Singing in the Rain

I might be if I had one of these stylish umbrellas. This is one of my favorites from pare*umbrella. Sure, it's a little plain, but that doesn't mean it isn't pretty. It's called Sonnet.

Just for fun, I included some of my other finds. It was difficult to narrow my picks but I did the best I could. This one is by French designer Guy de Jean. It's the Can Can Parasol (there are also some colors available in full umbrella). Sorry ladies and gentlemen, this pink parasol is all sold out.

This is the Rorschach Umbrella by "World Renowned Calligrapher Bernard Maisner." Kinda puts the fun into functional, wouldn't you say? It (along with other fabulous finds) is available on the Tray 6 website.

A more-affordable designer umbrella by Marimekko: the Petrooli in blue and green, available at Umbrellas.net (as are the final two designs on this post).

If you want striking, try this Black & White Pinwheel Pagoda by Bella Pagoda (another of my favorites!).

And for those of you in mourning, 1800's-style, try this Vintage Black Mourning Parasol, fully restored from the "silky black fabric" to the "deckled finish [post] and beautifully detailed silver knob."
