I didn't know you were an owl collector, too, Spider. I have quite a

Are the elephants facing the right way?

Oh don't give me something else to worry about! A friend from (old)
Rhodesia told me they should all have upturned trunks for good luck.

That is supposedly so they can offer flowers up to Buddha using their
trunks,presumably a tradition that applies more to Asian Elephants.

How interesting. Now I have an explanation and one that makes sense, too.
I'm afraid I haven't checked the ethnicity of my elephants!

The right way I was alluding to is that an elephant should always face
out of the door for the house to have good luck.
others say they should always look right.

And again, thank you. I'll spend a happy and fruitless day rearranging my
elephants!!

lol
