Garden gnomes always bring a smile to my face! Each one seems to have a little bit of good-natured mischief about them. After doing a little online research, I discovered that gnomes are part of German folklore. They are symbols of integrity, honesty, and hard work. The whimsical creatures are said to guard hidden treasures in the earth. I found the hard working garden gnome in the picture at
Kimmel Gnomes. Kimmel's has a great vintage collection to browse.

i love them too, there is something just so fun and funny about them. they were pretty huge at the bottom of the earth (southern chile) where i was living before. and it makes a lot of sense, because there was once a pretty large german population there.
