Old World Casting Co.
Recently a friend and I were talking about garden ornaments and he suggested I go to Old World Casting Co. on Magazine Street where, he said, beautiful ornaments and statuary could be found at great prices. So I headed over there and was very excited to find a huge array of garden ornaments including fleur de lis’, crosses, gargolyes and many other lovelies. I snapped a few pics and chatted with the owner, leaving with the only and final “There are fairies at the bottom of the garden” ornament for a mere $5.00. ( See it in the slideshow below & weep, late-comers! )
He has a huge selection of fleur de lis’ and crosses in a host of styles – there’s bound to be one to fit every desire.
This is a shop I’ll return to again – a fantastic find for gifts for others and yourself at prices that will delight everyone.

Lovely things! I must visit this shop for sure!
Thought I’d also send the above link re an older post about raining oil in New Orleans. It’s getting out of control. You would not believe the comments and the people who believe this. Someone named the You Tube hoaxer in one of the comments, yet these people from out-of-town just won’t believe it.
I haven’t been back to that thread on HuffPo since the first couple of days. So many commenters are just clueless and I refuse to get my bp up!
You will love this shop, Erin!
I bought a pretty mermaid there once and still have it. It was a gift for my wife and looked just like her. I love your work. Thank You.
