If the The Winter Doldrums have you feeling
blue, hopefully this will brighten your day!
Perhaps now is a good time to start ~fantasizing~

parasols, purchased at a garage sale.
And make glorious light fixtures!
Using an upside down parasol for a chandelier, can masquerade an ugly light fixture. It casts a beautiful light, and is reminiscent of Fortuny lamps. For more info. about how to make one....email me, or simply buy one at the Luna bazaar.
I wish all the ladies carried Parasols.
You can go here for more about their history.
Hope this added a little sunshine to your
winter day!
