Pimp Your Crib: Wild About Elephant Interiors
Maybe it's Dumbo, maybe it's Horton Hears a Who, or maybe it's all the trips to the local zoo, but little children love elephants. The majestic animal's shape has become a staple in nursery decor in the past few years and even the most design conscious adults have to give the big guys some credit. The elephant furnishings come in gender neutral color palates and classic, but fun shapes like this magnificent Eames Plastic Elephant by Vitra chair ($290).Trendtotting: Elephant Couture
After being inundated with ads from mass marketers for the past six weeks, it feels good to find products designed by individuals with a flair for whimsy. Elephant Couture is a small, but beautiful line of infant and toddler clothing designed by New York-based portrait photographer Leslie Hassler.

Sugarbabies: an Elephant and a Circus Peanut
This post comes from the Sugarbabies group from member GMarie.

Halloween brings an extra helping of cuteness when it comes to lil Sugarbabies. We went bananas for a cute lil monkey, peanuts for an elephant and now it's time to go pretty-in-pink with a sugar-filled cupcake. Mama DStirk shares:
While my daughter's costume is a little lost in translation due to it being too hot for her to wear the hat and tights (which really made her costume), she's still the sweetest cupcake I've ever seen.

E Is For Enhancing With Earthly Accents
Elephants may trump all other "E"-themed nurseries, but they walk on the ground and that's why we'll celebrate with this decor. Earth, in all of its glory, is full of creatures big and small, brown and white, chirpy and snappy. Adorn walls with a natural wooden mobile, squirrel bookends, and a deco tree stand.
Lil Find: Hand-Embroidered Onesies
When second and third children arrive, I like to buy them something a bit out of the ordinary. Their homes are already filled with baby bouncers, swings, board books and hooded towels from the first tot's arrival. I tend to go with something personalized.
