Build your Crystal Figurine Collection With Fairy Tales

It may seem strange at first to think you could build a crystal figurine collection with fairy tales, but it is a simple and fun approach to collecting. You will need three things to get you started:

1. A good antholoty o f Fairy Tales

2. A reliable source where you can purchase the crystal figurines

3. A young child who loves having stories read to him/her.

One of the marvelous things about fairy tales is the numerous little creatures and animals that are mentioned in the stories. Children love the animals, especially if there are good illustrations along with the story. There are rabbits, bears, elephants, snails, fish, butterflies and so on throughout the list of fairy tales. The good thing is that there are crystal figurines available for almost any animal you can name.

Your first step is to find a good anthology of fairy tales with beautiful, whimsical illustrations. While a new book from your favorite book store might be expensive, you can find more reasonably priced booksin book swap stores, used book stores, local libraries that offer clearance sales and even garage sales.

Your second step is to locate a reliable retail store that carries crystal animal figurines at a price that fits your budget. Try gift shops and specialty stores in your local mall or shopping center. You can also find retalers on the internet. There are literally hundreds of internet stores offering crystal animal figurines in different sizes, shapes, design, quality, color and price ranges.

Your last step is to tie the crystal figurine and the fairy tale together. You can do this in several ways. You can buy a crystal animal figurine mentioned in the story first and have it availble when you start the story. Or you can read the story to your child and find out which animal he or she likes the best and then purchas that crystal animal. Last, you can purchase your figurines spread out over time as your budget permits. One thing you can count on is reading the same fairy tales again and again and again. No matter which path you choose, your child will always have the opportunity to see and hold the figurine when you are reading the tale.

After several years of reading fairy tales and other stories, you'll find that you have acquired a nice collection of crystal figurines. At the same time, you have provided many hours of enjoyment to your youngster. The figurines and the stories will be very special to your child for awhile. They grow so fast and move on to other adventures. But you will always have the crystal animal figurines and the memories of the evenings you read the fairy tails and shared the crystal figurines with your child.

You really can build your crystal figurine collection with fairy tales as well as making bedtime for your child a fun and exciting activity. As the saying goes, "Two birds with one stone."

As with the entire Carruth Collection, these pieces are full of personality and emotion, turning your garden into a whimsical masterpiece! Original Designs by Sculptor George Carruth Made in Waterville, OH Concrete Can be Left Outdoors Year Round 7.5" W x 5.75"H x 1.75"D Five Pounds Hand Cast Stone George Carruth Original Design! Since 1983 George Carruth has been creating wonderful cast images in stone from completely original designs carved from limestone and clay. A cat birdbath, frog rain gauge and dog thermometer are but a few of the outdoor garden statues and sculptures created at Carruth Studio. It all began over 25 years ago with one-of-a-kind garden statues and sculptures, hand carved from stones, cast off from local quarries. Turning rough quarry stones into garden sculptures became the passion of George Carruth over two decades ago. After several years of working as a sculptor at American Greeting Cards in Cleveland, Ohio, George decided to apply his artistic skills to stone. It literally changed his life! Soon he was winning awards at art shows and exhibits, sculpting commissioned pieces for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and carving custom stone panels for a school, library and village clock tower. Even a custom tiny stone Christmas ornament was commissioned for the White House Christmas tree.
