Yeah, Zombie Gnome tends to be a bit grumpy, too. Friends gave him to us after I got Paul. 2 makes a collection and this is how all that fun must’ve started …
I did that with teddy bears. I couldn’t have them as a kid as I was allergic to them, so later in life, after being on allergy shots since 1975, my mom and I were in a department store just before school started – she said “what a cute teddy bear!” She said “you missed out as a kid – I’ll get this for you.” and that started a collection of bears of all sizes, from my mom, friends – some I bought myself. I stopped at 52 bears – the house is small and they were everywhere!

That’s a cute story. As a teenager I was a proper vegetarian, so people started giving me stuffed pigs … They must be still around in my mums basement. I got 2 new gnomes last week — you gotta be careful with collecting …

That’s funny about the pigs too Jeanine. Oh yes … one is just a ornament, two starts a fascination with them and soon your “collection” is encroaching everywhere!

Love the trio of gnomes overlooking the gardening tasks… but yikes, that eyeball-popping horror gnome is super scary!! Perfect for upcoming Halloween, yay đ đđ
Do it đ I might add some pumpkins and stuff. I don’t have a garden anymore but do have a decent size terrace. This year I spent some of my Covid-19 worker payment on 3 palm trees, an olive tree, fairy ornaments, crystals, a nice little table, and I’m waiting for a Buddha statue to come. It really looks a treat when sitting next to it with a beverage. Only small scale as I don’t have that much room to play. It’s my little haven at the mo đ Balconies and terraces rock!

Would love to see your new items! – Same here. Our shoe box is blessed with a tiny boxy balcony … Altough for people like you and me a small place might actually be a blessing. Who knows how much stuff we could aquire …
OMG! Thanks for this one Linda. We’re not big about Chritmas in this house but I get one new ornament this year. Considering this strange 2020 it might be an important purchachse. The kind you tell your grand children aboout …
I’m glad you could open this link Jeanine. A friend of mine posted it on Facebook – I had to send it to you as you can have some fun with this. I’m not big on Christmas decorating anymore either – I used to decorate a lot inside from items collected through the years (the house is done in a country flair), but it’s just me and no one comes to visit, so I’ve become lazy about decorating. You’re right – this year is for the ages and deserves its own ornament, even if is at the expense of Santa. đ

Decorating can be a great part of looking forward to something. — We just do Christmas for our offspring and Oma. I’d rather take the money and go on a little trip but these days will come, too đ

I agree with you Jeanine. It is more memorable. I used to spend the entire day after Thanksgiving decorating the house with all the country-type Christmas items collected at craft shows over the years. Now they sit in red and green tubs in the basement.

I’d say, do it anyways and throw a fundraiser or a part but there’s this whole social distancing thing … Hang on to them, maybe they increase in value đ

I know – the older I get, the less inclined I am to spend a lot of time decorating when the only person who sees it is me. The last idea you had is the best.
Gnaughty gnomes must gnow do all the weeding and mowing as well as snow removal. đ
Yeah I know, they are certainly in the bad books rihgt now. Although, my survival rate of lavender in pots is 0%
That’s an angry-looking gnome – he doesn’t fit in with the trio of happy-looking gnomes.

I hope you can open this up Jeanine – likely it will go to SPAM – it is a Christmas ornament of Santa Claus with a mask on. How kitschy is that?
