Curious Facts About Gnomes and Lanterns
Gnomes come from European folklore and are often portrayed as small guardians of homes, gardens, or hidden treasure. Before electric lights became common, enclosed lanterns helped protect a candle flame from wind while allowing its glow to shine through transparent panels. Autumn leaves change color when green chlorophyll breaks down and reveals other pigments.
