Collection: HandFelted Gnomes

Between the house and the Nearby Forest lies the Enchanted Garden.  No one knows who first created this beautiful little garden lined with big, smooth stones, but each family to occupy this land has tended to it as far back as anyone can remember.  Near the garden stands a big, old maple tree with a fairly extensive root system that is visible above ground.  This is where little Forest Folk, known widely as Gnomes, enter their vast underground tunnel system.  Using this system, they come and go between the Forest and the Garden, tending to both, as well as to all living things that dwell there.   

Gnomes are protectors.  Gnomes are kind.  They are very loving and loyal to those humans that they feel they can trust.  It is said that a home that welcomes a gnome will always be cozy and peaceful, filled with much laughter, lined with green gardens, and a curious propensity toward good luck.

Each Gnome is needle-felted by hand with merino wool. which is an eco-friendly material.  They stand approximately 4.5 inches from the tip of their cap to the tips of their toes.  Each is secured to a wood slice so that they can stand on any flat surface and each arrives with their own Collector's bookmark telling their unique name and story.  PLEASE NOTE: cats and dogs (and other fur babies) are attracted to the natural oils they can smell that remain on the wool, and if given the chance, any healthy pet will want to chew up or shred your MJ and Me collectibles. So, keep these items out of pets’ reach!

Each product made by MJ & Me is made by hand with lots of love and just a little bit of magic.  We love to tell stories with our creations and hope that they spark the imagination of your inner child, no matter what age you may be!
