One thing that I did manage to inherit was an awesomely hideous pattern for knitted gnome dolls around a foot or so tall. It's packed right now, but one day it will emerge into all its glory. Supposedly I used to have a gnome knitted from the pattern, but I have no memory of owning such an item. I do, however, own two little shelf-dwellers. I think it was synchronicity: my divorced parents, who do not speak to each other, each gave me one as a surprise. One is a real outdoor gnome made of glazed concrete, the other is a somewhat lighter one made of resin. I'd give you a link to France's Garden Gnome Liberation Front, but I don't have one anymore... I had about ten such bookmarks on my old computer. Maybe someone else will oblige, at which point the comments to this post will truly be complete! :) When you posted about tea carts recently, I mentioned that I had not managed to inherit my grandmother’s.

So cute. I have a little gnome on my desk that tends a little mini faux garden with grass made of astroturf. He also has a sheep (that's really weird and didn't come with him...but coordinates with his general silliness nonetheless). (As another aside, the sheep is from some german toy company...and it's anatomically correct, if you get my drift. Very disconcerting for a toy that's only 1.5 inches tall. My co-workers are odd people for giving me both the gnome and the sheep.) OMG! So cute. I have a little gnome on my desk that tends a little mini faux garden with grass made of astroturf.
