~wolf #1
well, since no one wants to go first, i have one elephant from Lenox, and then an elephant box from Harmony Kingdom. i do love elephants as they are such huge creatures full of personality. granted, my house isn't filled with elephant paraphanelia, but.....

Have several - from Pennsylvania Senatorial race while I was at Penn State, I got several little blue ceramic ones...then there is a larger one i somehow ended up with from my Grandfather (have no idea where it is now) and plastic ones hanging from campaign buttons...Oh, and a little ceramic one which holds my rings.

Oh, and some little Jade ones too...
~wolf #5
are their trunks raised? have heard that a raised trunk on an elephant is a sign of good luck....you should see the gift shops at the casinos-filled with little overpriced good luck elephants....
~MarciaH #6
The large metal one the trunk is just slightly curled up like a J...My ringholder one by necessity has it straight up like a L and the little ones are made for good luck anyway so theirs are either linked with the tail of the next elephant or are curled up for good luck.

*lol* about the Casinos. We went to a wedding in Las Vegas (Don't want to go there again in August!) The whole place is so bizarre. As far as I am concerned, it is only good for people watching, and that is more than a little frightening!!! Anyhow, as I browsed the gift shops I wondered if there was a Republican convention in town from all the little elephant figurines, hair clips, jewellry and whatnots.
