thursday love



I don't care if you're drinking three day-old coffee out of a rotten boot, a little paper umbrella will always make it better. always.

I love little paper umbrellas.

  2. hell yes, girl. I have one of these umbrellas stuck to my board at work just over my computer screen. I'm looking at it right now. Anything that adds this much color can't be bad.

  3. wendy, I have a feeling that coffee would still be pretty bad. but the sight of a little pink umbrella in a rotten boot might make you feel better. ha. :)

    danette, that's the way to do it. it's the little paper umbrellas and that shot of color-- that's what gets you through the day.

  6. Yes yes! Umbrellas always make me happy and when they've skewered a chunk of pineapple thrown into a Zombie or some other luscious alcholic beverage, you have a happy woman.

  9. Good talkin' to you and Ward. This photo is purty. I'd love to blow it up ten times the size, frame it, and hang it above the fabulous minibar I plan to own one day. Serious!

  12. Love them too! A few months ago I saw a page in a decorating book that featured the most awesome thing: someone had taken pretty tree branches out of the garden and stripped the leaves off and attached paper umbrellas to them with wire and put them in a vase like a bouquet! There were also leaves made of cut newspaper with words on them, and it was so sweet. I keep meaning to make one! Wish I had a photo to share so you could visualize it better.

    dad, you are the ultimate coffee-drinker. of all time.

    lovegreendog, paper umbrellas in smoothies? perfection. they even work in milk... ava swears by them.

    justin, consider it done, my friend. anything for you!

    tongue in cheek, yes! I agree! the power of the little paper umbrella is unmatched. they should be served with every drink, all over the world. :)

    oh laini, that idea sounds fantastic. that has summer party written all over it.
