Mary in Baltimore

This is the latest in my "Bathtub Mary Travel" series. I found her in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. It's a charming neighborhood of rowhouses and eclectic shops, and considering the love for kitsch there, I think Bathtub Mary fits in quite nicely.





I found this lovely little Mary in a Grotto figurine in the Hampden neighborhood, also. She was on the shelves of a store called Junque, which sells just that...but in the nicest possible way. They sell a lot of other vintage Catholic trinkets, and it made me want to start a museum of Catholic Ceramics.

I fell in love with the city of Baltimore on this trip, and I might be a resident Mary-spotter there one day.
