flea market finds: an elephant candle

i am soooo looking forward to this big flea market in Spain that i am counting the days when we can finally visit it. this is one of those times i wish i can drive! really! but alas i am also sticking to my low carbon footprint principle so... its a big *sigh* but i am patient! (repeat to self a hundred and one times!) in the meantime, i found this adorable baby elephant candle for £2 at a charity shop here in Gib. i fell in love with her instantly! she has an almost real quality about her with dry-brushed grooves and her trunk is up which ive been told is lucky (i have no idea which culture said that)
here she is sitting ever so comfy on top of a National Geographic spread about her cousins from the north :)
