Iowa State Garden Stones

**goldmember** · 08-01-2010, 10:54 AM

I've seen various Iowa State Yard or Garden stones around the Des Moines metro region. Does anyone know where one could find these in the Des Moines/Ames area?

Thanks.

Earle May used to have a bunch.

I have one, but my brother and I just painted it ourselves. Pretty basic and nothing fancy, but just did yellow lettering (ISU) and painted the rest of the rock red.

Did you catch how much?

I was there about a month ago and saw one I was sure I was buying. Until, that is, I walked over, picked it up and saw it was priced at $139! About dropped it. Maybe that's market value on those things, I wouldn't know, but it seems awfully steep for a painted rock.

They have 3 different sizes at menards here in CR ranging from $80-$140 depending on the size.

Thanks for all the input. I had no idea they were that pricey. I may just make my own now.

I though I told you to stay away from my yard

I bought one at a craft fair a couple of years ago, prices were from 45 to 80. Guy would paint them on the spot and had all sorts of schools. May be a way to get one cheaper than the stores, but you may have to hunt around to find them.
