Silly Little Elephants
« on: September 27, 2012, 06:14:04 am »
Another find from the garage!  I am pretty sure that they are not worth much, but wanted to check before I tried to get rid of them.  While they are cute - in a vintage sort of way, I am not an elephant person.

I think they are a cream and sugar set, as one of the elephants has a small opening under his trunk - like a little spout.

I totally agree that it's not about the money.  On the other hand, I can't keep everything.  Our house is already filled with lots of "memories" as our housekeeper puts it  ;)
