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!
