Umbrellas

A canopy designed to protect against precipitation or sunlight.

What can I say...
This is what I'm after.

The cheesy jellyfish umbrella costume, not made by an obsessive fabric artist:
(they use glowsticks rather than battery powered twinkle lights, pshaw!) This is only the instruction page.

And, the Martha version, simply over the top!
Naturally the one I am headed for. I guess under it all I am supposed to dress like a condom too. Don't know if I will be able to talk TY into all this.

Buy stock in bubblewrap! That's my next order.

And here is my umbrella order confirmation to prove I am on the way.

Here are a couple of doggie umbrellas, Each pooch needs two as you can see, one for sun, one for rain.

And not to forget the parasol (segue from the doggie sunbrella)

And a personal favorite use for cocktail parasols other than on a dress like we saw on Project Runway this week:


Bright Lights-Little City has the best website! They have their little parasol lamps fixed so when you mouse-over the fixture, they light up. I love these lamps!

OK, that's it for umbrellas, I promise never to revisit!
