Who wants Gnomes when I have three live Sandhill Cranes, momma, papa and youngun' in my yard nearly every morning. They will get within six feet of my little dog and she doesn't bat an eye.

I have a couple of Gnomes, Flamingos, a cast metal Rooster, a few garden Fairies, and two large Cranes. Oops, I forgot the Gazing Balls and the concrete St. Francis of Assisi. They make me smile.

I tend to take them and move them around the neighbourhood! Sometimes it's funny to watch to see who has who's and the kick they get out of finding their own!

No gnomes but several cats and a few stakes that are flower or butterfly designs. Most of my yard art is old metal though. An antique wheelbarrow and lots of various sizes old buckets and wash tubs.

I don't, but want some now I have seen the movie lol...it was cute. I told my cousin that it would always make me smile now to be able to look at a couple in my garden....a red and a blue.

I have a handful of gnomes hiding in my flower beds, a bunch of iron lawn art made from broken gardening tools that are spray painted bright beautiful colors, a TON of turtle lawn decorations scattered around, water baths, and a huge almost 5 feet iron bird that 'balances' upright. Its pretty neat, its kinda like the bird that drinks water from a cup when tapped- but Super Sized! We have a huge yard..

Next im collecting birdhouses for each of our wooden posts on the gate.. Sure gonna be ALOT of birdhouses!

My son,his girlfriend and their friends have gnome family that post on fb called the Cooder family. They take them all over the place and take pictures of them. They all have alot of fun with their traveling little gnomes.

I agree they stoled flower pots out of my yard over the winter,Not fancy ones just some large plastic ones. :?
