I just don’t understand the cruel contraptions that humanfolk come up with to hurt helpful gnomes. A distant cousin of mine, Legolas, fell for the watering can baited trap and only has one hand to show for it. I probably shouldn’t even be providing a link over to the wee sadistic folks over at Perpetual… Continue reading Legoless

Gnome pendant
Was passing the wet weather by browsing Etsy for a few wee gifts for friends and came across this pendant. Not sure it was something I would wear, but there may be someone out there that would fancy it. I’ve come across all sorts of gnome related prezzies … who knew?
Balloon Seed Bombs
What a clever idea the wee folks at studio TX came up with … a seed bomb balloon with garden gnomes painted upon them. My German is a bit rusty (perhaps I need to send this to a relative to be translated), but the balloons made their debut at the Temporary Garden installation in Aachen… Continue reading Balloon Seed Bombs
Gnomes care to send the very best
Sarah has some great wee cards over in her Etsy shop. I noticed she is from Kansas City and wonder if she works as an illustrator at Hallmark? I believe there is some untapped potential around a line of gnome holiday cards, particularly birthday tree cards. (A few humanfolk have asked if I get any… Continue reading Gnomes care to send the very best
Night of the Living Gnome
There are strong opinions about keeping garden gnomes. Some articles have even gone so far as to tie dropping property values with the presence of a gnome. Perhaps those critics will turn their attention to the effects of acquiring a lawn zombie. Now, unless you are trying to impress other George Romero fanatics, or trying… Continue reading Night of the Living Gnome
Henry(?) the talking gnome
I don’t know many gnomes with the name Henry, but I’m certain if you renamed this guy he wouldn’t mind. The wee folks over at Wishing Fish offer a toy gnome that records what you say or sing and plays it back in an annoying and completely false representation of a “funny gnome voice.” Perhaps… Continue reading Henry(?) the talking gnome
Ground Farce
I’ve only caught a few episodes of Ground Force, but it is safe to say I’d rather have the team work on my garden as opposed to placing statuettes of the team in my garden. However, the wee folks over at Gardeners’ Tips spotted the option should you seek it out. Even better, they posted… Continue reading Ground Farce
Not anyone I know
These don’t look like any gnomes I have seen before, but the wee folks over at Generate are offering up these so-called “urban gnomes.” No word yet on their gardening skills, but I’m not holding my breath.
Bowling for Garden Gnomes
I may have been able to relate better to the *fun* of Outdoor Gnome Bowling, had it been Elf Bowling, but at least it may lessen the use of actual gnomes for tortuous entertainment. I hope it doesn’t influence the little ones to turn on gnomes as they grow older. The last thing we need… Continue reading Bowling for Garden Gnomes
Stark Reality
Apparently some humans find gnomes displeasing. Some even feel that gnomes decrease the value of your property. I beg to differ. Did you know that renowned designer Philippe Stark designed a line of gnome tables, which are part of the permanent collection at the Pompidou Centre in Paris? Take that. I suggest you keep these… Continue reading Stark Reality
