Gnome wine makers know their craft and love the fruits of their labor. Was there ever a more magical drink?

Gnome On The Vine

Some Gnomes are free spirits who ride the range on their pony … but they always find their way home.

Gnome On The Range

Gnomes love to play with magic in secluded places. They have their fun away from prying eyes.

Gnome Hollow

I love flowers and the memory of my mother’s smile when I would give her a bouquet. My Gnome friend will bring her flowers now that I cannot.

This Father Gnome and his daughter came to me as I remembered my father. He was always there to support me every step of the way.

Gnome Father & Child

A Gnome family is a precious thing. This family appeared in my mind’s eye during a quiet moment in my garden. It is rare indeed to get them to pose for a portrait, even in my imagination.

Butterflies are important to their world, so Gnomes work to shelter and protect them. To lose a butterfly is to lose something special indeed.

They may choose to spend their days working magic to help people, but even Gnomes need some alone time in their cozy homes.

Gnome Alone

Ah, the life of a pirate! In the Gnome world, if you are ordered to walk the plank ... you can choose to fish instead. Of course, you must share your catch.

I'd Rather Go Fishing

This special Gnome is based on a reference photo of a friend's father. She calls him her real-life Gnome. They’re out there, and we are all the better for it.

I love to bake French baguettes. So, of course, my Gnome Chef feels the same.

Gnomes are happy beings. Sometimes, they actually dance with joy …

Celebrating Gnome

Gnomes love bees and protect the natural world. We should heed their example and do the same.

Bee Keeper

After a long day of using magic to help others, a Gnome deserves a break … and a nip of the local brew.

Afternoon Break

If I my be so bold ... Merlin Gnome is king of all things magic and is revered by one and all. He provides magical lessons and guidance to any who have need.

Gnomes are inspired gardeners. They tend the good green earth and share its bounty.

Gardening Gnome

Recently I thought I had lost our beloved elderly Maine Coon Cat. When I finally found him, I cried and hugged him with relief. Likewise, this Gnome had lost his beloved mouse. After searching far and wide (and using a bit of magic), he and his friend have found him. His relief is palpable.

Lost & Found

As a child, I spent many hours in the library with my mom, a research librarian. I loved it. My Gnome Librarian is a tribute to that time … and to Mom.

Librarian

As diligent gardeners, Gnomes celebrate the magic of Mother Nature. We should all follow their example.

Let It Grow

I remember with fondness a kind friend who loved to knit. Creating this Gnome in her memory made me smile.

This is a very personal message from a Girl Gnome to me: Never give up or give in to the darkness. Your efforts will change the world.

Hedgehogs are very dear to our Gnome friends … and blessed to be so.

These Gnome farmers are great growers of mushrooms and other magical crops. If you’re lucky, they'll share the bounty.

Gothic Gnome Farmers

One of the things Gnomes enjoy most is taking a balloon ride over the beautiful countryside -- with champagne and chocolate, of course! Sometimes, they even travel the globe. Their magic will take them anywhere.

Gnomes Take Flight

How this Gnome longs for home! He has been gone too long and is filled with excietment and joy as his journey comes to an end.

Gnomes Journey Home

Most of us have an immigrant story in our past … and everyone has needed a helping hand from time to time. "Our kindness will be repaid in full measure." That is this a Gnome’s motto.

Gnomes Immigrant Friend

When a Gnome’s family says goodbye, he immediately looks forward to their return … and reflects on how lucky he is to have them.

Gnomes After They're Gone

Gnomes are wonderful travelers. They are curious about the world, love all living things, and have enough magic to take them anywhere … even the Great Pyramids.

Gnomemad

I have always felt that Hobbits and Gnomes are related. They even have their own magicians to protect them.

Gnome-dalf, Hobbit House

We all have the power to defend our rights and the rights of others … Gnomes included. This is my kind of magic.

Gnome-avist

When a Gnome is denied admission, the denier forfeits the Gnome's many gifts of magic. That is indeed a tragedy.

Gnome-allowed

Everyone has a first love or sweetheart. So it is for Gnomes.

Gnome Sweethearts

A Woodland Gnome is at his best in the forest. With his bag of magic at his side, anything is possible …

This Jedi Gnome is for my husband, a huge Star Wars fan. There are times everyone needs a special warrior to offer help, support and protection.

The great Gnome artists are touched by magic …

Gnome Astronomers watch for and study comets, one source of their magic.

Stargazer Gnomes

Like us, Gnomes take time to ponder where they are, where they’re headed and with whom they want to travel.

Reflect

Gnomes are unique, magical … and sometimes misunderstood. Some humans would stop them from crossing into their world. The sad thing is, Gnomes have much to share and their magic is a blessing.
