Gnomes and Fairies Make Large Statements

Small statues such as gnomes and fairies can enhance your yard or garden.  Garden gnomes have always been popular. Take a look at a husband and wife team.  There is even one on a swing that you can hang from a tree and one that imparts his mystic wisdom.  These traditional garden ornaments add a bit of color to a garden or yard.

Fairies are popular too.  They can be placed anywhere and range in size from about 8 to 18 inches. Some of them are so detailed that they look like they were hand sculpted by great artists.  Fiona, the Flower Fairy Sculpture is an example of this.

Just think of the stories you could make up for your young children about why the fairy is riding the butterfly.  Maybe she is trying to escape from a wicked gnome, or looking for her fairy sister who is down by the pond.  The beauty of fairies is enhanced when they are made of stained glass.

Gnomes and fairies always add class to a yard or garden and they will do that for yours.
