Artistic creations from other countries always seem to catch my attention. This colorful blue vase stood out at a thrift store. It had a sticker price of 79 cents! Immediately, I scooped it up. Turning it over, I read that it was hand-painted in Portugal. A lot of Portuguese art is very colorful and nicely done.
Now elephants are cool animals but there is no burning desire in my heart to collect them (thank heavens). However, I know someone who "unofficially" does collect elephants.
When coming across these little fellows, in the same thrift store as the Portuguese vase, they were a positive "go." Plus, all four of the one-inch elephants fit nicely in the palm of my hand!
