Not sure about the ivy part, but I'm wondering if you might be Deltas. My good friend is a Delta and she collects elephants.
I am also a follower. Thanks for the chances to win.
Hi! I am a follower and I don't know why you chose Ivy and Elephants, but could it be because of a sorority? Your blog is beyond gorgeous!! And what a magnificent giveaway--WOW!!!

Hi Ladies!
Congratulations on 2 months. The elephant represents the strong hearts of the Delta Sigma Theta sisters and the ivy stands for the strong, long lasting friendships of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters. Is it ok that I did a little research? Love your blog name and what it represents!

Love your blog! I know that there was a lot of symbolism in Victorian times--perhaps Ivy and Elephants is taken from there? Even if its not, I love the name (HUGE elephant fan!)

Not sure why you chose the name maybe because you are dreamers- strong and passionate about your ideas.

Thank you very much for the invitation. The winner be a lucky and a very happy person. I am new follower. I am inclined to agree with Lynn on your title. I do not do Facebook or Twitter. My "smarts" does not understand the linking process. I will be back to see what other great posts you share.
OK, one of you loves Ivy and gardening and the other collects elephants.
I became a follower and listed you on my favorite blog list.
On Tuesday I gave your giveaway a shout out with your button.
I am on Facebook so I will visit you there.
It is a pleasure to meet you Patti and Paula. Thank you for the chance to win your sweet giveaway.
Best wishes on your new Blog. It looks like you already have a jump start. You go girls.
Hugs, Jeanne
It may be for Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha. However I believe that you are strong, family oriented women with a keen sense of family like the beloved Elephant. Ivy speaks of endurance, determination and beauty.
Thanks for the giveaway. Hugs, Ginger
I'm a follower.
I'm a follower of your lovely blog.
Maybe the name comes from the fact that Ivy is a hardy and beautiful plant that grows in a lot of places. And Elephants because it's a symbol of prosperity and good luck.
Hey lovely ladies! What a fantastic giveaway! That bottle is just gorgeous and you know we are happy followers/friends of your incredible blog. :-)
Vanessa
I just 'liked' you on Facebook too!
Vanessa
Hi Girls,
Took your button and is already on my blog.

Congrats on 2 months! Having read the comments I feel as thought I'd be cheating to say symbols of your sororities. How about I just guess that they are things you love :-) The ivy in the elephant at the beginning of your post is just precious and so is the pretty bottle. Thank you for your generosity!
For some reason I seem to believe that the name of Ivy and Elephants has something to do with both of your mothers. Perhaps one is named Ivy and the other one likes or liked elephants and collected them. If you are sisters, still think mother's name is Ivy and she collected elephants.
Rainbows and Smiles...Lu
I am a follower, however I would be just making a wild guess as to your fabulous blog name!

Hello again
maybe you named your blog Ivy & Elephants because one of you liked Ivy & the other Elephants ????????????please let us know
Janice
ps
I am a follower and have had you on my side bar since you first commented on my blog
Janice
So wonderful! Beautiful post as always!:)
Friend, I would love to see you on my blog:)
New follower here! I think I'm going to like visiting you both very, very much!
Only 2 months blogging? You are so fantastic already! I predict great success!
Okay, here is my guess -- one of you lives in an ivy covered cottage and the other collects elephants (I noticed quite a few when I read past posts). Or, you met at a circus and you both have ivy tattoos. Whatever the reason, the name of your blog is intriguing!
Just put your button on my sidebar. Welcome to the world of blog!
I am a follower and would love to be entered in your beautiful giveaway.
Dee
HI to both of you. I just became your follower because I like your style and your blog. About why you chose your blogs name. Maybe ones first name is Ivy and the others surname is Elephant. Why not. I would love to enter in your give away. I hve a give-away too.
By the way. My name is Riet, and I live in Holland.
I first thought maybe that's what captured your hearts, but then I saw the comment regarding your sororities! Love your blog!
So~only one of you must be a Delta and the other one belongs to AKA. It's amazing you can actually be friends. hehehe
Well, I've been a follower of your sweet blog and I really don't have any idea on why you chose your name. It is a great name, though!
Blessings,
Janet
I'm definitely a follower...I love your blog!
I'm a new follower~
I think you've always wanted to have a pet elephant and are filling your basement with ivy to feed him with. Now to fill the tub with peanuts...
Hmmmm...the name could be due to a sorority, club, or your fave things. :) Fabulous giveaway. I'm a follower too. :)
What a fabulous giveaway! I am not sure why you chose the name Ivy and Elephants but I love that it is very unique :).
I just liked you on facebook...
Great giveaway - count me in! I am already a faithful follower! Diane
I have just put your giveaway button on my sidebar. I will be keeping my fingers crossed!
I love your blog and I'm happy to follow :)
Lovely giveaway! I am a follower and a fan! x Sharon
Thanks for visiting me!! So glad I inspired you for Fall!!
Have a great weekend!!!
XO,
Rosemary
That is a beautiful bottle, what a lovely give away.
I am a follower already!
And I have no idea about your name. But now I'm very curious! I think it's a great name.......what's the story??
1. I liked y'all on Facebook.
2. We both attended HBCUs soooooo.....I think you chose "Ivy and Elephants" because you are a Delta and your partner is an AKA (skee-wee)!
Where my prize at? LoL!
~Lydia
I just started following your blog! Your bottles are wonderful!
I just followed you on twitter too!
Hi Patti and Paula!
Such a pretty bottle. I'm a follower :)
Karen
Hello Lovely Ladies~
What a pretty bottle. Love seeing such creative ways to use old thing.
Have a wonderful weekend~
Now after seeing these fabulous old photos and reading your blog I am a follower.
My guess is that you name stems from more than the elephant plant holder with the ivy plant in it. My guess is that as two creative mothers you love helping things grow and making memories. An elephant never forgets, right? lol
Congratulations, this is one very stylish and ultra classy place to visit! Peace, Love and Rock on, Sistas! Julia<3
Why Ivy & Elephants???? Did your grandmas collect elephants and loved ivy plants! Please enter me in your giveaway!
Wishes & Kisses!
