A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Wild Willy!

My husband just came home with the mail and wanted to know who Wild Willy was!

I ordered the mug, plant stakes, and the little hanging willies and they are SOOOOO cute! Okay - I asked what a Willy was, and now I'm hooked. Somebody here the other day had one holding a little pail - who was that/where? I want that one!

Wild Willy - VERY CUTE!

Now - just have to get rid of this snow we got yesterday!

Where can I find more? Anyone remember who had just shown a gnome with a little bucket/pale he was holding? It was like last week maybe?

Yep I recieved that from Lynne :wink: But target carries them , garden ridge, dollar general, pottery barn, Walmart, and specialty garden shops or go on line.. I've even seen them now in the grocery stores in the flower dept,, They sure are getting around!!

JoAnn's fabric and craft store is another goldmine of gnomes -
I get lots there, and ours had a TON of them yesterday!

I saw some at an Eckerds' we have here,
not sure if it's out your way..
but also my Tops Grocery store..
*I don't think those are there, but maybe*

and in the Dollar General, Family Dollar's, etc.

and in WALLY~WORLD of course too!!!

These Willy's are about 35 years old..

YEp Weezie Eckards, and Walgreens have them!! I forgot about those stores!!

35 years old?? WOW ! But soo cool they are well seasonsed and can teach new willys what needs to be done around your yard!!

Do you have Eckerds' and Walgreens out that way???
Wow, they get around don't they??

Rite Aid I heard bought out Eckerds though..

Eckards are becoming a store of the past I believe CV Drugs has bought them out,, It's just hard for me to remember to call it CV , Eckards has been around soo long! :wink:

We have a CVS Drug store here...
But also still have the other two..

Must be some of the Eckerd's were bought out
by each.. Cause ours is bought by Rite Aid,
and there's already a RA on the other corner..

It's funny too, Rite Aid doesn't carry hardly any
fun stuff for gardening like Eck's did..
I hope they will now start carrying them if they
bought that store out...

I hope she finds lot's of Willys' where we told her
to go..
One can never have one too many Willies...

I just put my order in for my own garden helper mug. Can't wait for that to come. Will be making one great cup of coffee as soon as it arrives.

Yep it will!! I use mine everyday!!

Every morning mine is right beside me here at the PC

i use mine every morning! and its a nice size mug! i love it,

I have this little man he is cute

I think he's so cute...
(looks like a Willy to me..)

i think he looks like a young willy goofing off! they had to be young once upon a time!

BettyBoop - I love that guy with the butterflies and pot on his head! Is there anything written on the bottom of him, who made him or anything, that I could Google to see if I could find one? He's adorable!

Looks like a willy to me that has gotten into some mischieve LOLOLOL
