Yet another great find for the baby to come--cute, whimsical, and absolutely delightful wrapping paper by Denise Lynn Studios! These elephants would be perfect for my sister's elephant theme. What a great way to wrap a present.

The fact that Polaroid is shutting down its plants hit especially hard today when Karen sent me this link to an absolutely beautiful collection of polaroids by e.soule. These are beautiful and so charming! Polaroid may be stripping us of our film, but at least e. soule has plenty for sale at her etsy shop. And, what do you know--there's an elephant for sale!

Parade of Elephants!

My sister is having a baby {!!} and I am helping her decorate the baby room. The theme is elephants, so I will be going elephant crazy for the next 6 months or so. I had a stuffed elephant growing up that I named "Ellie Phant" from Ramona the Pest...perhaps I can find Ellie Phant and give her a new, very deserving home.

CORRECTION: I just found out, after all of these years of thinking Ramona called her elephant "Ellie Phant", that Ramona Quimby's stuffed elephant was named "Ella Funt". It was also in "Ramona and Her Mother" not "Ramona the Pest". My apologies.
