Gnomes, Magic, and Whimsy: My Honest Answers About Gnome Beliefs

Published on 20 March 2025 at 23:06

Hey, y'all, thanks for joining today! I just love to see all your 'smiling' names as having read my blog. Can I really see your names, you ask? And your smiling faces? Noooooo, not actually. I can just see the numbers as far as where you're from, what pages you look at, what kind of device you're using, and how you got to my blog (google vs direct link vs FB/IG/Threads etc). Wouldn't it be creepy if I could see you and your names?! That sounds like a stalkers wildest dreams come true. 

 

So today's blog post is another VLOG. Just in case you're not a video person, or are somewhere that you can't turn on the sound, I also wrote out the vlog interview below--I answer questions from readers around the world. Some of you might have questions in this pile I used for the interview! 

 

Have fun reading/wathcing!

Mama's Gnome Shop: Gnome Fashion Fanatic Answers YOUR Questions

Do you actually believe in gnomes?

With all my heart--they're my favorite backyard neighbors!

Do you think you see the gnomes move ever?

Well, not actually, like with my eyes--but if I leave out pizza, beer, or cheese, that gets them to move, clearly. I can tell because they eat it all!

Do your kids believe in gnomes?

My youngest totally does. He helps me take pictures of them when I find them in their situations in the mornings.

How about the Easter Bunny--Do your kids think he's real too?

Well, the Easter Bunny is a SHE, so there's that. But...no, they don't, they never have. They are kindof ridiculous in that they think it's just a man in a suit. 

At what age did you start believing in magical creatures--or did you never stop?

I never stopped--why would I? Gnomes revived my childhood wonder--best adulting decision ever to be a believer!

Do gnomes invite you to things like parties or do you just randomly crash them?

Formal invitations only. Gnorman (he's my main gnome, the big one) sends them in acorn mail--it's so fancy! I don't know how acorn mail works though. Somebody drops it at my door, and there's no postage on it.

Have you ever tried to take a selfie with a gnome--how did that go?

I have one decent selfie with Gnorman, but they never move or act alive when I try to catch them for a good selfie. They act like they're not alive or something. It makes me look like I'm making all this stuff up!

Is your husband worried about your gnome obsession--or just amused?

Mostly just amused, until I try to send the gnomes outside to play. He doesn't mind them in the house too much, but doesn't want the neighbors to see.

Do you think people think you're 'not right' because of your gnome love?

Probably, but my great grandma did magic so I come by it honestly. Also, I don't care what people think. Life is short. I plan to enjoy it.

Will you be disappointed if you ever wake up and realize that gnomes aren't real?

I don't know what you're asking. Are you trying to imply that I'm lying? That gnomes aren't real? You're ridiculous and mean. You should be ashamed. [I'm sorry, everyone, that wasn't directed at you. Just the one rude guy with the question about gnomes not being real. As if.]

So, I hope you had fun watching the interview. I had a good time, at least. Although I didn't appreciate that one guy--the one with the negativity. I mean, can you believe that he implied gnomes aren't real?! WTH. I can't even with people like that. Misery loves company. Not my company, mmm mmm.

 

Y'all have a great rest of your day, okay? Please do me a favor and submit your ideas for what kind of blog ideas you would be interested in reading about or watching a video. it can be a general category or a specific idea. what's the worst that could happen--i don't pick your idea?! Don't worry about that--just submit! Thanks, friends, in advance! Until next time...

 

Mama Gnome, A.K.A. Eliza
