Incredible garden gnome

Posted by cathy_in_the_garden MI (My Page) on

I found this cute little garden gnome and just have to share him with others. He's not like most garden shop gnomes, he's really detailed and his face is so alive that I find him so remarkable. I moved him inside for the winter as a paper weight on my desk and I just keep looking at him. I named him Donald Jr. after my husband who thinks that I want another child - nope, I'll keep Jr. around, he's much easier to take care of!!!!

Here's his picture in my garden last summer: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/cathy_lawrence/DonaldJr.jpg

Where did you get yours?

The picture didn't load up that you posted but still curious where you got yours from. Mine was made in Germany by the grandson of the originator of the garden gnome. I got it from a place called Zwergli Gomes who has a nice web site showing how they are made. www.zwerglignomes.com

I'm still amazed at how life-like this little guy is. I like having him here in the house to keep me company. I know, I'm silly.

That is an adorable gnome! I'm a gnome person, and have collected for the garden over the years.

Be Safe, Rach

For all you Gnome people: Dollar Tree Store is having your favorite creatures at 25 cents each! Figurines, stepping stones, garden picks, etc. Great deal! And they are cute! I am a new proud Mama of 4 :-).
Hope there is a store in your area. Come and adapt some.

Pic didn't come thru....I have been drooling over a t-shirt that says "Hanging with My Gnomies" but just can't justify paying $22 for a gardening shirt!

I love the gnome! Great detail. I have 7 gnomes and 4 gargoyles watching over the garden. I found some at yard sales and others on the internet, always looking for something unique.

Here is a link that might be useful: GardenWeb
