Description:

So, I was shopping at my local hobby/home store and saw some fantastic garden stuff. And you guessed it..... GNOMES :0) The little guys were calling my name and I just had to bring a couple of them home with me! So I thought it was time to start another gnome swap, as I know there are many other gnome-lovers out there like myself and I'd hate for them to miss out on the best picks in the stores.

You will have one partner each. Please send your partner two items. One actual gnome and one gnome related item (mushrooms, fairy/gnome door, gnome friend - such as a second gnome, fairy, deer, bird, or whatever fantasy creature/being you choose).

The second item could be whatever form you wish, handmade amigurami, notecards, small figurine, stickers, decorated canvas bag - just some suggestions. The sky's the limit.

Due to the potentially high postage, this is a US only swap - but feel free to start an international version. Please only those with a rating of 4.6 or better, I will check profiles prior to partner assignments. I am also giving a full month to shop (although I'm already shopping now, lol) due to the difference across the country of when gardening items start appearing in stores.

Spending limit is $15 before postage. If you are sending all homemade items, please ensure the quality is in line with the swap spending value.

*PLEASE take care when wrapping and shipping your items. We'd hate for our new guardian friends to arrive damaged.

In a nutshell: 2 items - 1 partner - $15 max

Happy Gnome hunting!

I went to JoAnn's today (Dec. 28th) and there are new spring items in- including gnomes!! So now I'm gnome-fortified too. This will be a great swap, more people will sign up in time. There is also an internet "Photo of your gnome" swap in the photography category, will be fun.

I will check around & see what is available here. I live out in the country in a small town. No JoAnn's here but a Michael's & a JoAnns up the highway about 20 miles. I will stash this swap in my watch swap & see what I can find. Karen in California

This is definitely on my watchlist. I'd like to join, but I'm a newbie. Is that ok? Definitely a cool idea!
