It's World Elephant Day, who knew? Maybe I knew and forgot - my brain is addled and all I can think about is this sodding book (you know, the one I am supposed to be writing) - I think I might have totally lost the plot. Anyhow. I've always had a soft spot for the gorgeous grey mammal; the elephant is one of the most intelligent animals on earth and it's vegetarian. Manhattan Brother had a toy grey version with a knitted green waistcoat (that my nan made) when we were kids and the factory where my dad worked had an elephant as its logo. So it's practically a family emblem. Gudrun Sjoden has designed this lovely elephant t-shirt and £5 from every sale is donated to the charity Ivory for Elephants. The money goes towards protecting the endangered African elephant - one is killed for its ivory tusks every 15 minutes. It's for a good cause. And hopefully normal service will resume shortly.
Love the shirt!
ReplyDeleteElephants are inspiring creatures and supposedly bring us luck. I have a carved one sitting on my desk just encase!

Bonne chance with your book. Bisous
Great top, and a very worthy cause. I abhor all cruelty to animals, of course - and the elephant is such a smart, sensitive creature.
ReplyDeleteLovely print and a worthy cause, too. Shame its in dull elephant grey, a colour that rarely suits anything but an elephant.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the writing. x
Love the elephant grey top and the cause!
