the bust

I believe it was these two images that first attracted me to the french bust.

In fact I was so drawn to them that it almost made me uncomfortable! Mainly because

1) its a human statue staring back at me, which I found horrifying as a child.

2) I associated them with snobbish foreign people.

3) I had no idea what to call them!

Then this scene was the clincher.

Now I'm just plain hooked. and thanks to Pinterest, where I found this photo, I finally know what these human statues are called!

Now I'm just waiting for the day that I can place one of my own!

Would you own a bust? Where can I find a quality statue that won't break my budget?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the summer antique fairs ahead!
