Yesterday Charlene M Delany a Facebook friend posted the photo and caption above. After liking her post, I couldn’t stop thinking about the photo of the religious statues. This morning after meeting friends for coffee, I decided to stop by The Open Doors Thrift Store, Second Glance to see if the St. Joseph and St. Anthony statues were still on display, and find out if they were indeed for sale. After a quick scan of the glass and collectable area of the store, I was directed to their back room, where I immediately spotted them on a display shelf, exactly as shown in the photo on Facebook yesterday morning. As I approached the shelf I was thrilled to see they both were labeled with very reasonably priced sale tags! As I carefully lifted the heavy statues from the display, my heart was fluttering with joy, as I carried them to the cash register to purchase them!
After a quick wash and polish, they were added to our family altar!
They make beautiful additions to our collection!
Second Glance is located on Pond Road, Gloucester Ma.
Good Morning Gloucester 
That is AWESOME! What a win/win! Viva!

This is so touching and beautiful! As a non-practicing but secretly still caring and committed Catholic 😉 I find this humble altar to be particularly poignant. It actually brought tears to my eyes! I was hoping it would remain just as it was in the picture; but perhaps now all of the other lovely statues will find new and loving homes. Thanks for sharing. The pictures of the altar invoked in me feelings of great humility and reverence. What a lovely gift from Second Glance and GMG! Thank you.
