The Gnome House

I have been semi-obsessed (well possibly totally obsessed) with gnomes for several years now. I just love them. BUT I am apicky  gnome lover. I tend to like more classic looking ones, rather then the cartoony (dare I say "cheesy" ones). I try to control my desire to give my style gnomes a home...otherwise I would have been the Gnome Lady by the time I reached 30. I only have a handful, but I think the ones I have are just perfect. I got a new addition for my birthday...So Meli and I made sure they all had official names this morning. There has been disputes about what we have named them in the past...so here are the introductions.

We have...

Georg, who I got in Germany a few years ago. He is my oldest one since Sebastian 1 and 2 are sadly no longer with us. They met their end at the hands of a 1 year old boy who will remain nameless. I named Georg after (German version of George) the Housing director I worked with in Germany.  It was very fitting because the real Georg smoked like a chimney and this little gnome is a smoker (incense).

 This is my mini garden gnome, Corby O'Neil (short for Corben). Colin named him. He keeps my front porch flowers company. You never know which pot you will find him in. Meli thinks it is funny to move him around.

Excuse the blurry picture. It is cold out there. This is Pippin. Named by Will. I was going for Peppin, but he refused to call him that. Probably due to Lord of the Rings. My dork.

The newest addition is Landers. Christianed by Meli. I gave her the choice between Frederick, Landers and Neville. She thought he looked like a Landers.
