    Yes I have gnomes, yes I have empty bird feeders, yes I have a gazing ball and yes I have wind chimes. BUT I swear that doesn't look like me when I am watering the garden....I can't whistle.

    LOL, gnomes creep me out a little. To each his own I guess.

    I'm all about the wind chimes though. I have this one Japanese-style wooden set that sounds really cool with my bell chimes. It's like I have my own outdoor percussion section.

    Love it ;)

    I have the feeder and the chimes :D Except my feeder is full (well, ok, half-full...) and the chimes are small and made of bamboo, so they make a nice clacking sound instead of chiming

    :D I have gnomes, gazing balls and feeders too! Feeders are full in the winter and taken down for the summer. No wind chimes though, they make me crazy :smt119

    No gnomes in my garden, but a hoast of different sized toadstools. Also windchimes in the trees, but one I bought when my dad died and one when my cousin died.

    Our garden features a cross-toed gargoyle. What does that say about me?
    I also have engraved rocks that say "welcome" and have a sun on them, and a griffin, stone armadillo, and three ceramic turtles. All of this is spread over an acre, so our yard doesn't look like a holding pen for a zoo!

    I had not seen this thread when I started Backyard Ornaments today. I did ask the question 'Are my ornaments Naff?' But gnomes and windchimes, I have a way to go. :):)

    Ohhhhh geez - I'd hate to think what my garden says about me! ;)

    She loves concrete, wind chimes, sun faces and painted lady bug rocks! ;) ;) ;)
