Collecting: Elephants

Posted in Misc, Things of Beauty by evie s. on April 18th, 2008

I think my love and fascination for elephants started right along with my love and fascination with the country of India. Ever since then, I’ve been collecting them in my travels, and these days, I love snatching up a unique vintage elephant to add to my ever-growing collection. They are by far my favorite animal, and to see them in person is extraordinary.

If you read my last post on Westmoreland glass, you would be interested to know that the elephant bowl in the middle is part of that collection. I saved it for this post since it is so special.
