Covet, covet, covet

You would think that with the collection of parasols I have, not to mention the fact that I know how to re-cover using whatever fabrics strike my fancy, that my head would not be turned by someone selling modern parasols.

Yeah, I thought that, too. Until I discovered that there's someone who is making folding parasols and umbrellas with large-ish canopies. And is also making very nice handbags, some of which have loops to securely hold your folded-up parasol.

Pricey, yes. But very, very nice.
