What in the world is a Stone Age Boulder Owl? Well, I'll tell you what it is. Today, I discovered an item that will delight owl lovers, gardeners, and carved stone collectors alike. Boulder Owls are one-of-a-kind garden ornaments carved from stone. As I looked at their little faces today, I wanted to take each one home with me.
Carved Stone Garden Ornaments
I enjoy nice garden ornaments and statues. I don't want many. Just a few expressive, quality items. I am also quite fond of stone. Stone of all kinds. So naturally, these little carved stone owls immediately caught my eye. The difficulty was not deciding that I wanted one, but rather, deciding which one I wanted.
Since I was seeing them at Sun Nurseries, I could see and touch each one individually. These little owls were so simple, yet so expressive. And because they are made of natural stone, they are substantial. Even at their sizes ranging from 6" to 18" they would be solid additions to a garden. Unlike many yard ornaments that are made from lightweight and flimsy materials.

Fairy and Miniature Garden Sized Owls
These owls are also offered in 2" sizes that are suitable for fairy gardens. I know precious little about these teeny gardens but have seen a few adorable examples. These smallest boulder owls are perfectly sized for miniature gardening.
Some reviewers report that the 2" owls are slightly less detailed. However, this makes sense to me due to their very small size.
Stone Age Creations, Ltd.
Once upon a time, there were two cousins who shared a passion for stone. They made a few carved birdbaths and benches that were sold locally. Since then, they quit their unrelated, full-time jobs and began earning a living doing what they love. They now manufacture and distribute their items to retailers (such as garden centers). I had the privilege of seeing MANY of their products: benches, birdbaths, stone lanterns, garden accents, and animals. Every item was high quality and beautiful.
If you like quality stone items, you should take a peek at their photographs on the Stone Age Creations website.
