CARRIAGE lawn ornament, Stouffville, Ontario
This carriage sits in front of a home in an older section of town. Stouffville was originally settled by Mennonites but I don't know whether this is a local artifact or not.

Pretty darn nice lawn ornament.
That's just begging to be hitched to a pony and wheeled away.
If this were my carriage I think I'd take it out of the lawn and away from the elements. It looks like a really nice one.
What a beautiful carriage.
That's a great carriage. I wouldn't mind having that in front of my house.
I love those old carriages! And what a great shot! Beautiful! Enjoy your day!

Reminded me of the cycle rickshaws and carriages which were pulled by humans in Calcutta of olden days!!
This is a fine picture of this well preserved buggy. They always seem to have so much class and quality. Well done.
It certainly looks like it could be an authentic artifact. What a great selection for the day.
That's a great choice for C, I love it!
Looks real to me... we see lots of those in St. Thomas. Though the horses are attached and pulling.

Amazing that its a lawn ornament in front of someone's home.
Perfect choice for the letter C.
It would be interesting if you actually saw someone sitting in it, reading and having a drink... I would do that.
o that is charming
What a great find. You do get wonderful photos!

Cool carriage - now you have to take it for a ride!
interesting capture.
Lovely to look at but I wonder just how comfortable being a passenger in such a contraption would be :)
It looks fantastic - but also as if it is in need of some tlc.
CREATIVE take on our C week! I love the photo!

Interesting! In my country we still have carriages at historical sites for tourists to enjoy their rides. They are ridden by human, not ponies.
To each his/her own...but a lawn ornament ain't how I would use this. Looks like it should be in a museum; it's in fairly good shape.
Very fancy lawn ornament ^_^

This is certainly a distinctive lawn ornament. Won't find many more like that!! Great photo.
Hope that you visit my Calm & Peaceful post.
Interesting lawn ornament, it would look nice with some flowers in it, or perhaps just to sit in with a cooling drink.
Sweet shot. That carriage is gorgeous.
Nice! :)
We see a lot of those for sale around here.

Whenever I put anything in our garden, the elements chew away at it pretty fast... How does this pretty carriage survive for years?
Can you imagine that being your only way to get around? I cannot help but think back to earlier times when I go see Sarah, and think if this had been even a hundred years ago, it would not be quite so easy to go see her.
