Garden Gnomes!


I absolutely love garden gnomes! I have had my eye on these little guys for a couple months and yesterday they were on sale! I wanted to buy all four, but my husband said he doesn’t care if they are a happy little family, which is why I only have two L

Here is a cute gnome I already had.

Gnome Facts:

1- They are a fairytale creature that lives underground and come up at night to help gardeners
2- If they are caught by the sun they turn into stone
3- They originated in Germany in the 19th century
4- They are believed to provide protection from evil sorcery
5- Common prank: People release them back into the “wild” by stealing them and traveling to places
(hence Travelocity’s roaming gnome)
6- Believed to be a good luck charm for your garden
7- Believed to make your plants healthy
8- They were originally made of terracotta clay

I just like Gnomes because they make me giggle. I think they are cute and they put a smile on my face.

  1. Not gonna lie... gnomes freak me out a bit but yours are very cute! You need to borrow your dad's copy of "Gnomeo & Juliet" not sure why he owns a copy but he watched it in his big, masculine truck while driving to work. Go figure....

  2. Your obsession with gnomes has had me baffled for years. :) Aren't you afraid they'll come to life in the middle of the night? Remind me to never sleep at your house ;)
