Description

This happy little Gnome goes from yard to yard in search of magical moments. It looks like he found a sleeping fairy in this one!

OMG! Are all those starlights natural or did you make them, SSSLala?
They fit in the leaves perfectly and naturally but at the same time they lit up like stars.
Tell me - tell me :)
And it's such a pretty image all together. #1688028

SSSKiki, do you see the fairy there? This happens to every plant no matter where she lands to rest. It lights up with twinkles as they sleep. I'm pretty sure that's how the gnome was able to find her there. :) Now, a secret that not many people know is the lantern. Why would he be holding it up when it's not dark out??? I will tell you but it's a secret. He is holding it up to the starlights to charge his battery in his lantern. A very little known trick of the gnomes! But Shhhhhhh!!! We aren't supposed to know and they also might hear us. It's bad luck to wake a fairy while there's a battery being charged!! :))))
Thank you for asking. Because you asked I was able to tell you!
SSSLala :)

P.S. FYI - Water drops do lay there in those spots, too, after a gentle rain. #11604492
