This is the place... by marlboromaam

This is the place...

Where I got my latest concrete statues and such. It looks pretty junky from the road, but there's so much to see spread out over several acres. You really have to hunt for your fancies. They have seven-foot tall Lizard men and Sasquatches, huge fountains, all kinds of angels, dogs, cats, rabbits, frogs, fairies, gargoyles, green men and so much more. So if you're ever in South Carolina just about an hour northeast of Columbia, on Highway 15, south of Bishopville - this is it, and they tell me they have no plans to close any time soon. A visit is better than paying shipping charges on the weight of these things. Phone shot. =)

Update: They have a website - https://www.smithsconcrete.com
They also have a catalog that includes items NOT shown on the website. It's in PDF format for download.
Sounds a fabulous place. I’ll take the Sasquatch !

Good place to find a treasure.
July 30th, 2024  
Looks plenty to choose from
July 30th, 2024  
They seem to offer a great selection! Too bad it's way too far for us. It's the kind of places I like to see!
July 30th, 2024  
Sounds a great place to mooch around.

Looks like a fun place to shop.
July 30th, 2024  
Good capture
July 30th, 2024  
Oh, I'd like to spend some time exploring there!
July 30th, 2024  
Acres of treasure hunting fun!
July 30th, 2024  
Very cool. Must be fun to shop there.
July 30th, 2024  
A fun smooching around place…
July 30th, 2024  
Now that looks like a good place to browse around for something special.
July 30th, 2024  
I could spend so much time there just browsing!

@pusspup Thanks, Wylie! Whoa! I'd hate to see the shipping charges on it. LOL! They'd three times as much as it would cost to buy it.

@wakelys Thank you, Susan.

@dkellogg If you like these sorts of things - yes! Prices are reasonable too. =)

@onewing You can't see it all in an hour! =)

@corinnec Thank you, Corinne. If you're ever down this way - I'll meet you there. =)

@ziggy77 It's better when it's not so hot out there. =)

@kvphoto It's interesting. I really liked that place in North Georgia where I found the satyr, frog, green man, and little gargoyle. But just a little too far for me to go. =) It was on one of the backroads into North Carolina. What's that four-lane highway that goes toward Franklin and Tallulah Gorge?

@joansmor Thank you, Joan.

@ljmanning Yes! Good to spend some time roaming around there. =)

@k9photo Yes, ma'am. =)

@mittens Thank you, Marilyn.

@beverley365 That it is. =)

@ludwigsdiana Always something someone wants. =)

@bigmxx A good place for that! =)
July 30th, 2024  
A good selection, that reminds me of what we used to sell at our family Garden Centre.
July 30th, 2024  
@marlboromaam that would be Hwy. 441.
July 30th, 2024  
@craftymeg Thank you, Margaret.
July 30th, 2024  
Good places like these are hard to come by when you are looking for something in particular
July 30th, 2024  
@kvphoto Yes! I think that's it. The little concrete place was somewhere around there long before you get to NC. =)

@rontu Oh I know! All the places that were close by that sold these things have closed down... which is very sad.
July 30th, 2024  
Lots of treasures to be found
July 30th, 2024  
@rensala Whatever you fancy. =)
July 31st, 2024  
@marlboromaam I'll let you know :-)
July 31st, 2024  
Sounds like a very interesting place
July 31st, 2024  
That is not too far from where I used to live as a teen!
July 31st, 2024  
It would be fun to wander around there

@corinnec Okee dokee! =)

@bkbinthecity Thank you, BKB.

@frodob Really? Dalzell? Rembert? Where? Thank you so much, Mark.

@kjarn Always something new to see. =)

@haskar That's a good way to word it. =)
July 31st, 2024  
@marlboromaam Rembert.... at the top of Spring Hill. Two story white plantation with the history landmark. My father sold it a few years ago
July 31st, 2024  
@frodob Oh that sounds so nice! I love those old plantation homes. So much character in their design vs. "ranch" style around here.
July 31st, 2024  
What did you buy there mags ?
July 31st, 2024  
@phil_howcroft Two fairies, a collie, a green man, a Roman goddess, two gargoyles, an angel, a rabbit, an Eos, and I have another rabbit to pick up when it's ready. They're all featured in my albums. =)
July 31st, 2024  
@marlboromaam 😯wow 😯😘
July 31st, 2024  
@phil_howcroft I have spread out the buys for my budget. =)
July 31st, 2024

July 31st, 2024  
@blueberry1222 Yes, I'm sure. =)
