Today we salute you, mr. garden gnome maker. Anyone can dress up a yard with a shrub or some gladiolas, but it takes real guts to use a small, brightly colored, ceramic man. And what says, "welcome to our home" like a dwarf in the hedges? Many a night, you've slaved over a hot ceramic man maker, knowing somewhere there was a lonely pink flamingo, or a cement frog, who needed a buddy.
