Adorable and unique handmade gnomes available only in our group: GNOMES AMONG US Hello & welcome to LFG! No two are the same. We also accept Apple Pay.
Just like the BFG, our little gnomes are friendly and they need a good home. They have plenty of good cheer and good luck to offer!
**Each little guy, or gal, has been hand crafted and named. So every one added to a new family is indeed an individual. Please share your LFG with us in our group, “Gnomes Among Us” with a photo. It’s so fun to see the forever home of the little creations.
***This
business was created with the intent to spread more smiles among the community. So please keep it kind and friendly on our page, and in our community group.
****Sometimes there will be sales, giveaways, and treasure hunts around town, so be sure to keep your notifications turned on***
��HOW DO I ADOPT ONE???��
You’ll want to watch for gnome drops in our privet group, Gnomes Among Us:
You’ll want to set the notifications settings to get alerts when LFG posts. All gnome listings, will have individual photos of new gnomes with the price and name listed. The first person to comment “SOLD” on each photo holds the claim to that LFG. If you change your mind, or do not pay by pick up, it will be offered to the next person in line that commented on the photo. So make sure to comment on your choice, even if it’s already marked.
�WHAT IS A LIVE TREASURE HUNT?�
Once per month we will hide LFGs somewhere in the Treasure Valley area with a photo and clues leading to them. We believe whole heartedly in families having an opportunity to do something fun outside. As such, any hiding locations will be safe for all ages to locate.
****HOW DO I PICK UP LOCALLY?****
The easiest is porch pick up. Once you’ve made your purchase, we can arrange a time and I’ll give you the address in Caldwell.
****WHAT IF I CAN’T PICK UP?****
If you need shipping, we are happy to do that as well, within the US. Shipping is done with USPS or UPS for $10/ package and you’ll get your own tracking number. I can often fit two in a box at once. There may be exceptions for some of the taller gnomes, with stand up hats. If you purchase a gnome now, and wish to buy another within 30 days, I am happy to hold onto the first one and send them together. This will save you even more $$$ on shipping. Shipping outside the US is also possible but is priced on a case basis and usually takes longer than the post office suggests.
���ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL REQUESTS?���
Yes! If you have any requests for a custom LFG, please inquiry. We will do our best to fulfill the vision you have. Options can vary from a theme, color, sports team, career, and so on... Custom creations will be an additional charge, to be determined during the request conversation. Please keep in mind, customs take a great deal of time and creativity so there is a waiting time of 4-10 weeks. Half of the cost is expected up front for us to begin working on it. The remainder is required prior to shipping. And you will get a final photo for approval before shipping.
��GIFTS?��
If you need to have your special little gnome sent to someone as a gift, please let us know. We would love to add a personalized note from you inside and/or wrap it. Our goal is for the new member of the family to make everyone smile and for all parties involved to have an enjoyable experience. We have customers purchase listed gnomes, and order customs, to have sent as “Fairy” gifts regularly.
****HOW DO I PAY?****
The best way is to do FB pay once you have claimed your LFG as this will give you a digital receipt. Once you have decided to adopt a gnome, you’ll be messaged by our personal FB account, under Candice Oven. From there I can send you the link to pay. Cash is also accepted at the time of pick up, but it is at our discretion to accept or decline cash at any time, from anyone. If the pick up day comes, and goes, and we have not heard from you, your LFG will be re-listed for adoption. Please keep in mind, we are a small family business making these gnomes to spread cheer, not a large cooperation. Signing up for multiple payment systems and accepting cards directly would only cause the cost to increase and we would like to keep these little gnomies at a reasonable amount for everyone. Thank you in advance. PayPal made be made available, only at our discretion, and with a 5% increase to cover the app fees. OTHER DETAILS:
-They have some weight to them, approximately 1-3 lbs, for the large ones and are stable once set in their place.
-There are three layers around the base/body of the gnome 1) to hold everything together, 2) is a wrap to help hold their shape so they do not become short and plump over time and 3) is an outer layer that’s more visually pleasing as well as soft and fuzzy to the touch.
-Each one is equipped with moisture prevention for humid climates.
-Size ranges depending on the style, approximately 6-16” tall.
-A lot of our supplies are purchased from small businesses, Etsy shops and/or charitable places.
-Price ranges from $20-55 each gnome. Occasionally there will be special, limited editions, mini gnomes, magnets, displays, ornaments, craft kits and so on. Any of those prices will be as listed at that time.
***Sometimes there will be sales, drawings, Name That Gnome contests, giveaways, treasure hunts around town, as well a hidden ornaments randomly hidden around town. So be sure to keep your notifications turned on for the page Little Frinedly Gnomes and for the private group Gnomes Among Us***

🌷🌼GNOME HUNT IS LIVE🌼🌷
🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷
Where blossoms wake and robins sing,
Begins your quest this day of spring.
These nineteen acres are wide and free
So come and walk the path with me
“If you build it, they will come”
Two of these is the sum
While sandy fields and bases gleam,
On the playground, little smiles beam
Thick coats of brown once brushed the trees,
With heavy steps and lazy ease.
A love for honey, sweet and gold,
Once lured the wanderers of old.
This place took a change in 2002
To what is a lovely park of new
Be not alarmed by the wild things name
This place is plenty safe for today’s game
🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼
Good lock to everyone and happy hunting!

***********GNOME HUNT IS ON!*********
🎄🎁 🎄🎁 🎄🎁 🎄🎁 🎄🎁 🎄🎁 🎄🎁
‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the town
It was a magical place, and many are stirring around.
Such a winter wonderland, this place is no bologna!
The parents are even lined up to watch the zamboni,
For tonights’ activity does not require any sleds.
And children are all awake, definitely not in their beds.
So many things here to enjoy, we’re sure you’d agree
It’s a perfect spot for families in need of some glee
The air is crisp and perfect for a mug of hot cocoa
Remember your camera, it’s a great spot for a holiday photo
We carried on over the river and through the woods
Looking at twinkly lights and sipping our new goods
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
Santa in a sail boat without any reindeer
We strolled further down the path with our legs a blunder
People were huddled and gathered, staring with wonder
When out on the creek arose such a clatter
I shrieked in my boots when I saw what was the matter
Suddenly a dragon burst out with a fiery flash
It frightened us all and we made a quick dash
Too scared to come back, the gnomes all found cover
Now it’s up to you to trace their path over
For they will all need forever homes tonight.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

All the gnomes have new homes
🍁🎃🍁GNOME HUNT IS LIVE🍁🎃🍁
🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃
Welcome back and happy fall ya’ll
Todays’ hunt location is rather small
11 tiny acres donated in 1932
And from the top, an exceptional view!
Among the urban, tucked in the North End
Along the foothills, it’s the perfect blend
From volley to tennis to the gym outside
Kids and can swing and see the countryside
Wether you’ve come for hunt or the hike
This place is great for adult and child alike
Don’t be fooled by what the name implies
Gnomes, not animals will be the prize
🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁
Good luck to all!

🙏🏼Thank you to everyone that came out to the hunt today and got to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!

🍄See everyone next month! 👋🏻

🎣🍄🎣GNOME HUNT IS LIVE🎣🍄🎣
Todays hunt is not on or near a lake
But it still has water to partake
On the East, to hatch or not to hatch
But cross the street today to catch
What a great day to bring a pole
But with motors you cannot troll
In the waters your line will search
To find those of bass and perch
There’s so much to do don’t rush
Gnome await being found in the brush
Take a stroll and enjoy the adventure
Even seeing the Trophy in the center
🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄🎣🍄
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

🙏🏼Thank you to everyone that came out to today’s hunt and shared your smile! It was a success and we had beautiful spring weather.
🗺️ The location was at Marsing Island Park where they often stock with rainbow trout this time of year. 😉
And a HUGE thanks to two of our families that donated the ornaments, and extra funds to purchase the oysters fulls of beautiful pearls. And of coarse Tabitha's TeaTime Design for all the help with hiding and keeping me organized! We are very blessed to have such an awesome community and I’m proud to be part of it. 🥰

West is where you’ll want to go
Out where the waters flow
Where the 55 takes a bend
And the Rainbows begin
Going all the way back to 1888
This place was like a gate
Here is where you would park
And ferry across to your mark

Time to put on your thinking cap
It’s like looking for a pin on a map
Just a mere 11 acres to be exact
The greenery is established and compact
Tucked in a neighborhood in Boise
Perfect if you’re looking for less noisy
I assure you these hints are most credible
But not advised to how you slice a vegetable
Follow these clues devised in the last hour
I have confidence in your ability to scour
Be sure to read the lines and then recap
Finding the prizes should be a snap
🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Good luck everyone!

🔎Today’s treasure hunt was at Stephen C Guerber Park in Eagle. I must say, we could not of had nicer weather than today! Sunny and 55 degress out made for a lot of exciting play time on the playground. The playground without swings! 🤣
🦅This particular location was named after a former mayor of Eagle and prior to that was rock quarry in the 1900s.
🌅The Sunrise and Sunset pavilions are available to reserve for events with their own special architectural story. Utilizing aspects such as rough-sawn timber, quarried rock and galvanized (tin-type) roofing, the buildings portray a regional style of architecture common in the early 1900s.

Follow the feathers North toward old bedrock
Then solve these clues that begin at 10 o’clock
What once was a work place for Fred Flinstone
Has now become 15 acres of a big play zone
Providing almost all the usual family things
Ball fields, trail, horseshoes, but no swings
It’s a place to see Sunrise and Sunset
And in the summer you’re sure to get wet
While we’re waiting for the seasons’ blooms
I’ve provided you with some shrooms
So be sure to search well with your eyes
And then come to claim your prize
