Meet Tervu, the Welcome Gnome
In the quiet corners of Finnish folklore, there are stories of tiny guardians — gnomes who watch over hearth and home, bringing luck to those who treat them kindly. Tervu is one of these gentle spirits: a welcome gnome who lives at the threshold between the wild forest and the warmth of your home.
Tervu’s name comes from the Finnish word for “welcome,” and true to his calling, he delights in greeting new friends. He’s a bit shy at first, but if you listen closely, you may catch the soft rustle of his cap or the faintest giggle as he tucks himself behind a pinecone or peeks out from a mossy stone.
As the official guardian of new beginnings in our little circle, Tervu’s job is to bring warmth, luck, and a sprinkle of forest magic to everyone who enters. He believes that every new arrival is a cause for quiet celebration — a chance to light a lantern, brew a cup of tea, and share a story or two by the fire.
When you receive your printable Tervu card, you’re not just getting a piece of art — you’re being welcomed into a community of kindred spirits who cherish the same wonder, stillness, and mythic connection that inspire my work. Place Tervu somewhere special: on your desk, by your favorite reading nook, or tucked into a notebook. Let him be a gentle reminder that you’re always welcome here, just as you are.
Who knows — perhaps, with Tervu nearby, you’ll start to notice a little more magic in your everyday moments, too.
Sign up and Tervu will arrive in your email — ready to bring a sprinkle of magic to your day!
