E is for elephant

Sometimes a simple window display turns out to be the most appealing, and also the fastest to arrange when we're pressed for time.
Here you can see how a gigantic letter E salvaged from an old Tenneco sign serves as the perfect counterpoint for a concrete elephant that has been meticulously restored by San Francisco artisan Peter Quayle. Wouldn't they look marvelously modern in a garden, or a spacious hallway?
The letters T, N, C and O are also available at Timeless Treasures. Each one is 30 inches tall, and priced at $250. Perhaps there's someone on your holiday gift list who would swoon over his or her monogram.
