    Ahh, I adore umbrellas :)
    I'm currently wanting one of those bright yellow ones, or those adorable ones with ears!
    Have a brilliant day!

    so i just had my wedding about a week ago and it was raining all the hours surrounding it except for the hour of the wedding when it was sunny. Thank God but to be honest a small part of me wanted red polka dotted umbrellas in all my wedding pictures :)

    What a fabulous idea! I have always meant to decorate (at some point) with vintage umbrellas. So far, I have only managed to illustrate with them ;)

    this reminds me of the brown frilly umbrella of my gramma's that my mom was saving.
    this week it was really rainy, and she was going to bust it out and let me borrow it.
    but she went to go and open it and it bent with one gush of the wind.
    i love vintage umbrellas.
