Gnome is Where the Heart Is

Gnomes are often found in the garden. They are associated with good luck, positive energy, bountiful harvest by providing guardianship over animals and families.  

I have this (not so) secret fondness for gnomes. I don't know when it started or what it is about them I love. All I know is that I find them so cute.

My kids already call me the crazy clock lady.  So I take pictures of interesting gnome merchandise instead of purchasing them so I don't end up being the nutty gnome mom.

We passed by a Christmas store while we were in Banff, Canada. Check out the price tag for the 6-piece gnome pageant. This is definitely a 'take picture' gnome, rather than 'take home' gnome.

I was tempted to buy this Christmas mat since the price tag was kinder to the budget but I reminded myself that I would not know where to put the mat and that I would probably have a hard time cleaning it when it got dirty.  I snapped a picture of it before leaving the store.  I'm glad I did because when I passed by the store the week after, they were all sold out.

I have a lot more gnome pictures on my phone but I still have to dig them up. These are the more recent ones.
