're still working on that rhyming Christmas shopping list... taking a peek at all the gift possibilities that abound at Corliss Bros. Garden Center & Nursery. I think we'll find more than enough statuary to fill our needs. Let's look.....
How about a little help pondering that list?How cute he'd be, meditating on a stone wall.
Add the flavor of far-off climes. Anybody youknow have an oriental garden? There are all
types of Buddha statues, as well.
A cherubic element. Does someone on yourlist have a Victorian garden?
Did he wander in from"Whoville?" How delightful for awhimsical touch or for a child's garden.
Definitely a unique piece!
Peace reigns in this colorful kingdom ofweight-challenged, resin statuary. Will bring a
smile to anyone's face this Christmas!
Well, these are just too cute to resist!Little Christmas cherubs?
Honor your inner master gardener, or recognizethe skills of your favorite Master Gardener,
with this colorful little helper.
A very peaceful feeling accompanies this one,complete with roses and spade.
Who doesn't like a cute little wood gnome?Here, we see an impromptu jam session, as the
horn section is critiqued by the conductor.
Meditative little sprite,waiting for a spot in your friend's garden.
Ricky Raccoon ~ begging for a new home.
Just practicing! An enterprising frog taking a"dry run" in an empty water garden bowl. Both
would add a wonderful cool touch to a summer garden.
Does someone on your list garden by the seashore?These are just a few of the ocean-themed
decorative elements.
Ceramic & elegant, for the refined garden.Or, maybe someone's plant room?
Oooh ~ puppies! Give away a whole litterto the dog lover on that list.
"Chug-a-rum!"Singly, or in a chorus line, these chubby amphibians
will bring a smile to any gardener's face.
Maybe they'd prefer an avian chorus line?
"Of cabbages and kings"...of artichokes and asparagus, too!
Did you realize that slugs and snails eat mushrooms?As these are all concrete, probably not an issue.
Nice garden accents!
Remember "Four and twenty blackbirds bakedin a pie?" This is called "Blackbird's Revenge."
How great would this look on a patio?
Cute, fluffy owls.
Stylized, sophisticated owls. Remember"The owl and the pussycat?" These are
well-represented, as well!
Aloof, but a creature of beauty to the cat lover on that list!
Maybe cute and cuddly is more appropriate?
Does your mom's cat have a special spot for napping?
Like a primitive art piece, this chunky cat isoverflowing with character.
Slim, elegant lines...perfect for indoor or outdoor display.
Smooth! Guardian of garden.
Obese birds and beasties... sure to elicit smiles!
"Let's see... kitty grass, catnip, mice or...
... fish?" Anyway, this is perfect for the residentfisherman, at the camp or in a seaside garden.
A resin bird bathing in a ceramic birdbath.Give you any ideas?
Who doesn't want a puppy?All the cuteness and none of the work.
Angelic visions ~ perfect for the summer gardenor winter window.
Yet another chorus line, along with tiny terrapins.
Doves ~ perfect, nestled among the poinsettias,or lending a peaceful feeling to a secluded summer nook.
"Squirrel Nutkin" is a natural for thatcertain someone's informal garden.
"Yay! We've come to the end of another list.Did you get any good ideas for all those
gardening friends and relatives?"
Now, don't forget to take a quick trip over to "Corliss Clips"for just a few more ideas... click here, and off you go!

Gosh there are just SO many to chose from!
Tina ~ And that's just a sampling. Many were left behind, on the cutting room floor, when this post went into production.
Did you have a chance to view all the tools, pruners, watering and composting supplies, over at 'Corliss Clips'? I'm running out of time to post the rest of the list, so I'm running them on both blogs, simultaneously.
It's a big project, but very entertaining to complete. Fun to look at all these garden supplies on such a snowy, wintry day!
Hi Deb, No, I honestly did not look at all the other gifts-I am a bit 'wrapped' up with the current blogs I track and really can't find enough time to look at them all. Sorry:( It is very nice looking at all the gifts on your blog though. Our shopping is about done and I do think hubby got me some clippers so that is good. Have a great day. Stay safe.
Tina ~ it's such a busy time of year... as soon as I do some serious snow shoveling, I've got to go blog visiting, myself.
Glad you enjoyed the postings and Merry Christmas, in case we don't "speak" before the big day.
The lovely items just seem endless! :)
You too!
You have a wonderfully inspiring place to visit (and work)!!!! I won't tell you what I like! ;-) Looking forward to 2009, now.
Shady ~ Thanks! It is probably the best place to work I can imagine. Fun to scroll through garden items and decorative elements and daydream about the upcoming season.
