Cecilia’s elephant collection

 

 

A belated Christmas wish from me and my elephants

 

My Elephants

Two shelves of elephants

 

I’ve added the above picture to show that the individual elephants mentioned below are just the tip of the iceberg! My elephant collection has been built up over about 40 years and now includes a picture embroidered by my mother-in-law and a set of wooden elephant bookmarks just given to me by another member of the family.The elephants are currently overdue for a spring-clean and maybe some rearrangement to display them better – my ambition being to get hold of an old-fashioned display cabinet for them.
