I love vintage garden gnomes, and have been able to find some fantastic ones over the years. If it is plastic, I don’t want it. They have to be either cement or clay/ceramic for me. Even older ‘Heissner brand’ ones from Germany are still plastic…. I don’t want them (yet).
     The world supply of terrific gnomes is drying up – they are few and far between.  Possibly they are all on the road ? They often appear in Paris, Moscow, or Italy – usually in holiday photos or during a ‘gnomenapping’ incident. Pixies are what is still out there.  The desirable ones are all made in Japan in the 1950′s. My mom had two red ones in with her split-leaf philodendron, potted in what I now know was a valuable McCoy Pottery planter.   Long gone.
      I have a constantly changing  pixie selection for sale at Southlands. They were often sold in sets of three, and I continue to not break up sets if possible.  A set of three sells for about $45.00 , single small pixies are $15.00-$20.00 each.  Considering that they are sixty years old, they look remarkably youthful and their skinny limbs remain intact .  People have cared for them, and it shows.  With the modern age of the internet, I am shipping and acquiring pixies all the time.
