My Birthday and Gnome House Anniversary


I'm celebrating my birthday Saturday and I thought I'd do a year in review of one of my favorite birthday presents from 2013...the backyard gnome house!
 Last May, Chris built me this gnome house out of a "free" structure that we found on the side of the road in our neighborhood.
Over the past twelve months, we've had fun decorating the little dwelling.
 Back in February, Papa gnome found his soul mate and we now have a happy little family living in this dwelling.
The most recent birthday addition to my little home are these solar powered toadstool lights.
Just look at the charming glow they cast at night!
In case anyone local is interested, they come in four different colors at our Meijer grocery store at $2.99 a piece.
Several of  you have asked if the interior of the gnome house is decorated.
There is a table and chair set along with a cozy bed.
As much as I love my dollhouses, I couldn't leave the interior empty.
It's the gift that just keeps on giving!!
Enjoy this long holiday weekend.  I'm not sure exactly how I'll be spending my birthday, but I'll be finding time to play and create!   
 Birthday Cheers!

Happy Birthday!

the gnome house is adorable, I think I like it best in winter with the snow, but I am glad that you have it furnished so the little guys can stay warm and cozy.

It's just so charming with the peeks into the interior! I'm going to be sharing this with my sister and niece- they love gnomes and fairy houses, so they'll love it.
Have a happy birthday tomorrow! If you'll remember, I'm one day later, on Sunday. We're going camping, but I'm hoping to sneak away to do a little antiquing as well!
