Thrifty!

I received these little Jens Quistgaard tiny taper brass Dansk candle holders in the mail a few weeks back. A surprise gift from the east coast – thank you Wes!

Let me divert your attention to the elephant in the room behind the Dansk cuteness…

I picked up this ceramic elephant at a little antique store for a few dollars and I swear I’ve seen him around the interweb before. My memory is failing me and I can’t seem to recall where he comes from…

I have this nagging feeling that he is Italian. My feelings tend to be wrong…

He is rad nonetheless.

So if anyone recognizes him, pretty please help jog my memory.
