I admit that I am not a huge fan of garden ornaments really ...not the stone statue type anyway.
I just can't get my head around the appeal of a gnome !!!
A friends Mom recently died and her garden was absolutely full of stone statues ...animals, birds, gnomes.....she now has the job of getting rid of them....and no one seems to want them.
She was going to sell them but I think she will have to give them away.
If that doesn't work she will have to throw them away , which would be a shame as if you like that sot of thing they are very nice.
so, what are your thoughts on garden ornaments.....

My take on garden ornaments is "not too many." Some people can really go overboard with them. We don't have any gnomes at home, but we do have a gnome we keep in the camper pass through who we set out to stand guard during our stay. It's just a novelty.

I like a few. A few gives it a little personality. But when the yard starts to look like a garage sale, that’s too far.
One couple had the gnome from their home stolen in the Midwest of the United States. Bummed, but of course not devastated, the couple went about their business until 8 months later when the gnome returned with a scrapbook. Inside were pictures of college kids with the gnome in places like the Eiffel Tower, the Spanish Steps, and all these overseas iconic places. Some students from the local college had taken the couple’s gnome on a college trip and brought back a scrapbook of its adventures! The couple loved it!
