Featured Seller: PhenomeGNOME

Now that I have been the whole home buying process for the last couple months I am starting to notice little things I want for my home. I came across Etsy Seller PhenomeGNOME and the stuff listed in there shop is too darn cute to pass up!

I love love love these two baby mermaid statues.


This castle is too sweet for words! I would love to have a little garden to tuck this among the green and flowers.
Not only are they too darn cute for words, but the way PhenomeGNOME takes photos with each piece set in a garden helps you imagine what your piece would be like in your front yard. It gives a magical feel to each piece.

PhenomeGNOME has a wide variety of fairies, funny gnomes and pet memorials. You won’t resist anyone of PhenomeGNOME’s piece for your spring time garden. I can’t wait to purchase the two baby mermaid statues as soon as my home closes escrow. I just wish I could have the same garden as featured in the pictures. So beautiful! Green doesn’t grow very well here in Phoenix and mermaids don't belong among cactus.

This Snow White Inspired child's apron has to be hands down the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. It makes me want to have a little girl just so I could dress her up in it!
