Gnomes in the Garden

July 18, 2015 By Karen Creel

I love garden gnomes and have managed to accumulate a few.  I think a couple of them may be part of the 7 Dwarves crew but I like them none the less, and consider them my gnomes.

This little concrete “gnome” was grabbed up at a local flea market for $5.00.  I almost felt guilty for paying so little for him.

My gnome welcome sign has been around for a few years, and last year’s snow took a toll on him.

He has been repainted with outdoor craft paint, and now sits on my deck  greeting all who venture in.

My gnomes aren’t limited to the outside.  I think they bring me luck so they are have made their way into my dining room and office.

This little gnome was purchased to create a garden basket,

but  made his way into a teacup at Christmas,

and now rests in my dining room cabinet.

 

I picked up this miniature plastic gnome at a local estate sale. I think he is pretty old, and stands guard in my office protecting my push pins.  You never know when someone may want to come in and take a few!

I hope you like my garden gnomes, and the next time you find one, bring him to your home for good luck!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
