I have an unmarked PRESENT!!! USPS just dropped it off and I ripped into it like a meth head into a candy bar. OMG so cute gnome planter. Vintage wall planter/vase, possibly. My guess is from the 40s or 50s. Green and adorable and going right into my kitchen window to be planted with a succulant. THANK YOU mysterious gifter. I assume from here. I will now begin my sleuthing and I will have you found out by end of day. LOVE IT!
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

OK, LAists! and I have a few address, so I am narrowing it down.
Um, btw, I was checking out the gnome some more and it is stamped and a cursory googling tells me that this may be the work of a former Disney illustrator who also did some pottery for one of the well known California Pottery houses. Um? AWESOME!

Hah! I love the Santa hunt. I think I figured it out one year by google mapping the UPS drop-off location and going from there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Is it obnoxious of me to try and swipe a good number?

Obnoxious? It's practically required.
