I think Snowdog started this going, a gnome door showed up in my back yard.

It looks to be made of red cedar with a spar varnish coating.

My granddaughter told me she likes the “Norm”, so that is his name now.
We think he needs a plaid shirt and a little tool belt.

My wife (who does NOT like gnomes) says if any more of these things show up in HER yard, we will have to set traps!!

If your wife sets traps we will call the ASPCG&F (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Gnomes and Fairies)! that is cruel and inhumane!

Tell your wife if she sets traps she may just catch some, lots of them. I mean more than she has ever seen. Fun project. Thanks for sharing.

Fairy doors and now Gnomes! it’s becoming an epidemic!

This one reminds me of a tree near my grandparents house. quite a few decades ago it was hit by a car, the bark healed and the tree still lives. but there is a bare spot on the bark about the size of what I’ll now call a Gnome Door. Perfect shape too – like right out of The Hobbit. The owners put a knob and hinges on it, and hang a wreath at Christmas time. I’ll try to remember to snap a picture this year it the weather permits.
