This Madonna is amazing!  It was for my newly landscaped "Mary Garden" and I've featured it in my Garden Column in my local newspaper and my church paper (St. Vincent de Paul column)  I've bought the recommended spray and will apply that shortly.  It is the perfect height, no pedestal needed.  Price was right, timing was perfect.  Thanks so much!  I might add that I researched this perfect Mary statue for several months, as well.
