This is sure to be a love like gnome other. In some Scandinavian folklore, gnomes were said to reside near houses, watch over families, and protect against bad luck. Now you can create your own Valentine's Day gnome, perfect for giving to loved ones or to reside over your own fireplace mantel, bookshelves, or home entrance. Join Beaverbrook staff for an easy craft, good conversation, and a cozy atmosphere.
