These ornaments can be used indoors as well as outdoors. They say that gargoyles and griffins are actually loving, loyal and kind to their owners and fiercely protective of their territory.

This could be why one of my gnomes took a holiday and hasn't come back yet. I'll have to ask my wife again if she had heard from him.

Solar garden statues are very cool and quite unique. You can use them to illuminate your flower beds, walkways, patio corners or just anywhere else in your backyard! These outdoor statues absorb sunlight during the day and glow at night!

Because they are solar they have no electrical plugs or cords which means you can place them anywhere that gets a few hours of direct sunlight.

Cute doesn't even begin to describe these garden ornaments.

Made of brass, this type of statuary weathers very well and will last for years to come.

You can choose from a wide selection of, fish, Chinese man statue, st francis statue, bunnies and fairies.

One of the cutest garden decorations is the small gnome statue that is hanging on a tree. A wonderfully colored statue that will be sure to bring smile to all your visitors. This type of garden statue works well in the front entranceway gardens.

Most garden gnomes are made of plastic or resin. There are heavy concrete statues available but these are also higher priced.

These two guys that are fishing I placed beside my fish pond.  Luckily they don't catch anything. Interestingly enough our cat doesn't like them, so he leaves our fish alone.

What to do when your neighbor says you have too many gnomes in your garden

Because buying these little statutes can become an addictive habit you may find yourself with a few too many.

If you need to sell one or two of your gnomes at a garage sale because your collection is getting too big try this trick.

The fastest way to have someone notice your statue is place a small sign around his neck that says garden gnome for sale and place it high in a predominant spot by the road. It will be gone in no time. Another statue that is fun is the fairy garden statue.
