I write fiction at night, am almost always hungry, and am still working on that cure for procrastination... Elephantine is about finding beautiful objects and reporting the daily minutiae.
I love getting email.
Posts about inspiration, however, do borrow photos from other sites. If I've used one of your photos and you'd like it removed, please just let me know.

Recent etsy faves... ivory earrings from sixes+sevens, little rosie mary jane shoes from bellasymphony, and journaling tags from elles.
Tonight is scary movie night. Just watched 30 Day of Night and now mid-way through 28 Weeks Later. By "watch," I mean pay enough attention to get what's going on and pretending to watch when the freaky music starts.
A while ago I think I mentioned making the boyfriend a mixtape for valentine's day. It takes me forever to get this type of post together, but here it is. The idea wasn't to find a bunch of mushy or themed lyrics – it was more or less to just find good bands that he hadn't heard of and try to pick one of their best songs. And that was kind of hard, since I wasn't familiar with most of these bands. Anyway, enjoy... and happy friday!

Aww, sweet. Cup-a-Cake set from Williams Sonoma. Wish I liked eating cupcakes more since they're fun to make & decorate.
Annnnd I'm back. Feeling much (though not 100%) better. Tonight's discovery... sweet soft hues from Juma.
Hey there. I'm still out of commission, sleeping for the most part. In the meantime, check out tinyshop, this blog that I found recently, that "celebrates the preciousness of "mini" -- the shortest distance between 2 points, the space of minutiae, and creative endeavors on a small scale."
Ugh. I am totally sick. I think one of the worst things about having a cold is how it messes up your sleep. Not only did I probably not ever truly fall asleep but I had those dreams where I had an impossible task to complete and it made me all anxious, even when waking up. Now I also have these contradictory feelings where I don't even want to look at food because my taste buds hit the road but yet I really want fatty, sweet things like the ice cream above. Well.. pssh, okay. I'm making it sound worse than it is. Happy Sunday!
I just finished sewing all these little guys that are going to be shipped off to New York and live in a little shop over there. I love having a whole group of them and am feeling good about all the work done. Unfortunately I'm also feeling a little icky, am hoping I'm not coming down with something. Not sure what all is planned for this weekend – I think we're going to a bike swap today. Oh, and watching the Oscars tomorrow, unless they really suck.
Lovely rich colors and great pieces in rokdarbi's shop.
These little mischievous guys from BicycleOcean make me smile. I love candy-striped pants (uh, just on characters, not in real life). I've been thinking of dressing up one of my own creations in a similar outfit.
