A Gnome by Any Other Name
Aren't these gnomes just the cutest thing? Although they don't bear a strong resemblance to Will and Kate, they are certainly a souvenir worth pursuing. Who wouldn't want these wonderful woodland creatures protecting your garden?
These garden gnomes were created especially for the Royal Wedding by B&Q for the festivities. My guess is that they are B&Q is similar to a Lowes or Home Depot store. Since their website currently lists these gnomes as being out of stock I guess I won't have to worry about spending one of my London afternoons hunting them down. But, if B&Q wants me to promote them on this side of the pond, they can always deliver them to me. I just hope the bride's flowers won't fade in our southern sun.
A recent check of Amazon.com list over 4500 royal wedding souvenirs - but no gnomes! Oh well looks like those tea towels and royal condoms are still at the tops of the list.
Pip, pip and all that.
