Sunshine or rain.....

Sunshine or rain...I will be indoors this week end...making Valentine cards and yes, updating my etsy shop which presently looks so miserably boring, translating some equally boring stuff about remnants of hedge funds, dreaming of a romantic sunny walk, sporting one of these delicacies.....



Sunny or rainy
Frilly or frumpy
Have an adorable week end !

and yes...I confirm, I claim it loud, my shop will be definitely
updated over the week end....thank you for your patience !


pics : these ravishing parasols from the end of the last century or early XXth cent.
can be see at El Museo del Traje en Madrid

I wish you a very nice week-end. I hope that you enjoy it, it would be fun except this translation stuff you have to do.

You could picture me as the customer waiting outside your shop while the doors are still closed. You arrange your new products and you are about to open and I am sneaking through the blinders covering the door to see what's in there?

Feliz fin de semana.

Such delightful images. I would like a wardrobe of parasols like these - one for every outfit.

Beautiful parasoles!
I didn't discover until now that you mentioned me in a post a couple of weeks ago...Thank you for that and for your own beautiful blog!

Wow, for a moment I thought you had made the parasolls!

I'm catching up on blogs and I have to say I'm really impressed with your Valentine's cards. They are beautiful and unique! Where do you get your material from? Absolutely gorgeous.

Have a nice weekend!

I spend part of my summers in a VERY hot & sunny climate. I always have my polka dotted parasol handy!

Last summer I saw a woman walking down the street during the heat of the summer in Atlanta using the umbrella with the lace overlay. The umbrella the woman was using to shield her from the summer sun was blue with ecru lace. I have been looking for one ever since. It is beautiful.

Instead, I guess I will have to settle for my pink one that when opened is a large shasta daisy!!

Lalita, qué sombrillas tan increíblemente románticas! Muchísimas gracias por pasarte por mis "Tres Cosas Hermosas", me alegró saber de tí, aunque esa traducción sounds like a real bummer! Ojalá pudiera ayudarte pero mi francés es penoso...

Nuestro weekend está totalmente girado del revés por culpa de unas tormentas y vendavales horribles que están pasando por Cataluña, Teruel y Tarragona... hace tanto viento que no podemos salir de casa! Teníamos que ir a Tarragona a unos ensayos de violín y piano de mi marido y después a Barcelona a ver a mi mami, pero... estamos atrapados. En fin... veremos la segunda parte de la Apu Trilogy! Disfrutad el weekend...

Dear elegant blogger friend, I must have one of those parasols for my promenade. How lovely. I'm so sorry you have ennui..may a healthy dose of Monchéri revitalize your creative spirit and abundant heart, Lala Ema. <3

Before I even got to the end of the post I was all set to ask you were I can buy one of those lovely parasols and now I see they are in a museum! I guess I'll just have to make one!
Enjoy what is left of the weekend.

Those parasols definitely are ravishing. It's very rare to find antique ones in good condition. Good luck with all your weekend activities. Look forward to seeing your etsy offerings! xo

Beautiful parasols, especially the first one ... Oh, goodness, hedge funds - now that IS boring - good luck! (I had to proofread some history material this weekend, thank god it is finished now - almost all the names were misspelt - but tonight I am going to relax with some tango!!)

Those are lovely. I love the one which looks like some Harry Potter witch brooms. Haha!

Have a nice day!

Oh my goodness, these are fantastic! Although I know if you were a parasol designer, you could create something just as lovely.

If I had an umbrella like one of these, I would never lose it on the bus or in a restaurant!
