If there is one thing this bright soul loves more than anything else in the entire garden, it's polka dots. Whether it be a tiny ladybug, a good spotted umbrella, a tasty chocolate chip cookie or even misplaced domino, there is something about polka dots that makes her smile. Whenever she sees them, she can't help but do a tiny little happy polka. As silly as that sounds, it just seems appropriate, wouldn't you agree? That's how happy they make her. Hand her a paintbrush and some paints, and it won't be long before her habit of painting polka dots on just about everything she sees becomes apparent. She giggles when she explains her motto, "When in doubt, polka dot!" So, it should come as gno surprise where this giddy little lady has found a home... You guessed it. She has found a wonderfully squishy polka dotted toadstool home in which to rest her tired polka dancing feet! Life can't get any better than this!
Everygnome in the community gneeds to find THEIR place in the garden. This goes beyond the relatively easy task of finding a gnice cozy gnook to call home, it also means they gneed to understand their role in making the garden a prettier place. Some gnomes decide to paint beautiful pictures while others help loved ones any chance they get. Some gnomes make the garden better by building cozy gnests and others invent gnew ways to get work done. There are so many options that it's gnot an easy decision to make, gno matter the gnome, but look at this itty bitty tiny little soul. She's so much smaller than most gnomes (and that says a lot), that she can't help but wonder what difference she can make. Shyly she sits quietly watching others go about their daily duties. She smiles at how productive they look. Much to her surprise, the busy souls can't help but pause and smile for a moment when they gnotice how cute she is standing there so innocently. Giving busy souls a tiny reminder to pause for a moment and smile? That sounds like one of the best ways to make the garden a better place EVER!!!
Everygnome has heard the saying "Home is where the heart is," and this tiny soul was gno exception. Ever since she was a tiny gnomeling, she looked forward to having a tiny place in the garden to call her own. She has spent many seasons looking for the perfect home. Silly girl. Instead of looking for comfy little gnook that makes her feel warm and fuzzy, she took the saying quite literally. Around the garden she would go, searching and searching for a heart. After all, THAT'S where her home would be because that's what she was told. She looked in the fields of grass - no heart, though she did find shelter under a happy dandelion. She looked in the forests of flowers - no heart, though she did love the scents that filled the air. She even looked along the creek side - no heart, though she did love the sounds of the bubbling water. A little disheartened, she sat down against a tree trunk and sighed. It wasn't long before the songs that the birds sang from the branches above her filled her heart and put a smile on her face. "What a wonderfully perfect place," thought the little gnome. Then suddenly, a gust of wind came and she found herself covered by a leaf that had fallen from the tree. Shaking it off, she couldn't believe what she saw! A heart! She found it! At last, she found her home!
There's a tiny little corner in the garden that, upon first glance, seems typical enough. There is a girl who lives in this corner and she dreams her pretty dreams, snuggled up gnext to a good cuddle buddy, and reads her books about pirates, fairies or dragons. She gives her sister plenty of hugs and always has a supply of little friends waiting to see what types of adventures she has in store for them today. At first glance, this little corner appears like a typical child's room, but take a moment or two and you'll see that it is touched by magic. This corner is touched by Ellie's imagination. Welcome to Ellie's garden - where inside every tulip, daffodil or bluebell lives a little gnome. Everyday is kissed by a shower of sunshine rain and the entire community is out enjoying the dance. Dew drops glisten like diamonds and happy thoughts are the only form of currency. A good hug is just a small hike down the path to the gnearest gneighbor, and a friendly thought is all it takes to put a smile on a gnome's face. Only time will tell what kind of adventures are in store for those living in this wonderful little garden, but with an imagination like Ellie's, I'm sure they can inspire many books to come!

Meet the Sweet Tooth Fairy. She smells like rich hot chocolate and is squishy like a marshmallow. Everygnome knows she loves chocolate, ice cream and any other sweet yummy thing that comes to mind. Like myself, she has small stashes of candy and sweets set aside for those must have moments, though she'll happily share if she comes across somegnome else in gneed of a sweet lil' pick me up! Sometimes this sweet soul can be a little gnaughty and takes gnibbles from kids' chocolate when they are sleeping. After all, it certainly couldn't be Mommy who ate it! Her favorite challenge is to catch you when you least expect it - after dinner when your tummy is full to the brim. Somehow she still manages to cast her little spell and entice you to finish your meal with a little something sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if she's even responsible for stitching your clothes just a little bit tighter! Some might say she is a menace to dieters across the entire garden, but nognome can resist her charm. I must admit, the Sweet Tooth Fairy visits me more often than she should. She will get us all eventually.... chocolate anyone?
Just look at this pretty little lady! It looks like she's ready for an adventure, and if you ask me, she just GETS IT. She knows it's not about being flashy. It's not about being bold. It's about being simple, peaceful, beautiful and classic. Enough said. Why else would she love daisies so much? They always make her think of her love and bring a smile to her face. Rightfully so. Another peaceful classic? Hiking. While she wishes she hiked more (which gnome doesn't?), she does love being outside. She just loves getting up into the mountains and smelling the pine. It reminds her of camping as a young gnomeling. She loves to pitch a small tent and camp the gnight away. Being out in the warm air enjoying the view and all that mother gnature has to offer... well it's gnearly impossible to get any more peaceful. It's apparent that her spirituality lives outside and in all the forces gnature has to offer, whether it's in the ocean and the powerful waves or in the quiet of a mountain top or valley by a stream. I may gnot be religious, but if you ask me I think she may be right, don't you?
I know a boy who is super inquisitive and bright. He has a great smile and a sense of humor to match, knowing just when to be serious even though he loves to be so silly. He likes to not only explore, but also understand the garden around him. He loves science with a bit of adventure and fantasy. I suppose it goes without saying that dragons fit right into his corner of the garden. Dragons are easy to like because they have magical powers. Their different colors represent different types of power. White tones (the boy's favorite color) hold the power of ice and snow, and with that power the dragon protects his castle and the magical land it looks down upon. Personally, I'd like to be under the protection of an ice dragon. He's a lucky boy, that one... but the garden is even luckier for the magic his inquisitive mind brings to it.
There is gno one way to describe this little gnome. She is definitely a bright star in the garden in many ways. Being witty, funny, and a critical thinker comes gnaturally to this one. She also knows how to be a best friend and touch the life of many. There is gnothing this gnome can't do if she sets her mind to it. Or fire to it, just to watch it glow. This gnome would only joke about things like that to make her friends laugh. Gno matter how well her friends know her, they can still be surprised with her humor and wit and the next be amazed at her gentle beauty. With her love of vintage apparel, such as a cloche hat and fur scarf, one could imagine her a dame from an old detective gnovel - glamorous, yet always ready to solve a mystery!
There is gno doubt that this little gnome likes his beer! That's gnot all he likes, though. He treasures his friends with a fierce loyalty. He is always ready to help his loved ones individually and talk over coffee or be the perfect host and have them all over for some good beer and games. He has gnever stayed in one place very long and is determined to explore far beyond the garden wall. He loves to see gnew cultures and meeting gnew friends! This little gnome also knows how to work hard. He will do whatever it takes to follow his dreams even if that means relocating. Gno garden flood is going to stop him from learning! Gnow look at him! He is well on his way down his chosen path. Work hard, play hard, this little gnome lives life to the fullest!
This fair Irish lass has come out of her warm home to finally greet spring! She takes delight in gnew life and gnew opportunities, as her gname means "blossom" in gaelic. Among the gnew flowers and creatures that visit the garden in the spring, she is always looking out for that lucky four-leaf clover! Even without it, though, she knows that she is always lucky in her friends and family that support her. She brings a smile to all, and so much color to the garden around her as she reminds them that a gnew day always comes. She may look delicate, but she is ready to greet the change gnew opportunities bring and treat each beginning as a blessing.
It used to be that periodically this tiny soul would get super sick with essentially flu like symptoms. She wouldn't be able to do much other than lay on a comfy leaf and try to get through it. Poor little lady - her body was destroying itself, yet somehow she would always manage to be reborn from the ashes and spring back to life again. And oh what a life it is! This Phoe-Gnix brings so much inspiration to her loved ones in the garden! They know that they can always turn to her for support and kindness and it seems that she always has a contageous smile on her face. And get this... she is even going to help ME bring more color into the garden! Just by knowing her, I am blessed. I'm sure other gnomes would line up to say the same.
Gnomish legend tells of a family of grubs who could gnot understand why their loved ones gnever came back after crawling up the lily stems to the top of the water. A particularly loving grub promised to tell the others what happened to him when he was called to make the climb. Once he rested himself on top of the lily pad, he made a magical transformation into a dragonfly! In vain he tried to keep his promise, flying back and forth for his loved ones to see, but he soon realized they simply did gnot recognize him. Still, there was gnothing he wanted more than their happiness so he decided to continue to watch over his loved ones to help keep them safe. This little soul thinks that the Gnomish legend is so inspirational that he, too, has decided to help protect the things that matter the most, whether it be looking over his loved ones or guarding the family treasures. The dragonfly has a special place in his heart so he will always know he is surrounded by love.
You may have gnoticed that it's spring time. Perhaps you've heard the birds chirping their merry songs? Or perhaps you've seen the daffodils begin to show their happy faces. I'd be willing to bet, though, that you've missed more than you've seen. Do you feel that faint spring breeze? That's actually little gnymphs buzzing past your ears. Do you see the blossoms fall gently from the cherry trees? That's those same crazy gnome gnymphs playing tag in the branches. You don't believe me, do you? Try this... Go find a young gentle child who has a great deal of imagination. Chances are she LOVES dragons, bugs, trees, and the like. Ask her to look around the garden and tell you what she sees. My bet is she sees it all. She sees the magic in the dew drop diamonds and tree stump castles. She sees the little gnomes frolicking in the grass and the fairies flying from flower to flower. Maybe if you squint your eyes, tilt your head and allow yourself to believe, then you too can see the great heights you can achieve on the wings of imagination.
It's hard to decide which season is most loved by the gnomes in the garden, but one thing is for certain - when you see the daffodils popping up through the last remaining patches of snow, you can't help but smile. There is something about their excitement for spring that they can't seem to contain any longer. It's the daffodils that seem to be the first ones to cheer spring on with unspoken words of encouragement, and everygnome loves spring time because that's when all the tiny gnomelings make their first appearance in the garden. It's a magical time, but I'll be honest... when I see the very first daffodil show its bright face, I can't help but think of my own mother and the words of encouragement she has given me throughout the seasons. Sometimes they're spoken, and sometimes they're silent, but they're always what I have gneeded. My mother - always cheering me on - has shown me the type of gnome I want to be... one who knows just when a little snuggle is gneeded... one who knows the right words to say to convince their gnomelings that they can do anything they set their hearts to.
I would like you to meet a very special friend. I have given him the most important job that comes to mind. He is your new Treasure Keeper! He may gnot look big and tough to you, but I can assure you he is perfect for the job! Here's how it works... First go find an adventure, or let an adventure find you, then decide what plain looking items you find are holding a bit of magic inside. Whether it be a small rock, button, twig, bead, coin or even a jingle bell, it's up to you to decide which treasures are worth keeping. There is only one rule about deciding which items are worth more than they appear, and that is this: they must put a smile on your face and give your tummy warm happy thoughts. Perhaps your favorite small photo will do? Once you have found your happy thoughts, give them to your Treasure Keeper and he will be sure to guard them and keep them safe. And that's gnot all, gno siree! He happens to be great at keeping gnightmares away and always has a little cuddle in store if you ever gneed your bucket refilled. Sounds like the perfect tiny friend to me! Let the treasure hunting begin!
