Sally’s daughter Nora is the proud recipient of the original Baby Elefante! She whined expressed so much enthusiasm about the original that it only seems fitting that she is his new buddy. The chocolate orange was a bonus; Sally hunted high and low for chocolate oranges at Christmas and came up empty-handed. I found them at the convenience store near my house. Go figure.
ETA from Sally: Tomorrow I shall reveal a Finished Object!!! I know — it’s been a long time since I had one.
What beautiful eyes that young lady has! (The better to see that cute elefante, I suppose.)

OMG, Sally, for the first time I think Nora looks sooo much like you. I never saw it before. The elephant is just adorable, too.

Yay Marsha! I’m going to pretend I’m as pretty as she is. (Don’t burst my bubble.)

If you ever need chocolate oranges, they are a huge staple in the UK at Christmas (and pretty much at other times too. I grew up within 2 miles of the Terry’s factory in York so they featured highly in my Christmas stockings). I can always send some across to you:-)

Ladies- Where’s Sally’s assistant?
We are positively wading in chocolate oranges- Terry’s- and they come in dark, white, mint- and a whole bunch of ways.
If you ever want some- remember the third Rainey.

Beautiful FO’s and gorgeous daughter! I’ve been searching for those chocolate oranges since Thanksgiving – no luck. Maybe next year…

Nora you’re gorgeous and I’m glad the little elefant was there to hug you when I couldn’t.
