Ruby Tuesday:Valentine Gnomes

It's Ruby Tuesday time again! Mary suggested last week we could begin posting red hearts for Valentine's Day. This gives me a good chance to post more of my gnome figurines I mentioned during macro week.
Why so many Valentine gnomes? You see I was my Mom and Dad's Valentine gift many years ago. When I started collecting the gnomes it was a natural idea for my children to give me a new gnome every year for my birthday. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Meet Barney, Hart, and Val
Looks like love makes Spock's hat fall off!! :)
Look closely. Can you guess what's up with these two?
Ah, isn't that sweet!

For more Ruby Tuesday please join Mary by clicking on the badge at the top of my post!

Lovely figurines for Valentine's Day!

These gnomes have a look to make one smile, even if they aren't presenting ruby hearts to you. But the gnomes that are givers of hearts look just a bit more winsome. I like your guys!

And Happy Early Birthday.
(just in case I forget later)

They are darling! I do love gnomes -- I don't WANT them ... but I love to SEE them! I'm finding that to be true of sO many things in my beyond 50 life!

My favourite is Val (as I think the top one to the right is called?), he has such a sweet expression. They all look very pleased with their home at your place:)

I've tried yesterday to post my comment, and I realize I failed.
I found them so funny, specially the two last.
But I was wondering, yesterday, if they were decoration for inside ?
They look so pretty. Hope you didn't let them outside. They would disappear without trace !
Happy Ruby Tuesday, Carletta.
