To The Victor Goes the Spoils

This elephant tape dispenser from Iomoi has been a permanent fixture on my 'want list' for quite some time. I think I might actually enjoy wrapping presents if I it meant I got to use my super stylish tape dispenser!

Knowing the extent of my obsession, you can imagine the jealousy that was incited when my mom texted me this photo:

A vintage brass elephant tape dispenser found at a local thrift store. The coup de grace--she paid $2.00 for it!! I've tried to convince her that I cannot live without said tape dispenser proudly displayed on my desk. Understandably, she's equally smitten with him. Perhaps I can convince her that he would make the perfect housewarming gift for our new condo?
Fingers crossed!

  1. wow what a steal! I love cute gold accents.
    Oh and I just convinced my Mom to gift me a vintage Eames Lounge knock-off she had found. She wasn't too keen on the idea at first until i promised her it didn't go with her stuff and I would help her redecorate a few spaces!
