The Weekly Story ~ wk 50

Yay!! Its the 50th party!! Yay!! So my loves... How are you doing?? Did you have a good weekend? Do you remember seeing these elephants from Thailand in my earlier post? Well... the lower elephant fell and broke *sobs*.. It is currently fixed using super glue *smiles*.. I've now moved them to the coffee table and they are placed on these books... so incase they fall, the damage is less... I still have to paint the elephants feet... Can you see the white spot?? 

Inspired by Richa's greens that were at home.. I've now placed this in a vase on the bar... Post on bar coming up soon... *smiles* Do you like my greens?

Oh.. and my metal bell broke too.. Don't ask.. I've got three kids.. (two girls and a little pup)... and they can just about break anything!! *sigh* ... My cousin got me this... I'm so thrilled... *smiles*...

Gifts

Don't you just love receiving gifts? Who doesn't!!??

This one came specially from Kuwait... from a friend who remembered that I love elephants... Not only did she send me elephants... but even the little card had elephants printed on them... Now isn't that thoughtful!!!! Its so nice to have friends who love you sooooooo much!!

Elephants - Not mans best friend.... but mine for sure!!!

Glorious Elephants

First of all I want to feature this Rajasthani wall!! I am so impressed by the artists.


I love elephants and am very fascinated with this majestic and royal animal. Its grandeur brings it so close to my heart.

How majesty resplendent with a huge body but an innocent and lovable look. Life comes in all sizes, the big ones obviously look more glorious and glamourous.

Here is a peek into my home!! Elephants... sure stand tall & strong as my best friend.

My cup of tea also has my favourite animal on it... My love undying!!

Can you see the regal splendour? These are my costers. I picked this up from Marble Rocks in Jabalpur!!

This coaster is from my Bangalore trip! I will have a seperate blog on coasters as well...

These Elephants are at the entrace of my house. They walk in the same direction as I do... when I walk into my home..

This elephant was a gift from Ramya from her Srilanka trip... standing gloriously on my bathroom shelf.

I fell in love with these the minute I saw them... The very second day, my younger daughter- Yvonne broke one of them. Thank God for super glue. Can you tell?? These stand beautifully on my center table.

This incence holder is from my trip to Elephanta Caves in Mumbai. Isn't this lovely?

This was a gift from my close friend Karishma, from her Bangkok trip. I treasure and value each elephant...

The below bed spread is a Christmas gift from Rose, all the way from Goa !

The one below stands tall on my so called dressing table, with the treasure box filled with my jewellery. This one is a gift from my brother, Arafat.

These are on my magnet board.... fridge Magnest from Cape Town (gift from my friend, Sonja) and one from Kenya (from my trip)!

This lovely oil burner stands on my dining table... and spreads the smell all over the house!!

More posts from my house to follow !! Do tell me what you think.... comment or write to me on torresp27@hotmail.com.
