April showers bring... the need for a new umbrella. How can you worry about May flowers when your hair is getting
wet? Umbrellas are a useful tool that we don't give much thought to until caught in a down-pour and I have never had
good luck from the $10 variety peddled by street vendors, no matter that they
promise it's a real (insert
designer name here). This time, I'm planning in advance. I love this
Brick Rain Dot Umbrella from the
Seattle company
Pare Umbrella. It is 3-feet in diameter when opened and has
a gorgeous natural rattan hooked handle.
Price: $56.
