Hi Pandora
It looks like you have a few gnomes there. I know what it feels like then they finally show up. Some times I wait and wait and wait and nothing happens.
It is not always easy to get things to happen that might make a gnome appear and then the chances of having them actually appear when that event happens is so small. That is why when I get a game that has gnomes popping up everywhere I find it such a big deal.
The gnomes I had in this game were all from 2009 when I first started playing and I got them from the mail when I sent metals off to have them smelted or gems to be cut.
I think the game has changed since then and I don't send things off for smelting or gem cutting so often.
Is that a laundry gnome I see sitting on your bridge? Some times he just appears unexpectedly, but lately I find he just doesn't want to make an appearance. I did get one recently in another game and I was so surprised to see him.
Thank you for posting. I'll be putting more pictures of my gnomes up over the weekend - that's a positive thought as I have to get more to appear in the game before I can put their pictures up.
