I just bought my first home last year and have no clue about landscaping and flowers. This post got me encouraged to get out and do it.
Love it! The little Mexican gnome was a gift from my mom.
I can see we're going to have a lot of purple garden decorations this year.
I found an old garden gnome that all the paint has washed off. I'm going to try and paint him up to compete with @betsygee guitar playing gnome.
That sounds CUTE!
I love that spray paint. I did one of my lawn decorations with it. It is a large fat purple hedgehog now!
I've been looking at some of the decorations but I haven't bought any since I've focused on the veggie garden. I want a moose for my garden.

This June will make 6 years in our house. We've just slowly been adding on and doing a little more each year. It's nice to see how far we have come; but also to watch our plans grow. I think the fact that I enjoy my garden so much was a shock to my entire family. I've made my Grandfather proud.I just bought my first home last year and have no clue about landscaping and flowers.

Oh yes! Pictures please...

Good job! He looks very dapper! He looks like one of the seven dwarves (from Snow White). Doc I believe. He wears glasses.
I think he must have had glasses and a pipe once, as there are holes at the side of his mouth and eyes. They've been swallowed up by the forest though.
Beautiful!! And I'm really glad he's given up smoking....

You're right! There was a bit of orange paint left on his coat, I guess that's who he was supposed to be. Disney characters are so popular over here. I wonder if there are six others buried somewhere out there?

Right? So much better for his health.

You found him in the forest? What a find! My DH and I looked high and low for a Grumpy one but never found one. He always wanted a grouchy looking gnome to put in the yard! We did find a gnome in a local department store years ago and he ended up having to repaint it, too after a while. It ended up getting beat up in a storm and we had to toss it. Every now and then, kids would take him and I'd find him in someone else's yard when I was driving home from work. The little guy liked to visit, I guess.

Or maybe he's a traveling gnome who got lost??

You did a fabulous job--he looks great!
Gnorman The Gnome, before and after painting.

There's all kinds of treasure out in that forest if you know where to look.

Yes, there are treasures out there. Your boy Forest certainly was a treasure from the forest!

There's an abandoned, burnt out house not far from here with some huge ceramic planters outside of it. I'm always tempted to roll one home with me. Mr Husband tells me not to, but if a house has been left empty, with the doors and windows gone and all the furniture still inside for long enough for trees to be growing out of the roof I don't think anyone is going to miss a planter.
It's not stealing, it's recycling!
Absolutely!
