So, our garden is new, but Heidi thought there was something missing:

1. See, now that's pure class

:D

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

4. LOL!

They had a whole variety of rather unusual garden dwarfs ... :hide:

:hi:

[billyskank]

6. And Heidi could resist...?

:D

[terrya]

2. A rude garden gnome! YES!

Props to Heidi. :-)

:thumbsup:

:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

5. It was 50% off,

otherwise she wouldn't spend a penny on these things. After I saw it, she wanted to give it away immediately. ;)

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Isn't that the one

that Basil Fawlty wanted to give to Sybil?

[Call Me Wesley]

7. I dunno.

But there's also one with a knife in his back. :)

[BarenakedLady]

8. Hehehe

I love it!

:thumbsup:

[Call Me Wesley]

10. It's pretty cute.

:hi:

[LaurenG]

9. I think that should be adopted as the lounge mascot.

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

11. LOL!

Perfect smilie, eh? :rofl:

[trof]

17. Second the motion.

[CottonBear]

12. LOL! He's so cheerful!

BOSSHOG would LOVE this gnome. He has a collection of them in his garden in Mississippi. I doubt he's seen this one yet! ;)

[Call Me Wesley]

13. Just point it at your neighbors.

I'm not sure this one's available in the US. :hi:

[CottonBear]

15. I'll have to look online for this guy! He is so charming!

I'm afraid my homeowners association would not like the gnome though! ;)

BTW, I love your new garden. I'm a Landscape Architect and I'm very impressed. You must be a designer as well. It really looks wonderful and the view is to die for. I grew up on a mountain with fabulous views from our home. I miss it!

Enjoy your garden and your new little friend! :hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Thank you!

No, I'm not a designer (not of gardens, though), however it seems I have too many books about garden design. ;)

The garden gnome is made by 'Heissner,' if this helps. :hi:

[CottonBear]

32. Thanks! n/t

[LostinVA]

14. How much is it to get one of those things shipped to the US?

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Hmmm ...

I can't find any shop for it. If they have still one next week, I'll let you know and will ask you for pm'ing me your address. Then, everything's free! :hi:

[LostinVA]

25. That would be great!

But, I don't expect you to pay.

I LOVE garden gnomes (no, really), and this one is great!

[Call Me Wesley]

28. No worries.

I see if they still have this one. :)

[LostinVA]

29. Thanks, CMW

[Arugula Latte]

16. Is there one that is dropping its trousers to show its little gnome heiny?

That would be funny as well.

[Call Me Wesley]

19. There is, but I only found a site in the UK:

http://www.gnomeland.co.uk/Shop.htm

Click on 'rude/modern gnomes.' ;)

[Arugula Latte]

22. Cheeky, indeed:

:rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

21. Oh, I know a place in the states with such a gnome...

They're plastic but they do convey the message. I love tacky lawn ornaments but they were too tacky for me.

on edit: Heidi and CMW's new little feller, on the other hand, is too cute for words.

[Arugula Latte]

23. Tacky? How can you say this is tacky?!

[Gormy Cuss]

24. They're plastic! That's tacky. Now if they had made it with traditional concrete ...

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

26. Oh that's great!

:bounce: :)

[EFerrari]

27. I want one.

:rofl:

[tigereye]

30. goes well with the zen garden!

:rofl:

you guys are funny!

[ForrestGump]

31. F*** the gnome

(a line I never really anticipated ever saying)

You need one of these out there:



:D
