Fave Find: Baby Elephants (not real ones)
Ever since I saw this video, I’ve loved finding baby elephant figurines. Elephants are smart, compassionate creatures. And obviously they like having fun. Sounds like me!
Now, I don’t go crazy with these. I like ones from the ‘50s and '60s that look sort of like cute-ified real animals–not gross Pier One elephants. I only buy the extra cute ones.
Except for the one time I bought this guy…
and Adam asked me, “Why did you buy a statue of a weird, high elephant?!”
Anyway, this one is my all-time fave. He looks just like the baby in the video!
This little guy was in a set with two adults. First, I only want babies. No adults. Second, the set was overpriced. Third, the sale was junky so I just grabbed him and pretended I found him somewhere alone, since the majority of stuff in the house wasn’t priced. No harm, no foul. And I got my baby.
Finally, this guy was an exception to the no-gold-policy for decorative items (created and enforced by Adam). I made the exception because he’s so cute and happy. So far, Adam hasn’t objected.
