Late last summer, I picked up these two cute little houses for next to nothing with the intention of using them in a Fairy Garden. However, it turned into a Gnome Garden.
I love this little one with the moss roof.
I went to Lowe's and bought some little plants - a few of them I only paid $1.00 for. Sometimes, they put plants on those sale racks that just need a little water and love.
We have a wonderful neighbor Betsy who takes care of Bella when I'm gone. She loves Bella so and Bella returns the favor. However, anytime Betsy is out in her front yard which is across the street - Bella stands at the gate and throws her head back and howls and howls and howls. She does that until Betsy comes over and talks to her and lets her know she is one of her favorite dogs. (Betsy has two dogs, but Bella still thinks she is the favorite! We don't tell her any different).
Bella cracks me up! She wants all the love! Your Gnome houses and gardens are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteBella is so sweet ! and the gnome home is so cute ox
ReplyDeleteYour gnome garden is adorable! Can you put fairies and gnomes together?
ReplyDeleteOh! I love your gnomes and their homes...too cute. I have some homes but not as cute as yours and no gnomes. Isn't that sweet that your neighbor comes over to Bella. I have 2 dogs and my neighbor has 2 and they always run to the fence and my girls want out when they hear Maisy and Snow "calling". I don't know what I'd do without my "girls" (2 dogs and a cat and now an orphaned little kitten.)
ReplyDeleteA very darling gnome garden, Judy, so whimsical and fun! Bella is a beautiful dog, and I don't blame her for demanding all that attention from her sweet caregiver! She deserves it!;)

Love the gnome garden. That Bella, she looks just like Lili. How cute that she wants your friend to come and say hello to her.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, Judy.

Your little gnome garden is so sweet and so it Bella! I finally finished my back yard pool wall (on the blog), now I can start a new project, maybe a little fairy garden!! Have a super weekend coming up! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI'd like a gnome garden too! Ever so sweet looking and the homes are adorable! Wish I had one too!
ReplyDeleteI think it was perfectly suited for gnomes. My niece did the same thing, bought the things for a fairy garden, and ended up with the gnomes. I actually think I like them better than the fairies and I'm very partial to fairies!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a carer for Bella that you know she really loves. Your little gnome houses are delightful - right up my street - would love to find some like this. Betty
ReplyDeleteLove the little houses, plants and gnomes!
ReplyDeleteCUTE little moss covered house:) Oh Bella is just too cute! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteLove it Judy!! I am thinking of making a fairy house with my grands this summer!!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute little houses, I love your miniature world! How nice you have such a kind neighbour and that Bella loves her :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, dear Judy.

Those houses are adorable, I think I might need some of those..........if they are the right price. I love Bella too, she is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the way animals think. Bella sees her neighbor/friend and calls her over for a chat. Love that!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your little gnome garden. I live in NYC and just purchased two little ones at a garden center to put in my flower boxes. (City back yard)
ReplyDeleteBoth my late husband and best friend originally came from OK- El Reno and Bristow and your blog certainly gives a wonderful peek into the world that they have told me about.
That is so funny about Bella!! I think that you will start a new fashion for gnome homes!! They look lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteBella's a darling, and that's so cute that she howls for attention...nice to have another person in her world that loves her too.
ReplyDeleteYour little gnome houses are darling, and yes I haunt the sales racks too...lol.
