No gnomes, we do have a metal bird sculpture (my husband made it out of scrap) a Leprechaun, a Gargoyle, a spitting Angel (we call him Chucky...that's who he looks like), two big earthenware lions and a lion's head and an assortment of fish/lizard/sun/moon plaques/wall art. Inside we have a lot of large figures (some almost life-size) 2 x Charlie Chaplin, 2 x Chefs with boards, a butler, two giraffes and a guy who looks like Einstein, carrying books (I took off the fake books and use him to "carry" my gardening mags).
I just read the list....sounds like a house of horrors when you see it in print...Ah well...no winning a place in Better Homes & Gardens magazine!

I have a plastic garden gnome from Germany that used to reside in my classroom (I taught German, of course). The kids would sneek him out of the room and send me cell-phone pictures from all over the campus with little messages from "him"-we called him Polycarp.

Have gnome, will travel. Also have a gnome door in the roots of a tree. Just remembered, moved the gnome over to new place but left the door on the farm, must make note to self. Poor gnome has to stay out in the elements at night now.
