Purplemoon, Thank you for the sweet welcome! And thank you so much for that link. What a wonderful compilation of art---just amazing! Just as I expected, I was still up looking at the GJ Inspiration Album when I noticed the time -- 2:20 A.M. ! I didn't just look at the photos. I enlarged, cropped, magnified just so I could inspect every detail up to page 9. (guess you know what I'll be doing tonight when the family settles in and I have the computer all to myself. LOL) I had spent the last few weeks reorganizing, pulling out, moving, transplanting, changing focal points and now I have a whole brain full of new ideas thanks to all of you who have posted photos! I have an album at PhotoBucket but it only includes nicer areas of the gardens. Never dreamed anyone would be interested in my camping coffee pot or tennis shoes planters! I'll have to start taking new pictures and this time include what I used to think was "my way of saving the landfills and me being thrifty --- and anyway, who wants to see dirty white tennis shoes planted?". That's what I used to think, now I've found this board! Also, more about me --- other than a few 4", 6" and 8" clay pots to use as starters, there isn't a pot or plant stand in the backyard that I've ever paid for. I love curb shopping!

It looks like things are fast spoken for now, so no more emails please. For those who emailed, I'll get back to you tonight. Might be middle of night for you since I'm usually on here during the wee hours after midnight. Thanks for the fast responses! Nice to know my stuff will have good homes! Karen

My Garden Gnome
Q
Comments (18)
I bought my Gnome about a year ago. He is an antique 32 inch gnome and I haven't decided whether or not to touch him up a bit. Some cracks in his legs were glued badly, so you can see the drips. If I do touch him up, it would be to cover the glue and I would do it very minimally so that he still looks weathered.....but so that you could see that he has a pipe in his mouth, see his shoes better, etc.

Thanks Stacie and MKRuby :) I have everyone's questionaires that has posted. A few more days left any other little ones would like to play. I get to go to my daughter's school today for her class's Easter Party ~ I love EASTER and have been going to class party's for 22 years now!! I started in high school with my nephews'. Each year I try to bring baby animals of some kind for the kids to learn about - bunny's, chicks, kitty's, puppys... This year I am taking a Nigirian Dwarf Goat. 'Scooby' is a month old and one of 4 kids - he weights 2 pounds and is only 8" tall. Just WAY to cute! Have a great day everyone! Marie

I need directions to your village, for akup_a tea with thee.
I love your chair stair, going nowhere, where I'd love to be.
I've just started settling my fairie island. I guess that makes me "the mayor". hehe
To get to the island you have to go through the tunnel which is made from a cinder block that I painted black and glued stones to the front.
In the top hole of the cinder block stands the gate-keeper with his lantern. He used to be a wise man with a ceramic nativity set that got broke.
I cut up some landscaping logs in different sizes. Those will become fairie houses, some day. I save my used, loose leaf teas, dry them completely and will glue them onto the cut log pieces. That's as far as I've got.
I really enjoyed looking at your village and discovering your talent.

You inspire me to get mine out and get it set up finally this year in my secret garden. I mean that is a development and not just a village. Great work. Of course I will have time keeping my 3 GS out of it.

I LOVE it!!

Love that you have sooo much stuff around and that there's so much to look at. You've done a great job and yes, I can see all the love put into it, too!

Ok, you've inspired me. I have all this stuff to set up my gnome 'village' but haven't put it together and I really need to get this stuff outta the house!

Twomonths... did I miss something? What secret garden?
