Meet "Binwinkle"


He's our NEW Garden Gnome!!

"Lore has it that it is good luck to place a gnome in your garden, for they are known for sowing kindness and harvesting love. These small, bearded creatures with pointy hats care for your garden and all the creatures that visit it. With a gnome in your life, you might notice your garden is a little tidier, your blooms a little brighter - for gnomes enjoy performing honorable deeds without seeking recognition for them. They'll spend their days greeting you and visitors to your home, but when they need rest, they'll retire to their underground burrows. Don't expect a gnome to show you his burrow though, nor will he teach you their language. But you can know this: They kiss by rubbing noses, and they love the humans who share their homes with them.

This collectible gnome is named Binwinkle. He spends his days collecting mushrooms, planting flowers and helping with other chores in the garden. He's a hard worker and will bring many years of joy to you and your garden."

We snuck this little guy into the garden tonight. Anyone care to guess how long it will take Rob to notice he's there?

Lizzie says "What's that?!" I told her it was a gnome and she says "A gnome? silly" and walks off. LOL. Just thought I'd share that with you :)
