These gnomes ornaments are fantastic, $7.
They remind me of this book from my childhood ($2.20 from Amazon).

I was obsessed with that book. I keep meaning to buy a copy! There was a second one where he talked about Gnomes Around the World.
I’m sure you have already seen these cards already but they are just so adorable, I couldn’t help mentioning. http://www.eggpress.com/holiday09/shop3103.html
Ha! That book is the best … I think I am going to have to get my own copy. And I am glad you like my little dudes!
My Mom and I used to make ornaments almost exaclty like that out of salt dough, only we called them Nisse. We used a garlic press for the beard. I had that book too…awesome!
That book is darling! I love the bright colors on the cover. Gnomes are such mysterious, entertaining little creatures.
We had a set of those books in miniature they were fascinating – liked the part telling the difference between the males and females!
Love your blog x
I HAVE that book! I thought I was the only one!!
So funny, I went home with my boyfriend for thanksgiving and he had that book from his childhood – I’d never seen it before. I was like, This is for kids?! there are gnome boobs in here!
haha! Such lovely illustrations.
He’s a cute little gnome. We had hat book when I was a kid. I remember my mom got some figurines that matched the man on the cover and a woman from a Scandinavian shop too.
I love the ornament, and the book looks darling. It reminds me of the show “David the Gnome” I used to watch on Nickelodeon as a kid – my favorite!

We share so many childhood books. This gnome book was one of my favorites!!! As you recall, Goodnight Moon and Scuppers were two others that made my list.
