Once you let a gnome in your life, you’ll never be without one again! Our house is crawling with gnomes. We have unassuming gnomes and rather ostentatious gnomes. We have gnomes that love to tell stories and shy ones that prefer to listen. We even harbor a couple rather naughty gnomes, but down deep, they have a …

I am making hobby horses for the grandbabies for Christmas. I’m trying very hard to make most of my gifts this year, and if I do buy, to buy American made…but this is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. I add a new character to each of their Nativities each year, and those are Fontaninis from Tuscany! So …
