Most of us are used to seeing stone items for sale in shops and warehouses, so when hubby and I came across these roadside scenes we were really surprised.
These Columns were placed by the roadside to attract attention. It worked, for we stopped to investigate.
A closer look at the quarry in the distance.
Entrance gate to the stonemason's house.
This is the little house where you can order the stone.You are not seeing things, that is a fireplace and some chimney pots in the front yard
A wide variety of things for sale from polished stone for kitchen counters bathrooms and flooring, to elegant columns of stone for entrances, and smaller items's such as letter boxes and garden furniture, planters and ash trays.
You would never need to replace this garden furniture!
Letter boxes with any number of designs.
Rustic troughs for animal or bird feed were plentiful.
Bird baths, fountains, animal sculpures, dining room table tops, and large fruit bowls etc ect!!
This is the path we walked down from the road to the clearing where everything was displayed,

We had one granite table top in our home. It is a small round one but it is heavy. I like the entrance gate with the granite columns on either side and also the stone walls as fence.
Hello and what a beautiful area to explore! We have lots of granite from the Mourne mountains here in Northern Ireland and it is such a wonderful stone to use in homes! That stonemason must be very artistic as he has lots of great items for sale!
Have a lovely day!
Now that I saw the fireplace in the front yard and thought about it, it would rather cozy, I think. Wonderful finds and discoveries the two of you made!!...:)JP

How very interesting. The granite is so cool.
Me encanta la piedra de granito, en mí casa tengo algunas. Besitos.
I can see why those columns caught your attention. What a great way to advertise. I liked their entryway a lot.
Those are some beautiful pieces!
Love this post and seeing the granite on display. I have gone several times to pick out granite. It is a fun experience to walk around a granite yard. Love the entrance and the gate. Have a great weekend ahead. xo
I love the gate to the Mason's house and the rustic troughs are my favourite.
very interesting and lovely stone.
That is beautiful granite and I must say I love the mailbox. What a nice walk. B
Wow! Looks like a very beautiful area. So neat to see all the granite, and products made from granite! Around here we pretty much have gravel pits and limestone cliffs.
Wow, what an interesting place. I would love some garden furniture like that. At least I wouldn't need to worry about it rotting in the rain!!
I like finding the unexpected! Great photos of the granite in your area. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Diane
What a brilliant find.
Granite is also very strong and very beautiful stone.
Nice that you have written a post about this :-)
