Monday Morning Mirth

In what appears to be the continuance of their whimsical ad campaigns, the Burberry Store on Michigan Ave. is showing a huge collection of foot high figurines mixed with fashion.

Yes, my friends, mixed in with the skinny mannies, are these precious little men.

did you know, "most Gnomes are 7 times
stronger than a man & can run
at speeds of 35 miles per hour"?
Hey, that's faster than the #66!

Burberry is celebrating the 100th Anniversary in Britain of the GARDEN GNOME!

...a little gnome with cool bucket!

And that's Good Gnews! Little people and animals have decorated the gardens of millions of happy people since time began!

How do I know they're happy? You just can't garden and be sad!

...hey, scary gnome, quit lookin' at me
I'll get back to work when I feel like it!
