Moss Grotto's blog wouldn't be the same without something unusual............
SAINT FRANCIS of ASSISI -
 Patron saint of animals

This special piece was found on a road trip with my husband John, last weekend.
We headed to his home town of Wangaratta and stumbled across this fantastic statue in a nearby town called Chiltern.

 I am known to John and my family as St.Francis of Assisi - for my passionate love of the animal kingdom.
What can I say.....it had my name on it! 

 You will see St.Francis of Assisi sitting quietly within the store of MOSS GROTTO.


MATADOR of Spain
 This petite statue in it's dreamy blue sits amongst my collection of things that belong to me. Everyday when I look at him I feel good.
Why you might ask? Because..... when I travelled to Spain I was   deeply disturbed by the bullfights and cruelty to these animals.
Luckily there is a big movement to abolish this old tradition.
Today, the only place I want to see a Matador is in porcelain.

A pair of Chinese foxes sit on my gates behind my counter at MOSS GROTTO.They were a gift.I Ioved them the minute I saw them and I love them more and more each day! I'm slowly building up a funny little area of trinkets given to me from special people in my life.

This Mexican heart is from my dear friend Amy Ames at EL POCO in Barwon Heads.If you look closely on your next visit to Moss Grotto you'll also see a wild pair of TEXAN spurs given to me by Amy Ames on one of her visits back home to Texas!

This collection of special trinkets is slowly building over time.
Keep an eye out and you may see these wonderful spurs somewhere on the MOSS GROTTO blog.
