Are you a garden-less condo- or apartment-dweller? Are you craving a little outdoor charm indoors? I have just the solution for you!
Formerly seen as a tacky garden accessory, the Garden Gnome has become quite trendy and has even taken on new forms. Check out UK design company, Vitamin’s Urban Gnomes that come in plain bone china and a light-up “Glow Gnome” variety. While they don’t scream “garden,” these guys are a great way to add a sleek-yet-quirky element to your home.
Gnome and Garden: A Gnovelty Kit available through Unica Home (www.unicahome.com) or Amazon (www.amazon.ca) features a miniature garden gnome, tiny faux garden with faux flowers and an illustrated book on the history and mythology of these whimsical little creatures. So order your own bearded good luck charm and keep him on your coffee table, kitchen counter or windowsill for a little spring spirit indoors.
