I bought her at Summer House in Mill Valley today. I love that store. They often have a few (expensive) Santos. I went there looking to see if they had any wooden hands/arms and they did, I almost bought one for $120 and then I thought wait, this is a lot of money for something that I just want to photograph. I bought a couple of marbles and some saint b/w tiny photographs from Mexico and she was behind the counter. I almost didn't ask how much they were asking for her because everything else was sooooo expensive (the head of a santos figure, just the head, was $875 but they said they have lay away!). I snatched her up before I had time to change my mind. She is beautiful.
