Five years ago, I embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Norway, bringing along a special companion – the very first felted gnome I ever created. This little gnome joined me on a journey through breathtaking landscapes, towering mountains, and serene hikes, capturing the spirit of our travels.

My first handmade gnome |
The Norwegian landscape, with its majestic mountains and tranquil natural beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for my gnome's debut. From rocky terrains to misty cliffs, each location added a unique charm to our journey. We hiked countless trails, each one offering a new perspective and a fresh sense of wonder.

Gnome's adventures in Scandinavia |
Before this adventure, I crafted a pair of handfelted shoes specifically for the trip. These shoes proved to be incredibly comfortable for the short trails we explored and were perfect for resting in the evenings. They became an essential part of this journey, providing both comfort and a personal touch to my travel gear.

In love with hiking |
This trip holds a special place in my heart, not only for the stunning nature we experienced but also because it marked our 20th wedding anniversary.
Our gnome became a symbol of our journey, a tiny guardian accompanying us through every step. It was a trip filled with wonderful memories, breathtaking views, and moments of pure bliss.

Us in Norway, our 20th anniversary - embracing the joy and love we’ve shared over the years |
Now, as we prepare to return to Scandinavia to celebrate our 25th anniversary, I'm inspired to create a new gnome – a tiny, pocket-sized companion to join us on our new adventures. Just like our love and travels, these little creations evolve and grow, adding more magic to the journey.
Creating this new gnome feels like a fresh chapter in our ongoing story, a story that began 25 years ago and continues to unfold with each adventure we take. The anticipation of new experiences and the joy of revisiting cherished places fill our hearts with excitement.
Would you like to see where our next adventure takes us?
Looking forward to sharing more moments from our Scandinavian escapades.
