Gnome/Authentic Tomte Nisse
Gnome/Authentic Tomte Nisse
Handmade by Tami Selph of BluBird Studio in East Aurora, NY //https://www.oneblubirdstudio.com/
These gnomes are authentic Tomte Nisse, which are a Swedish Yule Tradition. They date wayyyyy back and they are household guardians, the same way sprites would be stable guardians. They're meant to ward off darkness during the Solstice/Yule season, which was traditionally celebrated as a festival of light returning/Sun, longest night, etc.
These gnomes are made of 100% wool, needle felted with not a single stitch - all needle felt, with a core made of an herbal blend meant to ward off badness and wool moths - that’s why they smell so good!
It's my own mix, and it's a proprietary family recipe. Cedar based, lavender, calamus, mugwort, Patchouli, lots of good stuff. 100% natural.
