  14. Everyone deserves a Happy-inducing Zebra RED umbrella on a rainy day. More and more I love that tendency of being bold with things that almost went unnoticed before. Sometimes umbrellas on the street make me smile so much I go along forgetting is raining LOL.
    Hope all is better with you, K.
    Feel my warm hug!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I've just spent far too long perusing their site finding some glorious designs - especially the exclusive fabrics. The Antoine is absolutely what I am looking for, for a project I am working on. Now, how to get it to Australia I wonder?

    These umbrellas are really too cute - would stop traffic I reckon! Hope you have a gorgeous weekend Karena. xx

  72. I'm captivated by their 'Birds of a Feather' design, and indeed by the compelling opulence of the whole range of fabrics. The zebra umbrella, I am convinced, would mark me out at the school gate as an impossibly sophisticated member of the intelligentsia. A lovely giveaway indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Fabulous giveaway. The zebra fabric is beautiful for the color and pattern.. The umbrella is gorgeous! Wishing you the best..

  90. Thank you for dropping by at Eillel Tells. As you may have noticed I've not been very active on my blog since returning from France.......I've just felt too flat and tired after one front on car accident, 2 separate trips to hospital and trying to deal with the mess and bad workmanship which was done by A Piece of Burgundy.

    On to better things......I love the whimsical Scalamandre design and colour. Red is the predominant colour in our formal sitting room. Bon weekend ey=t bisous
