Welcome to
Gnomes by Anita
A small company making unique handmade gnomes for all occasions.
There are neutral colored house gnomes, traditional Swedish gnomes, as well as gnomes for all holidays. They are all made with natural sheepskin, handknitted hats, and wood accents. Not using templates makes every gnome unique and one of a kind.
All gnomes are designed and made by the Swedish born owner.
The gnomes are sold online, at local markets in TX, and wholesale.
Contact us if you have a special request.
Anita makes Gnomes to your specification if she has the materials.

GnomesbyAnita History
Gnomes by Anita started selling Gnomes to a group of close friends some time around 2010.
Things that definitely happened
2012
Early Christmas Market at Swedish Lucia celebration
There were photo prints and various Christmas decorations offered in the beginning. The Gnomes stole the show though.
2014
This year the Gnomes could be found at a large number of Markets in the North Dallas area.
There were a lot more Gnomes made this year compared to earlier years. There were also new varieties.
2016
The year the Gnomes went outdoors.
At McKinney Third Monday Trade Days. A great place to visit but cold and windy to work...
2017
Next year we found that indoor Markets are much warmer.
However, we still hung in at McKinney Trade Days for another year.
2018
This year was exclusively focused on indoor Markets.
Here at JJ Pearce in Richardson TX. Another first was Waxahachie Junior Service League.
2019
This was the biggest year yet for the Gnomes.
Anita had been producing Gnomes since the last market previous year. This year saw the Gnomes at markets in and around Plano, Richardson as well as Waxahachie again.
2020
2020, a new reality for the Gnomes.
The Gnomes were at very few Christmas markets. The Etsy shop opened so the Gnomes could find their forever homes.
Anita opened the Market at Home to meet customers in a safe way. The Market at Home is open year around. Make an appointment below.
2021
This year markets returned in person
The gnomes are back home again after a fantastic outing to 2021's Christmas Markets. Anita and the gnomes thought it was great to see y'all in person again. You are such a wonderful group of gnome loving people.
2023
Many of the "old" markets were revisited
First a big Thank You to all of you who came out and visited the Gnomes this year. We appreciate you. The Gnomes came to all the usual markets from previous years, except for the Pacesetters Bazaar. We do not know why, but the Gnomes were rejected by Pacesetters this year. New for this year was the Home for the Holiday's Market in Historic Downtown McKinney.
