My favorite is the one that belonged to your mother. <br />I have always told my daughters that even though I love them with all my heart and would do anything to protect them, I am limited by my humanity. Their Blessed Mother, however, knows no such boundaries. On each of their school days, after they left, I knelt in front of my statue to say the rosary for not only the three of them, but for three other children - of Mary's choosing - who would struggle that day - academically or socially. She is truly a mother for all of us!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-55730722820871535652010-07-15T17:14:14.884-04:002010-07-15T17:14:14.884-04:00I like that part about Mary from Tuscan Sun too......I like that part about Mary from Tuscan Sun too...but then, I was raised catholic, with an aunt who was a Franciscan nun, so Mary has always been in my life.<br /><br />I have statues, prints, and other Mary and different saint collectibles. I especially like the older chalkware. Those busts, and planters, are great to collect because they are so plentiful in thrift stores and at flea markets. Yours is a nice little collection, so nice to meet someone else who likes them!<br /><br />The face on your outside garden mary is very pretty - that is usually a deciding factor for me when buying, she has to have a pretty face.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978318704606069961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-52406634241628370232010-04-01T15:22:57.773-04:002010-04-01T15:22:57.773-04:00Your Madonna collection is gorgeous!

My Mom saved each one but when the house was sold I have no idea where those Madonnas went?<br />JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023307609205834495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-3991203189010197112010-03-30T01:33:31.973-04:002010-03-30T01:33:31.973-04:00Every time I see a statute of Mary I think of you....Every time I see a statute of Mary I think of you.

Like Frances, I'm not Catholic in the true sense of the word, but I love the Madonna heads. May have to start collecting them myself. (Catholic, I've heard, means Universal, so in a sense all Christians are Catholic.. but don't tell my mother!)<br /><br />Susan at Charm of the CarolinesSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096182660382265869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-20436858277172201732010-03-29T12:13:32.096-04:002010-03-29T12:13:32.096-04:00Hi Donna, that is a beautiful collection you have...Hi Donna, that is a beautiful collection you have.
