Shoe Sale! Chicago, IL

Dale was walking downtown when he spotted this odd little vehicle promoting a shoe sale at Marshalls.
Needless to say, I am SORRY I didn’t see this in person. Dale is lucky because his area of downtown Chicago always has weird stuff going on! I want to drive this weird motorcycle thing! How fabulous is it?

Robinson Scenic Gardens Concrete Statuary, near Kalkaska, MI

I can’t believe I have to say this but:

THIS IS THE NOT A WEB STORE. This post simply documents my trip to Robinson Scenic Gardens Concrete Statuary. It is not their website. I do not sell concrete statuary. You would NOT believe how many inquiries I have gotten for this business. I should start a drop shipment plan with them, I swear.

A magical concrete statue garden along US 131! Enter the garden to find the amazing statuary below…

Marys in the tubs. Painted.

The Painted Statuary Garden


In the front section there are tons of huge concrete sculptures. This is by far the creepiest!


Dale took this one; he thought it was spooky cool.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are hanging out front. Wowser.


And then there’s this giant dude.


And a giant blue monkey. Or Ape. Or whatever. I felt like Jane Goodall.


Bear! Of the polar variety.


Who doesn’t love a pink elephant, a blue horse or a giraffe?

I love this guy!

Scariest thing I spotted? Half mannequin dude laying against a makeshift wall.


The back 40 has scads of unpainted statues. It appears they were all made on site! Wacky. And hand-painted.


Random painted Mary.


My “artsy” pic.


I love these little dudes.
