Gnomes

These gnomes ornaments are fantastic, $7.

They remind me of this book from my childhood ($2.20 from Amazon).

   I was obsessed with that book. I keep meaning to buy a copy! There was a second one where he talked about Gnomes Around the World.

   My Mom and I used to make ornaments almost exaclty like that out of salt dough, only we called them Nisse. We used a garlic press for the beard. I had that book too…awesome!

   That book is darling! I love the bright colors on the cover. Gnomes are such mysterious, entertaining little creatures.

   So funny, I went home with my boyfriend for thanksgiving and he had that book from his childhood – I’d never seen it before. I was like, This is for kids?! there are gnome boobs in here!

   He’s a cute little gnome. We had hat book when I was a kid. I remember my mom got some figurines that matched the man on the cover and a woman from a Scandinavian shop too.

    We share so many childhood books. This gnome book was one of my favorites!!! As you recall, Goodnight Moon and Scuppers were two others that made my list.
