Upon the arrival of THE ELEPHANT, I realized I have a thing for elephants. And horses. And koala bears. And dolphins. Suffice to say there is a proper top forty of my favorite animals recorded in someone's gadgets. So when elephants presented themselves to me in other forms, I grabbed them. This one is a pot (hard to see it work that way, though) found on eBay. To its right, two iron candle holders I had in my Bucharest flat and was ready to let go to greener pastures, but Chris loved them and carefully packed them up. To the left of the elephant, some odd pumpkins picked up at the farmers' market in Surrey. And to their left, another eBay find: a Villeroy & Boch vase in venge glass, to make up for the loss of my beloved purple vase. Chris got the yellow chrysanthemums last Sunday and, ever since, the vase has sat on our dinner table. We're growing old, and it's swell.
