A Quest for an Elephant Necklace
I am known to be quite resourceful in finding something when I want it. This particular trait was inherited from my mother who does not accept "NO" as an answer. Well, I am stumped.

Here is the wild goose chase that has ensued and after an extensive online search this is what I have to report. Matchbook Magazine Article Check it out. The house is great.
