Help us pick a couple of new items for our shows/online shop, please?
Paul and I were looking at a few new items today and trying to decide what (if anything) we should get. I liked a few of these items and Paul liked others. So I need friends to give me opinions. If you don't like any of them please just say so. It won't hurt my feelings, honest.

Item #4 - Hair Dressers Mug

I like ....

Item #3 - Guardian Angel Nightlight

2. Thank you!
I like the other items as 'impulse' buys but like the canister and teapot, too. The angel nightlight doesn't do much for me but many of our customers want items like that.

3. The Blue Willow items get my vote
They're pretty timeless. I don't think you'll get stuck with them.

9. You will sell these and NOT GNOMES? WTF is up with that? GNOMES
I tell ya, are BANK.

Do you know how HARD it is to find decent gnomes? they all need homes you know.

This anti-gnome movement HAS to stop. It's just wrong. Cruel. Hateful even.

14. My home is the official southern california refuge of gnomes who are
seeking warmer climes in the USA.

We're always providing shelter to those in need. Many just seem to... stay.

Are you a gnome-aholic?

Are you a gnome away from gnome?
