A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes collection. This one is "Taylor". This peddler is well-prepared to do some "tailoring" with his large assortment of buttons and thread. I was reminded of stories of peddlers in the land of my fathers, Scotland, and how they carried countless items with them. Taylor is prepared in case the customer wants pots and pans, a pair of shoes or even a computer chip! If he meets a Gnome who has torn the seat of his trousers on the bottom rung of a barbed wire fence, he can mend it right on the spot and entertain him with some jokes while doing it. You see(as the coin indicates), he is a "tra- veling salesman". The number for this piece is "3", dated 1985. It is in excellent, like-new condition. He measures 7-1/2" tall, 6-1/2" in diameter.

A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes collection. This one is "Thimblena". Thimblena is very handy with a needle and thread. She found a size 14 thimble in the woods, and decided it made a perfect hat for her. She's sitting on a spool of thread, for there's always one more thing to mend. Her circus coin says "Shows" because she sews where it shows! Thimblena and her husband Darn are so tiny, that when they go for a walk they first tie the end of a thread to a twig near their front door. This helps them find their way back home. Thimblena loves to look over the new cloth and buttons that Taylor sells. She knows that people who sew will never be threadbare. The number for this piece is "67", dated 1988. She measures 3-1/4" tall and 2" in diameter. It is in excellent, like-new condition. A Certificate of Authenticity from Cairn Studio, Ltd. is included.
