Concrete Lawn Ornaments Since 1962 – Harper’s Statuary

One of the reasons Mod Betty loves a road trip so much is that she can pull over and buy something heavy and bulky at a place like Harper's Statuary -  and not have to worry about lifting it over her head and jamming it into the overhead bin of a plane!
Though Harper's has existed since 1962, we did not know of it until we wisely pulled off of the highway and onto Route 11 in Harrisonburg, VA. As soon as I spied that yard teeming with all sorts of colorful assorted concrete lawn ornaments we U-turned the car - the girl can't help it!
As we toured the yard we found all sorts of tempting treasures for our yard but my favorites were the "old mold" kind that you might see at your grandma's house: Donkeys pulling carts, proud standing deer, birdbaths, gazing balls and more (alas no vintage flamingos, but I found a source later - stay tuned!)

Made on-site, you can get your cast-stone statuary (as they call it in the biz) unfinished or detail painted.

Because Retro Roadhusband lives in fear that I'm "grannying the place up" every time I want to add just a little something to our outdoor decor, I was not able to get the 5-tier birdbath with seahorse base. Yet!
Though not from a vintage mold the Easter Island head we agreed upon fits right in with our tiki theme that we like so much.

If you want to get an idea of what Harper's carries without leaving the comfort of your couch, their website product catalog shows a lot of their items and current prices. But nothing beats seeing it in person, so if you're in the area, stop on by - it's so fun to look!
