A Welcome Addition



Remember the elephant tape dispenser my mom found for $2 (and the subsequent Cold War that ensued over who should own him)? Well, just when I was about to throw up the white flag of surrender, guess what arrived in the mail--aren't moms the best?! Though she might not be attending our housewarming this weekend, she was kind enough to send a gift in her absence. Keeping it classy right? Love ya mom! He's now sitting proudly on my desk bringing me good luck with his trunk in the air.

P.S I'm also obsessed with my pagoda letter opener pictured above that I found at an antique store in SC. Can you believe it was only $3? I really do have an addiction to vintage brass items.
