Ok, for months I struggled with trying to come up with the perfect name for my 1963 Scotty trailer.....I was telling a friend my story of the "missing front lawn gnomes"....Years ago my childhood BFF had sent me 3 Gnomes from Germany....well I had them out under our 3 Ficus trees....
One day I noticed that one of the Gnomes was missing...hmmmm all I could think was how tacky that someone would steal a Gnome from our home....
Then several weeks later I noticed a second Gnome was missing...ok, not funny,,,time to call the Gnome Police.... then again a couple weeks later the 3rd one disappeared....ok, no more Gnomes for me.
Several days later while on the phone to my mom I mentioned the missing Gnome & she just starts laughing...finally she said, "well I wondered how long it would take you to notice!"...
My mom was the Gnome Thief!!!! lol!
Which brings me back to now..... I was out rummaging through a local Thrift shop & spotted this little Gnome,,,and for only a whopping .49cents!
Then I found some fun kitschy fabric with retro vintage trailers & Gnomes....it was meant to be....my Scotty with a potty is now the "Gnome Home"....
That's a perfect name. Scotty with a potty is cute too. We have a little game we play in our neighborhood with a gnome too but contrary to your missing gnomes we gift a lucky neighbor with it but it keeps coming back.

ReplyDeletenot only did mom not give them back but she took them with her when she moved to Palm Desert! lol!
