Goblins have many collectors worldwide and of course in the UK. We have such lovely feedback from you and we do love to hear about where the Goblins end up.
If you have any photos of where the goblins live in your home we would love to hear from you, please e-mail them to jessica@goblinsuk.com
Carol’s Goblin Story
Carol has been collecting Goblins for 13 years and recently came up with a lovely new design concept of a Goblin snoozing over a toadstool (see image below), a design that we have started to incorporate into our collection. Here is what Carol wrote when I asked her about her Goblin story.
‘Hi Jessica, I first started to collect Goblins in 1996, where I bought Fiddle D Dee. I suppose because he was my first one he became my favourite and because he was sitting on a piece of driftwood it made him stand out against the others. I love all of them equally, because they are all unique with different characters. There is so much detail on each one and the work that has gone into them is amazing. What a talking point it’s made with my family and friends. I’m a great fan and always will be. I just love the ones sitting on something they look so brilliant, I can’t stop praising Francesca and her wonderful talent, all the very best Carol.’
Thank you Carol for sharing your photo's with us, Goblins x

Gary's Goblin Story
Gary has been collecting Goblins from almost the very beginning, some 17 years and has over 60 Goblins. So when Gary sent us an e-mail recently with a link to all his collection, we were delighted to see some old favourites. You can really see the Goblin story through Gary’s collection and how they have developed over the years, notably got a little plumper I think!
When I asked Gary what it was about Goblins that had made him become a collector and did he have any favourites, he said the following:
’I love collecting Goblins because they are all ‘one offs’, unique and loveable. I like the way Francesca and Dave recycle old wood in some of the designs, making them all the more characterful. I don’t have any favourites, I simply love them all’
The picture is only a snapshot of Gary’s amazing collection. Thank you Gary for sharing you photo's with us, Goblins x

Carol and David's Goblin Story
David and Carol have been collecting Goblins for 12 years and have so far given very good homes to 34 Goblins. When I asked what they loved about Goblins and how do they decide which ones to collect, David wrote the following:
"We love their uniqueness and the fact that they are full of character , every one is different. Our favourites are the witches followed by the musicians and now we are really looking forward to collecting the dancing couples.We love them all at the craft shows that we visit but ....... the wife has the final say on which ones we choose."
