Default Umbrellas ... WHO'S GOT UMBRELLAS??????

I'm looking for about 10-20 CUTE kids' umbrellas. I've checked dollar stores, ebay, wholesale google, I contacted an umbrella place, and asked if I could buy their discards ... but I've had no luck. The dollar stores have umbrellas, but they're ugly for what I want them for. I want pretty bright colors ... no black, navy, tan or burgundy, and I don't want to spend more than $2.00 - $3.00 each. Any suggestions????????????

P.S. They can even be torn ... they don't have to be perfect as long as they can go up and down. AND PRETTY!

I found this on eBay. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for.

LOT LOTS 6 UMBRELLAS UMBRELLA BRAND NEW - eBay (item 320271313514 end time Jul-13-08 10:44:28 PDT)

Otherwise you could try scouring thrift stores.

I have the perfect one. It is a bright red panda head umbrella about a foot across. There are all over the place at the umbrella shops in Seoul in several colorful colors. I am not seeing any online however which is weird since something this cheesy you'd expect everywhere...

I will break down and look there ... I haven't been in our new store much other than their grand opening when I clowned for them, but if you say they have good umbrellas, I will check it out. Thanks.

Hey, Jolly ... how's the little baby doing these days????

Starting to crawl (kinda - more of a scoot) and his first two teeth finally made their appearance in the past few days - changes his look so much.

He "cow-ed" with Chasity at Chik-Fil-A yesterday (I'll post a pic when I get it downloaded from my camera).

He's getting pretty fun as he becomes cognitive and more interactive. He appeared to recognize my neice (who is 7 weeks younger than he) as a fellow baby the other day - pretty funny. (He did the excited baby panting and running in place thing).

They used to have rainbow umbrella hats. Probably still do. Don't know how much they cost, though.

You can get them at Larock's for about $2. Also found in many Dollar Tree stores in the toy section.
