Four Seasons

It's hard to imagine but there was once a time when these four little souls did not get along very well. At least not in gnome standards. They were even known to send each other gnot-so-gnice looks every now and then! Gasp! The horror! The problem was that they each felt like the others were getting in their way. Spring's duty was to protect and nurish seedlings so that they could eventually grow into beautiful flowers. Summer was in charge of maintaining the flower beds and keeping everygnome happy with bright sunny days. Autumn was responsible for gathering the harvest while still trying to find time to clean old growth off of the trees. And it was Winter's job to keep the air cool and crisp and to inspect the snowflakes to ensure they were each unique. As you can imagine, it was hard for them to all work together, until one day they had a brilliant idea! Let's take turns! So now when Spring is working hard to nurish the fragile new life, the other three sit back and take a mini-vacation knowing that soon it will be their turn to work hard. I think it's a brilliant idea, don't you?


PERSONAL GNOTE:
OMG! I LOVE these guys. They're bigger than many of my gnomes but I really like how they turned out. I've wanted to make these for a long long time. In fact, this was a concept I suggested to another Etsy seller but for whatever reason she never did it.

This set makes me happy because:
1. I LOVE the rainbow gnome. The rainbows may be one of my favorite things to put on a gnome.
2. I really like how bright the poppies are.
3. I love how the autumn one kind of looks like a gord. I may have to consider that as a take on my fruit gnomes.
4. I really like how each fella has a different 3D item stuck to him. Especially the leaves.
5. I have such a hard time picking which season is my favorite! Why choose? Why not all four???
