GNOME INFORMATION
SIZES | CARE INFO | HISTORY | SPIRITUAL MEANINGS
These wonderfully, handcrafted gnomes can be a year-round or seasonal decoration. A gnome can go anywhere! Home or office there is always a place for a gnome and they are waiting to bring joy to your family and friends. They are a great gift for any season.
Each original handcrafted gnome takes several hours to create. Sourcing the materials to help create the "personality "of each can be quite a project in itself. Materials will vary. Most of the hats have a wire inside so you can bend it however you like. These whimsical gnomes have a multitude of embellishments that are carefully chosen to define their individuality .
Please keep in mind, these Gnomes are not toys and are for decorative purposes only.

SIZES
Our gnomes come in various shapes and sizes. They range from approximately 10 to 18 inches in overall height. I do not stretch out the hat (that has wire bends) to add to the measurement. I measure to the highest point/ bend of the hat to their bottom. Those with legs will add another, on average, 12- 15 inches. Average width of each gnome is approximately 3.5-6 inches. (do have some larger and smaller). Approximate measurements shown on wall behind pictures. All are weighted so they can be easily adjusted.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Please spot clean only. We do not like water.
We are very bottom heavy, please pick us up around the middle, not by our hats.
Our hats may contain wire and will need adjusting when removed from packaging.

What is a Gnome? Gnomes are also referred to as a Tomte, Nisse, Tonttu, or Gonk. Tomte-Nisse or whatever you may call them - they inspire wonder and magic. Their conical hats are worn to help them move through the earth as easily as we walk upon it. The sun may turn them to stone. Their magical powers are used to reward and protect. They are guardians of what is treasured. It is no surprise that so many people believe they bring luck and protection to our home. |
