I’m thinking today Emily and her family should be getting the box of elephants. I’m so excited to hear how it went!
I also gave a bag of Elephants to a co-worker. She’s an old soul so I picked out a few things, but it was hard to find the right ones for a young lady who has an old soul without giving her “old lady” stuff or stuff that’s too young.
I gave an Elephant bubble maker (Christmas themed) to an other co worker for her granddaughter.
I’m excited about finding new homes, but I find myself thinking about a few Halloween decorations to replace the space those boxes were in …..

Meet Emily – My New Elephantship
September 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment
My new young Elephantship Emily and I have a lot in common. I have packed a small box for this young herd of elephant lovers. I can not wait to hear how it goes. Her mom was kind enough to tell me her Emily’s story.
“Emily has received almost all of her elephants as a gift of some sort. She is currently obsessed with this mini Horton that we bought her as part of her Horton hears a Who movie and one time she lost it and was completely tore up so I rushed straight to the store and bought every single one they had left just in case another incident like that happened again ! Emily is even getting her younger sister into loving elephants and Autumn (other daughter) has started carrying one of Emily’s elephants around. They call them Effenants ( so cute! )
She loves getting her elephant’s picture taken. Some of these are of her birthday party she wanted a big helium balloon elephant and her own elephant cake and she even got a special air brushed elephant shirt among many elephant things such as toys clothes books, and movies. She is wearing her elephant shirt in her party pictures. That is her favorite shirt”.

New Word – Elephantship
September 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Just to get you all up to date – I am now giving away Elephants left and right! It’s fun to find other people who collect them and make a little care package. Its fun trying to think out what kind of person they are and what they would appreciate.
This weekend I repacked some of my collection and I have gone from 30 boxes to 8! That is a lot of new homes! My first attempt at letting my addiction go, I really had hoped to make a few hundred jut to pay back some of the storage cost. Come to find out Elephant collectors not only have the collection in common but their accumulation of the collection is similar. Every elephant collector I’ve spoken to have collections that seems to have started in the same way– a gift, and then they keep getting them as gifts. No need to go out and buy an Elephant because you keep getting them as gifts. We collectors want every Elephant we see, so any Elephant given has immediate value. The financial value no longer exists and the emotional value surpasses.
There is a new posting on my last entry – and I am excited to have made a new Elephantship. And yes THAT IS A WORD, at least it is now. It is a friendship that starts with an Elephant. A simple well loved Elephant.

Still Trying to Find New Homes …

Did a sale a few weekends ago – didn’t do well so I didn’t want to write about it. Been feeling defeated by my collection.
But a friend of mine emailed me more pictures of his girls. The young ladies enjoys their first herd of elephants that their dad said he was up for taking a second herd home. Here are pictures of the girls.
