gnomes are still HOT!!!

Gnomes are still Hot! Gnome mythology is centuries old. Garden gnomes have been around for 150 years. Gnomes are known as symbols of good luck. Originally, gnomes were thought to provide protection, especially of buried treasure and minerals in the ground. I think everyone should at least have one Gnome around there home. You can find so many different kinds of Gnomes one ETSY.

Here's a few, Everything from Pin backs

Make some dipped candles. All you need is some beeswax, wicks,scissors, a can to melt the wax in.

Happy Halloween and Samhain!

An Ancient festival known as Samhain which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end. The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". The veal beween worlds is thin, allowing spirits to pass through. One's families ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Hence Halloween as we know it, Parties and trick-o-treating!
