"The Tomten" Christmas Tile

Tomten (singular, "tomte") are Scandinavian homestead gnomes. Some live in the barn or stable, others make their home in the farmer's house, in an attic or closet, under the floorboards, even in a very large grandfather clock. They are seldom seen, but you will know they are there by the help they give, assisting with chores, protecting livestock, and doing all that they can to ensure that the homestead runs smoothly and prospers. -- Ceramic tiles can be framed and hung as artwork, included in construction of tiled walls and countertops, or simply slipped under a hot dish as a coaster to protect the finish of your dining table.
