Gnome-Centric Releases from Dollar Tree

It took over a month since the first reports on social media, but the 2024 gnome/fairy houses that Dollar Tree has are finally in stock in the some of the stores in my area. 


I already have a number of containers full of the previous gnome houses, and these look a little taller, but they are made out of a flimsier material.  The mushroom house on the far right didn't come like that.  That landed on a sweatshirt on my floor and shattered!   The big pieces got reglued, but the rest of it was vaporized.  Time to decorate it as a damaged building for one of the Gnome Wars games for Historicon. 

The mushrooms will need to be filed down or mounted with style to stay upright.  Tempted to grab a few more to set up a large mushroom/toadstool farm. 

And if the gaps in the Valentine's Day candy on the shelves are evident, then the Easter stuff is out.  This year there are two sizes of oddly colored "Easter Trees"  $1.25 for a big tree is a bargain in a world where fantasy minis are $6.99 and Battletech figs are $30 for four useless model 'mechs, but that's just me.
