Celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody loses an eye.
It stings like the blazes, it makes you make faces, but you can't let your mates see you cry.
A dashing black patch will cover the hatch and make sure your socket stays dry!
Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody loses an eye!


Avast! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Celebrate with a Pirate Gnome of your very own to help you plunder that buried treasure! Check him out in the shop. I can make a Pirate Gnome with a different colored eye and sash if you want one, just contact me!

Trading Gnomes

The wonderful artist and creator of RhagDolls has been a guest vendor at the Maryland Renaissance Festival for the past three years, including this year. She gets to spend a weekend or two selling her wonderful dolls. I have bought one every year. The first year, my doll was dressed in blue, and matched the outfit I wore that day. The second year, my doll was dressed in purple and green, my two favorite colors. This year, I bought a Wizard of Air.

She also made little Gnome dolls. They all had fluffy white beards, red or black pants, red or blue shirts, and a red hat. For my very first trade experience, we traded Gnomes! I made one to match her Gnome colors just for her.



Here they are together before my Gnome was delivered. Aren't they cute little brother Gnomes?!

I adore this doll maker and her beautiful and fun dolls. I'm so happy that my first trading experience was with this fantastic artist. I can't wait to see her back at the festival next year.

This is the pride of my Halloween collection! This Ghostly Gnome glows in the dark. She sparkles with ectoplasm in her clothes and hair. This is a one of a kind Gnome.

I've been working hard getting Gnomes all ready for Halloween. Starting today, I will be listing one Halloween Gnome a day. There are thirteen Gnomes in this collection, each one cute, cuddly, and maybe a little creepy. While all are one of a kind right now, some will never be duplicated.

The first Gnome is the Witch and her Black Cat. She holds a little broom, ready to take to the sky! Check out my shop for more details.
