Summer Gnomes
It’s summertime! Do you know where your gnome is?
Dollar Tree has summer gnomes in stock I saw two styles: a teal gnome in a blue striped cap with goggles, flippers, and a silly floatie, and a purple gnome with a blue floral cap with sandals and a surfboard
These gnomes are cheaper-made than the previous holiday gnomes but still kind of cute in a whimsical way. I was able to remove the floatie and flimsy breathing apparatus from the teal gnome and I like him much better now. I plan to make him accessories over time to suit me
It would be nice to be able to display them with the patriotic gnomes for Memorial Day and other patriotic holidays, but to me the new ones look a bit cheaper. However, thethe patriotic gnomes look cheaper than the Christmas gnomes which have knitted caps.
Still, I like the sandals and hippie look of the purple gnome, and I may remove his surfboard and accessorize him myself, too. For $1.25 I can afford to experiment!
Interesting note: I left the blue one out in the rain where he got pretty saturated, and he dried just fine with no running dies or other damage. The floatie pulled off without damaging the fabric before it got left out in the rain.
Check them out at your local Dollar Tree!
