One More for the Collection

Oops I did it again!
Yes, I scored another vintage patio umbrella. 
This one I found at an estate auction in one of the closets in the house. The auctioneer didn't even know it was there but I spotted it right away and immediately almost peed my pants.  I had to ask him to include it in the auction so I could buy it.

Hand crank ones are hard to find.

I wonder if people drive past my house and say...."look there's the crazy umbrella lady with all the old turquoise patio umbrellas"....that would be cool!

  3. Love the umbrella!! My uncle had one like that years ago on his deck. I loved the sound it make when he cranked it open! Anyway, what a great find!! It looks wonderful with your lovely set up outside!

  4. They are so gorgeous! Much prettier than the ones I have, which are mostly old ones from pub beer gardens!
