As a busy Bingo hostess, I’m forever on the hunt for crowd-pleasing prizes.  Honey, I could write an entire book on where to shop in NYC for budget knickknacks, baubles and trinkets.

I buy ’em and give away!  Into my apartment and then out!  But once in a great while an item will tickle my fancy so much that I gotta keep it, at least for a while.

On my way to dine last night at my friend Roberto’s Spanish Harlem abode, I got this pair of adorable seven-inch tall elephant statues ($1.19 each).  They’re now on my window mantle, cheering up the whole room.

Until I give some lucky Bingo winner the chance to own them, they’re my new roommates.  Don’t I have good taste?
