As
you may have guessed, these were also in Picasa, courtesy of Brian Berke and
waiting for 'Ger'nome' day; no, it won't become a 'thing' here . . . merely
occasional! In-stores now, that side of the pond; I'll be looking out for them
in Poundland, it's the most likely
destination here . . . and I don't doubt Peter E will be on the look-out too!
I
think that Fairy Garden is the
brand-mark, Forest Figurine the
over-brand, but with the Greenbriar/DTSC
partnership of respectively; US/Canadian importers, claiming for them, they are
both probably phantom-brands?
And,
throwing back to my point about the naming of the gnomes in the first post;
these are being called 'Fairy' even though Disney's
Snow White would recognise them as Dwarves, and I think they are classic Gnomes.
Also
there are marked differences in size and painting between the see-saw pair and
the three stepping-stone menders (I assume that's their occupation from the Fairy
Crossing title), but they look like gardeners! So they seem to have
been sourced by the two importers from more than one maker (or - at the very
least - two catalogue lines?).
Many
thanks to Brian.
