Garden Fairies

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Design Toscano! We hope that all mothers out there can spend this very special, beautiful May day with their children and loved ones. As we stand at the threshold of summer, the scent of lilacs and other spring flowers remind us that the cold days of winter won't be coming back any time soon. Birds are singing, trees have come back to life with fresh green foliage and the backyard beckons. It's time to start hosting evening dinner parties and taking full advantage of your green backyard oasis.

To help celebrate Mother's Day, help mom get her favorite stone garden angel and other garden sculptures out of storage and put them on display in the garden. If it looks like mom could use a few more outdoor resin garden statues, perhaps she could use a few animal garden sculptures for her collection? Simon the Fox makes a beautiful, classic statement with his alert, realistic look and handsome burnt-orange and white coloration.

Or, perhaps mom could use more garden fairies? The Fairy of the West Wind is an enchanting statue that adds an exquisite touch to any backyard. The details on this beautiful little fairy are so realistic that you can almost hear the sylvan notes issued forth from her delicate flute.

Gardening is a wonderful hobby. For those who haven't spent any time weeding or watering plants in the backyard, you are missing out on a very relaxing, satisfying, and positive practice. Since people have been tending gardens for thousands of years, it might also be one of the oldest hobbies on the planet. Although it helps to have a "green thumb", the availability of seeds, mulch, and information about gardening make it easy enough for just about anyone to grow beautiful red tomatoes, healthy cucumbers, and rows of bright-colored flowers. You of course, have to put time and effort into gardening to make it work, but it's the perfect excuse to enjoy the green space in your backyard.

You can also get as creative as you want with gardening, including combining it with resin garden statues. No flower garden looks complete without a quality set of garden gnomes and a garden fairy or two. They help to highlight the natural beauty of a flowerbed by merit of their small size, colors, and exquisite features.

Some garden statuary also lends itself to foliage by providing a place where plants can grow or at least be put  on display. One of the best garden statues for this purpose is the French Greenmen Sculptures Le Printemps and Le Etoile. Crown these elegant wall sculptures with bunches of beautiful flowers for a charming combination of natural and sculpted decor.

Enjoy a 20% discount on these greenman statues and all other sale items when purchasing them by midnight tonight, as part of our Virtual Warehouse Sale.

We would like to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of our customers and readers of this blog. If you happen to be a mother, we hope that you have been treated to a special lunch or dinner, and have received a lovely gift or two. Whether you have done something special for your mother or not on this special weekend, why not take Mother's Day a step further by giving her one of our beautiful garden fairy statues? If she likes to spend time in the backyard, she will love and appreciate an enchanting, exquisite garden fairy like Fiona the Flower Fairy Sculpture. Given the lifelike details and beauty of this magical statue, it's no wonder that it's one of our best selling items.

Or perhaps the mother in question might enjoy one of our cuter garden fairies like Ella, the Littlest Flower Fairy. This precious Victorian fairy wears a petal dress and combines the beauty of a young child with the magic of a fairy with absolutely adorable results. If your mother already happens to have a statue of Ella, she will love the Fairies of the Meadow Garden Statues. These exquisite Victorian Fairies are painted in subtle, soft tones and will look right at home in the flowerbed.

Mother's Day weekend is here and we are going to help you celebrate this special holiday by offering a 20% discount on animal garden statues and everything else on our site. This sale acts as an excellent opportunity to buy and save on beautiful decor for your mother, other special people in your life, and yourself. Shop at the Basil Street Gallery to look for exquisite, high quality interior wall decor like the Serene Buddha Grande Wall Frieze and the 1930s Art Deco Skyscraper Wall Mirror. Both of these items represent the unique, creative character typical of decor from the Basil Street Gallery.

After browsing the beautiful, breathtaking items in our Basil Street collection, look through our large assortment of animal garden sculptures. Many of our animal statues are highly detailed and very realistic portrayals of wildlife that roam the African plains and make their home in the forests of North America. The King of Beasts Lion Sculpture pays homage to one of Africa's top predators with a carefully sculpted portrayal of a beautiful, male lion. You can just about feel the breeze blowing through the regal mane of this lion and will be impressed  by the incredbly lifelike look in its timeless, amber eyes.

Meerkats are one of the cutest animals on the planet. The black markings around their eyes and on their paws make them look like little bandits and when they stand on their hind legs, Meerkats look absolutely adorable. Given their charismatic attributes, it's no wonder that Meerkats are excellent inspiration for animal garden statues. Sculptures of these confiding little animals are a wonderful, seriously cute addition to any garden but they complement some garden decorating themes better than others.

For example, although you could put the Meerkat Clan Statue and a classic stone garden angel next to each other, that's not going to look nearly as good as pairing Meerkat sculptures with other African animals. Meerkats are native to the arid plains of southern Africa so they look much better when they share a garden with sculptures like the Lioness with Cub or Gigi, the Garden Giraffe Statue. Both of these sculptures are as representative of dramatic, amazing African wildlife as statues of Meerkats.

Meerkats also work very will with garden fairies. They have a similar mischievous appearance, are small, crafty creatures, and are right at home in flower beds and vegetable patches. They will look right at home when sharing a backyard with the Fairies of the Meadow and just about any garden gnome statues.

Garden fairies are one of the more exquisite types of outdoor statues. Sculpted with graceful lines, curves, and beautiful details, they can punctuate the backyard with elegance in a distinctly magical way. Although there are some fairy statues that show a bit of color, most are painted in classic, faux stone hues. There's nothing wrong with that classical look but it's still nice to have a few fairy statues that are painted in some of the same bright colors as the flower patches where they "live".

Folks hoping to combine bright colors with the elegance and magic of the fairy statue will be happy to know about the Pondering Pixie Stained Glass Sculpture. This wonderful work of art is one of the most colorful fairy sculptures you will ever see. Our happy little pixie is brought to life with delicate flesh tines, pink lips, and tousled brown hair. She also sports a beautiful green leaf dress with a reddish waist band but her colors truly show when the sun hits her sparkling stained glass wings. Inspired by the orange and pale blue shades shown by a Monarch Butterfly, her wings are made of 75 different, copper-foiled, hand cut pieces of stained glass. This pixie shines with color both inside the home and when placed outdoors and will become a bright spot in any garden.

Bigfoot has become a classic, essential part of American and Canadian folklore. Although irrefutable evidence is lacking, thousands of people claim to have glimpsed or heard the primeval screams of the huge, hairy biped while visiting remote and wild places. Whether it truly walks beneath the huge evergreens of the Pacific northwest or only occurs in our imagination, Bigfoot represents the wild and mysterious side of North America's forests and mountains. We, of course, offer detailed, realistic statues of Bigfoot and thousands of people have put one or more on display in in their backyards. People put statues of Bigfoot on display for a variety of reasons, but the following are a few of the most common reasons for showing this unique decor in the garden:

• An intriguing creature: Bigfoot captures the minds of millions of Americans and Canadians. Many of us are captivated by the stories of witnesses who claim to have seen Sasquatch and we can't help but wonder if it could actually exist in some deep, dark forest.
• A unique sculpture: Although we offer hundreds of unique, high quality sculptures, a statue of Bigfoot is a far cry from your average garden gnome. It makes it possible for people to add a truly different statue to the garden.
• An expression of fantasy and an open mind: Putting a sculpture of Bigfoot on display shows that you have an appreciation for the fantasy genre as well as a realization that our modern world is hardly bereft of mystery.

Find high quality Bigfoot statues, beautiful garden fairies, and other stunning resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

Fairies are a natural addition to any garden. Flower beds and backyards are said to be the abode of those magical, mythical beings and they are rumored to help out with garden chores on moonlit, summer nights. Although you probably aren't going to see a live fairy anytime soon, you can still help bring them to life with sculptures like Fiona the Flower Fairy. This realistic, life-like sculpture captures the gentle magic of the fairy with exquisite details and a faux stone antique finish. Fiona will look right at home when placed next to a patch of flowers or beneath the shade of an old, majestic Oak.

The Twinkle Toes fairy statue is another quality fairy sculpture that enchants with life-like details. The expression on the pretty face of this fairy is one of curiosity and wonder as she ponders the butterfly perched on her graceful foot.

Although fairies tend to be gentle creatures, some also turn into fierce warriors when the need arises. Rhiannon the Archer is one such fairy and this best selling sculpture adds a striking, dramatic touch to any backyard.

Decor for the garden can reflect a certain type of decorating theme, be used to add a dramatic touch to the backyard, or heighten the natural beauty of your personal green space. It can also be used to simply add elegance to the backyard and certain resin garden statues accomplish this with flying colors. The Goddess Aurora Statue is a striking, elegant depiction of the Roman Goddess of dawn. Aurora was believed to fly across the sky every morning to announce the rising of the sun and this replica of a nineteenth century Italian sculpture captures her personality with graceful curves.

Elegance also comes in the form of animal garden statues like the Grande Black Panther Statue. Few animals express power and grace better than felines. Whether resting on their haunches, prowling through the grass, or sauntering through their territory, every one of their movements is akin to those of a trained acrobat. The Grande Black Panther statue is an excellent, accurate representation of the beauty and elegance of a big, wild cat. Put this realistic animal yard statue in the garden and rumors may start to fly about mysterious wild cats in the neighborhood.

For a gentler yet no less elegant form of garden statue, you can't go wrong with garden fairies like the Sunflower Fairy Statue.

The garden is meant to be decorated with statuary. Whether the backyard is used to grow vegetables, for dinner parties, or for playing badminton, it's also the perfect place for displaying a stone garden angel or a collection of classic Greek garden statues. Sculptures give your place a regal touch, allow you to express feelings about your faith, and can be used to add both drama and peace to the backyard. The fact that statues aren't carved from slabs of marble also make them much more affordable than the sculptures that graced Roman villas and Victorian era gardens. Although you could certainly find sculptors who are willing to create a marble statue for thousands of dollars,nowadays, it's far easier to buy garden statues that are made from quality resin.

Resins are used as the medium of choice for high quality statues because this material is much more affordable and weighs much less than granite or marble. The fact that it's also much more pliable than natural stone means that it can be used to create incredibly realistic animal garden sculptures such as the Catch of the Day Grand Bear Sculpture, or Zarien the Zebra. Although resins can be used to make beautifully delicate garden fairies, they are also engineered to last for decades (and should last for centuries with proper care).

Spring is in the air! The snow is melting, green blades of grass are appearing, and American Robins have started singing.

There are many ways to decorate the garden. The right stone garden angel or large Buddha statue can add a heavenly touch of peace and tranquility to any backyard, there are exquisite garden fairy and animal statues that can be hung from backyard trees, and gnome sculptures are an easy means of adding cheer. One of the most challenging ways to decorate the garden is also one of the most dramatic. Although it takes a great deal of patience, hard work, and knowledge to create beautiful backyard topiary, the end result can be breathtaking, living works of art. Fortunately, if you lack the artistic mindset and time to create topiary, you can still bring the beauty of this art into the backyard with topiary animal garden statues.

European style sculptural topiary items require nothing more than placing them into your garden to give it a beautiful, topiary touch. The Sculptural Swan is a lovely piece of decor that expresses the grace and beauty of a swan in green, faux leafy form, while the Bunny Rabbit will be a hit with kids of all ages. The Sculptural Flamingo also shows that statues of these stately birds don't need to be pink to be beautiful.

The metal frame and fade-resistant, faux leaf foliage used in these items turn them into permanent topiary that requires neither watering nor clipping.

Save 20% on these unique decorations and all new items on our site when ordering them by March 22nd!

The gnome statue has become a popular mainstay of modern garden decor. These little creatures tend to be much more cheerful than fairies and pixies, and most are downright jolly. They also add cheer to the garden with brightly-colored clothes, are right at home in any backyard, and do a variety of garden chores with typical, easy-going, gnomish flair.

Plowing Pete is a gnome who loves to use a tractor for garden work. Although he might spend more time just relaxing on the tractor than actually doing any work, he takes care of the mushroom patch with a good-natured smile.

While some gnomes are taking care of the garden, others are taking a well-earned nap after reading a good book. Snoozing Booker the Garden Gnome happily dreams away the afternoon while relaxing under a spotted mushroom.

Whether actually weeding the garden or just taking a snooze, all of that hard work makes for a very dirty gnome at the end of the day. Tubby the Bathing Gnome washes off the dirt at the end of a long day by taking his bath in a barrel below a handy garden faucet.

Add some good cheer to your garden with these fun gnome statues and the best in high quality garden statuary from Design Toscano.

Fairies have entertained the imagination for centuries. The little people go by many names and can be found in cultures throughout the world. According to lore, some are mischievous but most will help you as long as they are treated with respect. They tend to frequent gardens and places of wild, natural beauty and although you aren't going to see an actual fairy, you can at least bring them to life with the right type of garden statuary.

High quality, realistic fairy sculptures like the Fairy of the West Wind help give form to these enchanting creatures with fine, breathtaking details. This beautiful fairy sculpture is so detailed and realistic that you can almost hear the haunting, magical sounds coming from her flute. Seat this fine statue on a shelf or garden wall to add a bit of magic to your place.

The Sunflower Fairy Statue is another, very realistic sculpture that celebrates the enchanting beauty of fairies with incredible details and form. This fairy sculpture expresses her connection with nature by being crowned with flowers, wearing a detailed petal skirt, and holding a sunflower bowl.

Find these and other high quality, breathtaking fairy resin garden statues at Design Toscano.

Angels are among the most classic of decor. Hundreds of beautiful angel statues have graced cemeteries, churches, and stately backyards for hundreds of years, and they can lend a sense of awe and peace to any garden. Angel sculptures are by no means limited to religious themes or styles that are typically found in cathedrals. In addition to the classic, awe-inspiring beautiful angel, there are also angel statues that demonstrate various emotions, the joy of being a child, and even pay homage to your dearly departed pet.

Those who prefer angel statues that act as an expression of religious faith will love the Divine Guidance Praying Angel. This beautiful angel shows her obedience and faith by looking to heaven as she clasps her hands in prayer. We also have many classic angel statues, including the large, breathtaking Grand Cathedral Angel Sculpture. At more than six and a half feet tall, this impressive angel will take center stage in just about any backyard.

The Angel of Grief Monument Statue is a dramatic expression of mourning while also acting as a reminder to enjoy life, while the In God's Grace Angel Statue captures the innocent, angelic beauty of a child.

Decor serves many purposes and one of the most important is making your guests feel right at home. We want guests to feel as accepted and comfortable as possible and one of the easiest ways to help make that happen is with decor that literally welcomes them at the door. The Birdy Welcome Statue does this with a bright and cheerful display of four colorful bird species. You can almost hear the cute birds in this statue chirping as they perch on top of a log inscribed with "Welcome" written in elegant script.

Put the Blue Bird Welcome Statue on display for a simply adorable welcome sign. The two little lovebirds in this statue welcome guests with appealing, soft blue and yellow hues while perched on top of a classic welcome log. This beautiful little sculpture works just as well in the garden as it does inside the home.

Gnomes also make excellent subjects for welcoming guests to the backyard or at the front door. The Greetings from the Garden Gnomes Welcome Statue is a fun, beautiful little sculpture replete with a tiny squirrel, mushrooms, tortoise, and two friendly gnomes who are hard at work putting the finishing touches on the welcome sign.

Everyone loves a beautiful backyard. It's one of the main reasons why so many of us become involved with gardening and display a variety of gnomes, fairies, and other garden statuary. Angels add a special touch to any backyard, especially when  they show cute, highly detailed, angelic children. Big, dramatic angel statues have their place in the backyard but won't add to the beauty of a flowerbed like the small Heaven's Comrades Garden Angel Statue. This adorable sculpture captures the innocent beauty and wonder of a child lucky enough to have a bird perch on her hand. Her wavy hair, folded robes, and details of the feathers in her wings and on the bird are a wonder to behold. The small basin also turns this statue into a fine bird feeder or bird bath.

The Angels Garden Blessings Statue is another exclusive Design Toscano sculpture from the Acorn Hollow collection that captivates with beautiful, lifelike details. Similar to the Heavens Comrades statue, this sculpture shows an innocent, young angel reaching out to gently touch a small sparrow as she stands over a bird bath. The innocent beauty of this statue adds an endearing touch to any garden. It can also be used as a petite bird bath or small bird feeder.
