I have a gnome. His name is Isaiah, and he's always getting into all sorts of scrapes. Whenever my cat gets into trouble, I always suspect that Isaiah secretly put her up to it. But he's a cute little guy, which makes me want to buy all sorts of other gnome things for my house. And it looks like I'm not alone.
Lately gnome decor seems to be cropping up everywhere. I'll just have to be very careful not to let Isaiah see me smashing oranges all over one of his compatriots' little faces.

I recognize that Gnome book! I believe its the same one the school library had when I was in grade school. The book had a lot of cute illustrations and some strange ones too. There were drawings of Gnomes naked that the kids used to sneak peeks of and giggle.
How funny. We probably would have picked up a few of these things had our offer on "The Gnome House" panned out.

@StudioStarter My grade school library had the same book too! It's a fascinating collection of gnome lore and culture. When I was 10 I actually thought there were gnomes in Germany and this was the definitive sociological study about them (yes, my imagination did run riot, still does). My coffee table needs this book.
Love gnomes. I have one named Gnorman.

Those gnome plates also have bowls, mugs and a pitcher if you want to go allout :) I've seen them at P.O.S.H. Chicago.
That book is fantastic. My grandparents had the original printing of it in their library when I was growing up and it was a favorite of all of the kids in the family. My grandmother passed it on to me for my birthday two years ago. Sadly it was ruined in a flood last summer. :-(
Yeah, I still have my Gnome book. Nekkid gnomes indeed! I loved that book when I was a kid.
I have no desire for any actual gnome accoutrements, though.
My gnome's name is Fitzwilliam. He's a troublemaker.

the gnome table is from Kartell right???
I had (and still have) that book! Got it for my birthday when I was nine. Yep, had that matter-of-fact continental sensibility re nudity, which raised my eyebrows slightly as a nine-year-old, but fascinated by the pictures, especially grotesque ones of the scary trolls. I must go and have a look now :) Thanks for reminding me!
Love Gnomes!!!

A friend and I exchange cookbooks but when he wouldn't tell me one he wanted for his birthday gift I sent him this one:

That'll teach him and I just hope the gnomes forgive me (as I only meant it as a joke, of course!).
My gnome prefers to remain anonymous. He's awfully cute and helpful, though. The spy museum's gift shop in DC has an adorable spy gnome with sunglasses and trench coat. One day, he will be mine!
i can still sing the david the gnome theme song all the way through. and i have a bedazzled gnome my best friend gave me in the 8th grade named mortimer. he's kind of a diva and has a pet hippo.
