Gnome Garden...

Just thought I'd pop in to show you some enchanted gnomey goodness.

My hubby and I have been paying our garden some attention this past week. We've built a raised bed and have planted some veggies ..... watch this space - we've never done this before!!!

I had this container from last summer, and the gnomes and mushrooms were pretties that I found at Target at the beginning of summer. A couple of cacti (they're more difficult to kill, I believe:-) and some pebbles later, and I have my own little gnomie garden, which I absolutely love. The red bench was a wood one you can get at any craft store, which I painted red .... all gnomes need somewhere to sit and admire their handy work.

YOE has really inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try things I wouldn't ordinarily have tried .... Val you rock!!!

This is sooo cute and very inspiring! I love the mushrooms and gnomes you included, adorable!!! I think I need some gnomes and a gnome garden too.

I agree that Val's YOE swap is very inspiring and I'm having a ball creating and stretching my craftiness to try different things. I have to admit that I'm loving keeping some of the things for myself! Val, you really do rock!!!!

Kerry, you did an amazing job on your Gnome garden! I love the idea of making a Gnome garden in a container.

Good luck with your new garden!
