tortoise statues

[ben32hayt]

Today on my way home from purchasing a few koi fish, I stopped at a nursery called Martin Viette. The prices there were high but there plants were divine. As I was observing the statues I came across some tortoise statues that were absolutely stunning. Personally I would rather spend the 259.00 or 369.00 on a live tortoise but either way these statues would fit great in anyone tortoise yard.

Those are so cute. Would love to have a couple in my yard.

Cute, but way over priced.

I'll say...you can find very similar items at stores like Lowe's and ....darn the other one escapes me. All I can think of is Office Depot and I know that's not right. You know the one I mean...has a big orange facade on the store?

Home Depot?

eBay too has much better prices. Here is a statue I found on eBay for 18.95 although I'm not sure what type of rock the ones I saw were made from

The price is not right. Even it is very cute.

How much?! I have so much 'tortoise tat' in my garden. Figurines, statues, door stops, wind chimes. Any pound shop where I live usually has some monstrosity that if I don't buy, someone else buys it for me. It's become more of a game of, the uglier it is the more you have to buy it!
My mum bought me this for my car last week -

it nods its head and everything. Ha. it's so horrible it's cute.

I am not suggesting the ones you posted are ugly the the way!

Thanks for sharing. Another great place to check is your local Hobby Lobby.

The price was outrageous but I am unsure of the stone the statues were made of and I have a good feeling they were made of granite. But at the same time it looks like cement rock which would make it even more outrageous!
