Free: A big gnome in need of TLC and appreciative owners (Harley Shute TN38) Gifted We found this gnome in the brambles while clearing out a very overgrown area of our garden. He’s missing an ear and needs some TLC; are you a gnome lover who could give him the retirement he deserves? We’re just not gnome people but appreciate that someone else might just love this and it would make us so happy to add to someone’s collection.
