I couldn't resist begging hubby to pull over for this shot. We actually took a 10 minute detour just to snap it! This...in my book... is just one too manygnomes.
Still, in a very unexpected and fiercely terrible way ... they make me smile!
Obviously, they make SOMEONE happy!! And it DID put a smile on your face, so they served their purpose. That's quite a collection! I'm glad you shared. ~karen
C'est vrai que les nains de jardin c'est typiquement suisse ou est-ce qu'on en trouve ailleur ? Ils sont vraiment chou. Même que l'année passée à Bettmeralp à côté de la porte d'entrée de notre appartement il y en avait un qui nous faisait le doigt d'honneur chaque fois qu'on passait, euh, enfin il le faisait même quand nous ne passions pas :D On trouvait ça totalement fou comme accueil pour le touriste! Typiquement valaisan je pense ?!
That is a few. They have pills to help with obsessions.Sometimes people keep getting someone the same gifts thinking they are helping with a collection, not an obsession.
Allison, they make me smile too. In fact, just last week I purchased my first gnome. He is bright in color and pushing a wheelbarrow, and each time I pass him I ask "how much work did you get done last night". :) PS: Isn't it wonderful that we saw the same moon that night across the wide pond?

I don't know what it is about gnomes,they do bring a smile....
At least these seem to be somewhat vintage and cute in their own right -- some of the newer, cheaper gnomes made in China are atrocious!
Fun photos! I'm glad you took the time to snap them and share with us. :)
You're right...one is O.K. but this is a mob :).
I looks a bit like Snow White and the Dwarves gone wild!

My sis-in-law just said (in French) that she once saw a gnome that was set in front of someone's front door and he was... flipping her off! :)
ha ha! could you be made at a gnome that was flipping you off? i think not!
those are a bit of a crowd, but they're cute!

I m glad he made the detour so we can admire those smiles.

Looks like a wild bunch to me. I do agree it really is alot.
I can't help but laugh! I know I can carried away with things sometimes but...holy gnome batman!!
I don't blame you for going out of your way for those shots! :)
Gnomes.. the hobby's of some people! I wish I invented them, I would be miljonaire!
I'd like to bring a gnome home,,,M
Goodness! One gnome is one too many in my book. This is really too much!!!
Aren't those garden gnome liberationists still around? This should be a primary target for them!
