Gnomes in the News 
Did the power of gnomes help win the super bowl for the Giants?
"Forget
the bruising defensive linemen and the stellar quarterback play.
Brooklyn’s Jennifer Pernice thinks her lucky garden gnome — clad in a
blue Giants jersey — has been the key to the team’s stunning
late-season run." For more copy url

Yes, I am missing the point of the OWS movement(or am I) by
selling the gnome. I wish the gnome were not made in China but we
bought our inventory long ago before we became aware of certain
realities and we were blinded by starting a business that made us
happy. I can also point out that Skyecrafts is a mom and pop and
part time 10 yr old son operation with a house whose mortgage is
underwater. So, we know the pain.

Want
a sophisticated gnome? Or to give your gnomes a new finish due to sun
burn? A user on instructables.com suggests to spray paint your gnomes
white. Look for it under "Give a gnome some class!" Gnomes in one
color either white or gold make them seem more antique like or snobby.
I spray painted some cheap, sun bleached gnomes of my own personal
stash gold. The gold has held the color but truthfully, they look
tacky. So maybe white is a better call. Or try black marble.
PA police
searching for gnome-nappers
Posted on October 21, 2011 at
3:31 AMPALMYRA, Pa. (AP) -- Police in central Pennsylvania are looking
for some gnome-nappers. Twenty garden gnomes have been swiped from the
yard of a home. And these gnomes aren't that easy to take. They're
eight feet tall. Police say the crooks also got away with a dozen
solar-powered gnome lights. Officers are hoping someone will spot the
roaming gnomes and call police.
