Thread for the Gnomes! :)

Namaste' Dear Family!
So very many of you communicate or love the fairies and sylphs and angels, so do I; BUT,
Lets hear it for the gnomes this time!!! :)
These earthy beings are closer to us (more often appear as denser substance) than most and it's just amazing how many people have seen them! I live in Oregon USA and have met half a dozen folks who have seen them when walking in the woods, especially the Columbia gorge and the coastal old growth areas.
Gnomes are full of fun and love to appear just like "storybooks" show them. The one I saw even had buckled shoes and a vest(rolling my eyes) and I've heard descriptions of them carrying baskets of unearthy colored mushrooms and wearing vibrant motley. They also love trees and tend to sit at the bases of them. One guy in Alaska saw,very clearly,a 2 foot tall "woodcutter" walk through a clearing with an axe over his tiny shoulder! The Native Americans have tribes of "Stick Indians" that live near the Reservations and a friend of mine saw them beating little drums chasing a pick up truck once! They also support ceremonies and are seen at the Sun Dances. The Irish get to "play" with leprechauns who enjoy the "green" look and being mischievious!
What did YOUR gnome look like?
Lets give these little ones a big burst of love for coming into our realm so often and giving wonder and joy to so many folks!
I'm so looking forward to hearing of some other experiences! Much love to you all! stonekeeper
