My Pet Gnome
This week on Design*Sponge Grace invited all the editors to share their pets with the idea pets make a home, and many of us work from home. While I don’t have your typical furry pal, I realized my gnome has been accompanying me on my adventures for the past 7 years. It started as a joke when my aunt and cousin visited me when I lived in Paris before, but he’s stuck with me as I work to channel my inner Amèlie and live la vie parisienne. So when the lovely Meg and I met up for tea on my birthday a last week, she made my day when she was willing to put up with my quirky ways and help me document my life with my pet gnome. We definitely got a few funny looks but it was so worth it and made my day, so I thought it’d be fun to share a few more pictures from our shoot. . . Bon week-end!

He looks very well trained and quiet, unlike my cat… cute dress, too, by the way.

He’s not roamed with me though. He likes to roam alone. Nights, or maybe while I’m at work. Otherwise, he enjoys keeping me company while I toil in the home office. Keeps reminding me to “Think!”

He looks like a great friend! Always smiling to cheer you up or laugh at your jokes, and even laugh at you when you accidentally drop your jar of bonne maman fruits rouges jam on your new area rug. How could you have a bad day when he is around?
Who needs a pet when you have a little man like that? :)
