I love elephants....

My friend sent me this wonderful image of a wee baby elephant which he saw on a newspaper website. I thought it was so cute. I couldn't find the link for it. It makes me happy every time I look at it. Hope it makes you smile and brightens up your evening :-)

And this is where my love of elephants started when I was just a baby
I got this wee elephant teddy from my parents and I have it ever since :-) Don't laugh now! Yes I'm sad I even have a photograph of it for you, its all tattered and torn but I have it so long I have become attached to it, it will be 27 this year!
Yes notice the new trunk.
And how worn it is... and totally thread bare!

    Oh yes me too. Ever since I saw Elephant Diary on the BBC, with the orphans in Kenya. Little Jipi was one who didn't make it and it was literally heart-breaking to see the trauma they go through. Love your elephants !

    Have a lovely week

    Elephants, apparently are a symbol of long life.
    It looks as though yours has had a very loved, long life!
    He is still beautiful!

    I love your stuffed elephant. It looks like it has become real, like the Velveteen Rabbit.
    I knitted some little stuffed elephants for two of my boys, as teenagers! One elephant went to college with my oldest and one hung on the zipper of my middle's ski jacket while he was doing 900's 40 feet in the air.
    For some reason they thought that those elephants were cool... Makes me happy!
