Recuperation journey: Adopted a(nother) gnome

MILFORD - As I was checking out the vendors Sunday along Naugatuck Avenue at the 19th annual Walnut Beach Arts Festival I spied a group of gnomes. 
They were sitting on seashells and pieces of coral and I thought they were adorable. 

I just had to get one to add to my collection. 
He's sitting on a piece of shell. 

Meet Shelly.
