Hi Kalena Karen, Shelly, Emilie, Annie, Paddy, Nancy, Jo Ann and Susan! :)

I bought this beautiful parasol at Heritage Park, that is featured in my Photo Gallery all through the month of OCT 2010. :) Only 30 Dollars, too! It's really pretty in person.

So glad you like this one and thanks so much for writing.

I am still out of the Country right now but will catch up later with you all!

Have a great month!

PS are you back yet Sis...? #9428045

Irene Colling level-classic June 21, 2011

What a lovely parasol Laura.

Your B&W presentation draws attention to the fine detail of the cutwork and stitching. Your corner placement makes good use of negative space to create a dynamic image.

Well done Laura. #9472011

Laura E. Swan level-classic June 21, 2011
