Wowza! Great variation on this, and I love the swirls on the walls, thats a really nice effect. Cute cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! What a great way to gift a "garden in a box"! My son just bought and moved into his first home and wants to have a garden. I think I am going to have to craft lift this idea and make him one filled with all the seeds he will need and some tips on gardening! Thanks for the inspiration! I know his boys will love the Gnome Home too!
