I have the feeling that we will be the ones stampeding over to Elizabeth McKay today for these incredibly cute patent leather elephant key chains. These are a must for the lover of Chinoiserie Chic, Palm Beach Chic, and Prepster Style. They would make a perfect stocking stuffer, baby shower gift, bridesmaid gift, or stock up now for Christmas gifts for all those tough to shop for people on your list. What color is your favorite? I love the pink, of course. As with all of of their Elephant Products, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to African Parks in hopes of curbing the Ivory trade and preserving wildlife in Africa. A worthy cause.

The white elephant stool is a hot trend in Chinoiserie Chic decor. Here are rooms for inspiration and sources to get you started.

I saw this on One Kings Lane and thought it was a great idea. Many of us have Chinese garden stools in our homes and gardens - as you might imagine, I have quite a few. I love the idea of topping it with a tray to turn it into a side table. This would work perfectly with a blue and white Chinese garden stool and a round or hexagonal tray - I need to try this. One could use a lacquer tray for a modern vibe or a vintage silver or brass one for a more elegant look.

My Pinterest board on The Chinese Garden Stool has lots of inspiration.
