Brass Cranes
Over 20 years ago we bought a set of brass cranes at DeNikes in Rochester, Michigan. They stood 7 and 12 inches tall. They were at shop that carried Oriental along with other cultural art. The family room at our home in Pontiac, Mi. was done in grey, red, and black. The oriental statues, and pictures were a great backdrop for the cranes. The shop moved or went out of business before we moved to Orion, Michigan. But my cranes went with us. They sat on the ledges in the family room there. Now they sit on the top shelf of the built in bookcase in the bedroom.
I had looked at them often and wished they were larger so they could sit in one of the flower gardens outside. Then while looking through a catalog ( Cindy and Dave’s business) there was a set of brass cranes. One is 10 3/4 in. high and the other is 35 1/2 in. high. They arrived today and went right into one of the gardens.
Another thing to make me smile when I walk around the yard!
